Dressing for a Wedding
– the Precis Guide for Petites
A wedding outfit is a big investment, and by definition it’s not an everyday purchase.
To ensure you look the part, Precis has put together some top tips for the discerning petite wedding guest to make sure the Big Day is every bit as special as it promises to be.
1. When choosing your wedding outfit, comfort is as important as style. Wear something you feel comfortable in e.g. a petite dress or maxi dress tailored for petites is perfect, or you can always go for separates if you prefer.
2. Add a colour-coordinated petite jacket or shrug to your outfit to continue the smart theme. It will also give you added layers in case of cold weather
3. To ensure your wedding outfit is as versatile as possible, embellishment will add a touch of glamour to take you from the wedding itself, to the reception, to the wedding party in the evening
4. For the fuller figured wedding guest, choose structured pieces over delicate fabrics. Conservative prints rather than bold prints are more sophisticated

5. The Mother of the Bride is the only person apart from the Bride who can get away with wearing white to the wedding itself - but not top to toe. A white or ivory jacket teamed with a black skirt and coordinating accessories will look great, but ensure you have a good balance of colours. Alternatively a black and white print would be a more floaty softer option. For petite mother of the bride and mother of the groom wedding outfit options, shop the Precis Petite Weddings Collection
6. Think about choosing a wedding hat with a shallower brim at the front which won’t get in the way when exchanging kisses and greeting guests
7. If you don’t want to wear a hat to the wedding, try a feather fascinator in your hair. A feather fascinator will lift your outfit and bring focus to the face, as will pretty earrings and a necklace
8. Finish your petite wedding outfit or dress with matching bag and shoes to complete the look. It is a good idea to colour match accessories but if you don’t want to match your bag opt for a neutral and pretty beaded bag which you will use afterwards
9. Keep handbag items to a minimum, and choose small items, i.e. a travel sewing kit and compact make up. Choose a structured clutch bag matching your outfit and ensure it has a detachable strap so it can go over your shoulder when taking those wedding photos and holding your champagne 10. A removable corsage is the perfect way to customise your wedding outfit or dress up a simple jacket to match
