How to Dress for a Wedding in Uruguay
You ever get invited to one of those destination
weddings
? It's always somewhere tropical or exotic, and a wedding in Uruguay is no exception. Tourists come to Uruguay for its beaches, so chances are a wedding in Uruguay will have a relaxed, beach resort feel to it. But whether you're staying at the Four Seasons in Montevideo, or you're in a rented shack on the beach, your best bet is dressing to suit your tastes, your surroundings and the feel of the event, hopefully complimenting the bride's vision of her perfect day.
Step
1
Check the weather for the time of year you will be going, although you'll never have a freezing temperature. The summers can be hot, with heavier winds as you head into the hills.
Step
2
Consider where the wedding is taking place. A wedding on a beach will require a relaxed formal wear, and shoes capable of walking gracefully through sand. If the wedding is in a city, the feel in the big cities is old European, so you could dress with chic European flair, using Italian or Spanish influences like the city around you.
Step
3
If you're still unsure, use your invitation as a guide to dictate your style of dress. Is it a huge gala affair, or a small gathering of close friends? If it's the latter, you might consult the bride for her suggestions.
Step
4
A basic black dress with a fancy shawl or shoulder wrap can get you through almost any occasion. A nice suit and tie for a man. Since you are out of the country, you could consider adding something culturally based to spice things up with the tie or the shawl, but remember that the attention is on the bride, and your clothes should be relatively subtle.
Step
5
Don't forget your bathing suit! And if it's a destination wedding, you'll be there a few days and you should pack a few nice outfits for brunches and rehearsals, as well as bringing beachy "play" clothes.
