What to Wear to a Black Tie Wedding: Wedding Guest Dresses You Will Love

Weddings can be so much fun. However, knowing what to wear to a black tie wedding and finding that perfect wedding guest dress can be a daunting task. But, glamorous evening gowns shouldn’t be hard to find. That’s why I selected these Black Tie Wedding Guest Dresses to help you decide what to wear to a black tie wedding.

I selected glamorous evening gowns that fit every budget and evening gown options that you will receive non-stop compliments on, as well as evening gowns with long sleeves that are modest attire.

Evening gowns are classic and glamorous. The most classic color to wear as a wedding guest is black but neutrals, jewel tones, and metallics work well too. During the summer, you can opt for pastel colors.

What is the Dress Code for Black Tie Weddings?

The attire for most of the weddings in Los Angeles (or at least, the ones I attend) tends to be black tie.

I always opt for a black lace evening gown. Black is the perfect color to wear to an evening wedding. The dress code in Los Angeles tends to be more casual, but black tie is black tie anywhere; it’s a universal dress code.

I choose glamorous and elegant lace evening gowns — the type of evening gown that will get you complimented left and right as soon as you step out of the car.

You are bound to have fun at the wedding of a loved one or friend no matter what you wear, but when you feel chic, that is even more fun.

Once you find that perfect evening gown, you will want to wear it over and over. You wouldn’t be able to guess how many times I have worn the above evening gown to fun black tie weddings!
