Evening weddings are more formal. Invitations may say black tie or opt for semiformal.
1. An evening wedding is an occasion to dress up. Pull out those really dressy things you thought you'd never have another opportunity to wear. Remember that this is the bride's special moment, so don't feel the need to go overboard and outdress her.
2. The more formal the venue, the dressier the attire.
3. Guys, it is tux time again. Pull it out of its hiding place in the closet or consider a rental.
4. Black tie means just that: a black bowtie and cummerbund.
5. Opt for a formal gown or ensemble for black tie, ladies.
5. Regard semiformal as slightly less dressy than black tie. A man may opt for a cummerbund and tie that match the colors of his date's dress, or a very nice dark suit and tie. A woman might consider an elegant cocktail dress..
6. Select shoes that are comfortable. You'll be on your feet dancing well into the evening. Stockings are a must.
