If you like to wear black as much as I do, then for sure, you were thrilled when you read the title and introduction and found out that you can wear black for a wedding in winter, weren’t you?

Clearly, you will be less thrilled, once you will figure out that it’s not a black wedding guest dress that I had in my mind. Still, something black is better than nothing. Especially if that “something black” is a black blazer which makes all the style tricks a black wedding guest dress would.

HOW TO WEAR BLACK FOR A WEDDING IF YOU ARE A WEDDING GUEST

So how to wear black for a wedding if you are a wedding guest and don’t really want to offend the bride by wearing black to her wedding?

For sure, this is a tricky question if you think about a black dress as the only option to wear black for the wedding and look chic. After all, we all want to wear black for a wedding to look chic, and feel confident, right?

Except, a black wedding guest dress is not the only way to wear black for a wedding.

You can wear a black blazer over a colourful wedding guest dress instead. Trust me, you will feel as chic and as confident in a black blazer over a pastel wedding guest dress as you would feel in a black wedding guest dress.

Especially if you copy my winter wedding guest outfit from heels to hairpins. Just make sure that the black blazer you are about to wear for a wedding, is made from jacquard that’s woven with flowers or a luxurious pattern.

LONG BLUE WEDDING GUEST DRESS

Surely, you know the long blue wedding guest dress that I’m wearing already. You have seen me wearing this Self-Portrait dress for a wedding in spring and also for a wedding in summer. If you don’t recall, I wore it as a morning dress for a wedding in summer.

This Self-Portrait dress is truly the most versatile wedding guest dress that I have. It can even be worn in two different ways. As a long wedding guest dress with short sleeves or as off-the-shoulder long wedding guest dress. It’s your choice. I wear it both ways, depending on the season and the location.

BLUE PUMPS

As you can see, I styled my black and blue winter wedding guest outfit with blue pumps (shop here) for an indoor winter wedding.

By the way, the blue pumps I’m wearing are from Gianvito Rossi, and you can get them here. Not sure if they still have them in the same colour, though, but it’s worthy of a click.

BLACK BAG

Last but not least, if you want to copy my look, you will need a little black clutch as well.

Ps. You don’t need to match your bag with the shoes for a wedding this winter.

WINTER WEDDING GUEST HAIR AND MAKEUP

Finally, the hairpins and winter wedding guest makeup.

The rumour is that pearl hairpins won’t go out of style anytime soon. Nevertheless, check all the other barrettes available for you to wear for a winter wedding in my hair accessories trend report, as well.
