It’s not just the bridal party who obsesses over matters sartorial. These are our favourite failsafe outfits for guests as we approach wedding season.
We’ve all known the panic a week before a wedding when, rummaging through the wardrobe, it feels like there is not a scrap contained within it to wear. Then there is perennial question of what is appropriate to wear to a wedding as a guest? What is wedding guest casual? Perhaps there is a dress code on the invitation? Despite the last-minute anxiety, there is almost always something lurking and long forgotten that will fit the bill. But if you are looking for a fresh addition to your summer wardrobe that would also come in handy for the season’s weddings, we’ve pulled together some of the prettiest ideas.
This dress worn with these pretty shoes would be perfect for a spring/summer wedding. Throw over a black jacket for when it gets chilly.
Eye-catching yet comfortable – and even possible to repurpose for the beach – this geometric look is a head-turner.
Anthropologie’s Somerset Maxi dresses are some of the most flattering frocks on the high street. This one conjures up heady high summer vibes and is perfect for a warm weather wedding.
We love this laidback look. The romance of the super-flattering dress works perfectly with simple accessories. One to wear to a wedding – and then again and again through summer.
We are huge fans of dress renting, allowing us to wear a seriously special dress for a fraction of the price. This Self Portrait sparkly number will look perfect at a smart city wedding.
This is a super-luxe look and we love it! Go bold with this striking gold dress and wow-factor accessories.
We are big fans of green, a surprisingly flattering colour. This outfit is perfect for a fresh yet jewel-like look.
