Can wedding guests wear a gown?
Wedding guests can absolutely wear gowns — especially formal or black-tie wedding guest dresses. For less conventional weddings, opt for a sleek, understated design that balances classic elegance with charm.

Is a gown considered formal?
Yes! A gown is the epitome of formal attire. Formal gowns are what you wear when you want to turn heads, own the room and let your unique style shine. Think gala events, black-tie weddings and red carpets.
