Best Dresses To Wear To A Wedding

Don't forget to RSVP but more pressingly ensure that you have an outfit prepped that is as special as the uniting duo. Whether the bride-to-be has warmed towards a beach destination, is a fiend for traditional rituals or has taken a minimalist approach to tying the knot, find a dress that will match the vibe with our exquisite edit of summer wedding frocks.

##### **Best Dresses To Wear To A Wedding** Where do we begin? With an ocean of gowns and dresses to choose from, it is best to start with the kind of wedding you will be attending. If it is an elegant soiree in a decadent manor house reminiscent of Bridgerton, a floor-sweeping gown would tick off many boxes. Take your styling cue from the period drama and opt for a short sleeve dress to allow for a pair of silk gloves worn above the elbow and don't forget your oversized jewellery - a tiara perhaps? On the other side of the spectrum, you might have a charming marquee or barn wedding venue noted on your invite, in which case something flowy, easy-going in a midi or mini length would work best. Consider the weather when deciding on the length of the sleeve and review the surroundings when determining the heel height. Town Hall or intimate garden celebration is perfect for an unfussy frock that still feels special. Choose a midi length for all-day comfort and play with quirky details such as sequins or feathers to bring a little more personality to a low-key occasion.

##### **Best Spring Wedding Guest Dresses** Spring is in full bloom inviting you to be braver and bolder with your wedding guest dress choices. We are talking vibrant colours such as fuchsia pink, daring violet, deep red and zesty orange. However, we can't rely on the weather to behave as well as you will (maybe) so we would push pause on any open-back or strapless dresses in favour of chic long-sleeve dresses and midi silhouettes that will provide comfort while still delivering a sense of occasion. Many designers have introduced lightweight knit dresses that beautifully hug the body for a polished result minus the goosebumps.

##### **Elegant Floral Dresses for Wedding Guests** Mimic your surroundings and embrace floral dresses. Designers have a particular love for vintage, watercoloured florals and oversized botanical prints but if your taste for florals is on the minimal side, choose mico blooms or delicate floral embroidery instead. Thanks to the nature of flowers, there are plenty of colourways for your to work with. Would be a tropical mix of blooms such as pink, orange and red or are you drawn to the subdued darker tones of woodland flowers like bluebells? With as much variety of floral dresses as nature can offer, you can't go wrong. Once you have settled on the level of foliage, it's time to turn your attention to the fabric and cut. Linen is ideal for hot-weather weddings while a floaty chiffon dress introduces movement and airiness to the occasion.

##### **Best Summer Wedding Guest Dresses** Is your calendar overflowing with wedding RSVPs? Something tells us this year is going to be busier than ever for sartorial occasions which means your wardrobe has to keep up. With the heat rising, it's time to shift your focus to lightweight fabrics and relaxed silhouettes that don't cling to the body but still provide support. Thanks to sunnier weather, you can forgo jackets and jumpers and instead go big with balloon sleeves, cascading tulle and voluminous skirts that can move unrestricted. Summer is the time to be playful so throw caution to the wind and showcase your tan with an open-back gown or a spaghetti-strap dress that reveals just enough. If you were holding back with your colour palette, now is the time to step onto the neon rainbow and slip into a fluorescent green dress (the colour of the season) or head-turning orange. If you want to keep it elegant, and not upstage the bride, play with sweet pastel shades of lilac and sherbert lemon that equally feel fun and refreshing in the sun.

##### **Flowy Wedding Guest Dresses** Flowy dresses are by far one of the most popular categories when it comes to weddings. The free-spirited fabric provides drama and ease while also allowing for layering. Many designers are encouraging you to play with transparency and flowy dresses are an ideal starting point for experimenting. Many sheer flowy gowns reveal and conceal in equal measure, all you need to decide is where you want the focus to be.
