The Guests
What to wear in just about any scenario.

Beachfront
Instead of flip-flops, try sandals or wedges. You may be on sand, but you still want to show respect.

Backyard
Instead of a strappy sundress, try cap sleeves. This setting isn't an excuse to dress for a barbecue.

Church or Temple
Instead of a pashmina, try a shrug or cashmere cardigan. Who wants to hold a shawl in place?

Ballroom
Instead of tea-length, try to-the-floor, or even a sexy tux look. You want to create a long, elegant silhouette.
