Wedding guests 'wondering what to wear'

As more and more couples decide to tie the knot abroad, it is becoming more difficult for wedding guests to decide on an outfit, it has been claimed.

The Birmingham Post reported that it is hard to know whether to wear a traditional posh hat and dress or a more casual summery dress to the big day.

"I am finding that more and more people are getting married at different kinds of venues," said IT buyer Emma Walls, who is attending two weddings this year - one in a stately home and one in Cyprus.

"The good thing is a lot of retailers are catering for the change in wedding locations and have a great selection of accessories which work for any type of wedding."

She recommended a strapless black and white floral dress for a glamorous wedding, whereas the newspaper claimed a sundress from with summery accessories is perfect for a beach celebration.

Forbes magazine recently said that brides planning a garden or informal wedding this summer could take a break from tradition and wear a knee-length dress.
