Summer weddings are in full swing, and with them come the age-old question: what should I wear? Summer weddings can be tricky, but with our guide, you'll be dressed to impress, without worrying about what bra to wear. In this article, we'll give you tips on what to wear to a summer wedding, how to choose the perfect bra for your dress, and other styling tips.
What should I wear to a Summer wedding?
The first step to dressing for a summer wedding is to consider the type of wedding you're attending.
Beach Weddings
For beach weddings, choose lightweight and flowy fabrics that will keep you cool in the heat. Maxi dresses, jumpsuits, and sundresses are perfect options for this setting.
Outdoor Garden Weddings
For outdoor garden weddings, you can opt for light and airy dresses made from cotton or linen. Floral prints, pastels, and bright colors are great for a summer wedding.
Formal Indoor Weddings
For formal indoor weddings, you'll want to dress up in elegant and chic attire. Maxi dresses, cocktail dresses, and jumpsuits are great options for this type of event.
What should I wear to an outdoor Summer wedding?
Dressing for outdoor summer weddings can be tricky, especially with the heat.
Dress Options
For outdoor summer weddings, consider wearing breathable and lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen. Maxi dresses, sundresses, and jumpsuits are great options for outdoor weddings.
Texture Options
Summer is the perfect time to play with textures like lace, crochet, and embroidery.
What color should I wear for a Summer wedding?
Summer weddings are perfect for experimenting with bright colors and bold patterns.
Color Options
For a summer wedding, you can't go wrong with bright and bold colors like yellow, orange, pink, and turquoise. Floral prints, gingham, and stripes are also great for summer weddings.
The White Dress
While it used to be considered a fashion faux-pas to wear white to a wedding, the rule has relaxed in recent years. However, make sure to check with the bride first to avoid any misunderstandings.
What's the best bra for the dress I'm wearing?
Different types of bras work best with certain dress silhouettes.
Strapless Dress
For strapless dresses, opt for a strapless bra or a stick-on bra without bands or straps. Our Silicone Sticky Bra gathers your breasts for cleavage but doesn't lift, so if you need lift, boob tape is the better choice.
Backless Dress
For backless dresses, you can opt for a backless bra, a transparent back bra, or Adhesive Nipple Covers, which hold to your skin when the dress gives them nothing else to hold onto. If the dress needs lift, add boob tape over the covers for the ceremony and photos, around three to four hours, and take it off with oil. Invisible Lingerie Tape keeps the fabric itself in place.
Halter Dress
Halter dresses are a fashionable and versatile silhouette for summer weddings. However, they often leave the upper part of your back exposed, so we recommend nipple covers, Invisible Lingerie Tape to keep the neckline in place, or a halter neck bra.
Wrap Dress
Wrap dresses are best paired with plunge bras that make a deep, v-shaped outline.
Is it okay to not wear a bra if I'm wearing a dress?
Yes. You can go braless for summer weddings, especially if your dress comes with built-in support.
Nipple Cover Options
If you're going without a bra, we recommend using nipple covers for dresses like our Adhesive Nipple Covers. They come in three sizes and five shades (Creme, Honey, Caramel, Cocoa and Mocha), and they give you comfortable, reliable coverage from getting dressed to the last dance. They cover, they don't lift; for lift, that's boob tape.
How do I use Invisible Lingerie Tape?
Invisible Lingerie Tape is an excellent way to prevent wardrobe malfunctions and fashion mishaps at your upcoming event. It's double-sided tape for your clothes. The easiest way is to stick a strip to the inside of your top or dress where it gapes or slips. Make sure it's centered and securely attached, then press the fabric into place. Run your finger along the area you placed the tape to apply extra pressure, and you're done. It works on most fabrics but holds less well on textured, heavy or oily ones, and each strip is single use.
How do I hide my bra lines?
No one wants to see your bra lines, and there are a few styling tricks you can use to keep them out of sight.
Strap Solutions
One way to hide bra lines is to use a bra strap clip to position your straps in a way that works with the style of your dress.
Lingerie Tape Solutions
Another way is to use Invisible Lingerie Tape. Flip the straps of your top or dress inside-out and place one strip of tape onto the inside fabric. Press the straps (and tape) onto your bra straps, take a look in the mirror, and your bra straps should be hidden.
Final Thoughts
Summer weddings are all about fun, flowy dresses and bright colors. Don't stress about what bra to wear. There are plenty of options available. Remember to pick the best type of bra for your dress silhouette, or go braless with comfortable nipple covers for dresses like our Adhesive Nipple Covers. Our what to wear under guide covers backless, strapless and halter dresses in more detail. With these tips, you're sure to look stunning at any summer wedding you attend.
