Wedding season is truly here. We are so excited to see what the guests and brides decide to come out with! That said, if you are a guest yourself it can be difficult to find the ‘one’ dress that makes you feel beautiful, especially when there are so many unwritten rules when it comes to being a wedding guest. I mean, one of the more obvious rules being don’t wear white (which is kinda obvious) but then there are the rules such as don’t wear blue, as that traditionally is the bridesmaids colour, or don’t wear anything too revealing that takes away from the bride’s appearance.
That being said, we have a great list of wedding guest attire ideas you can steal from to make your decision-making that much easier! Come along, and read our latest blog about how to dress the best as a wedding guest, without taking any attention away from the bride!
Black Midi Dress
What’s one of the ‘safest’ colours to wear as a wedding guest I hear you ask? Black. Black will always be so timeless and classy, especially if you are attending a wedding in the winter, or one that requires your partner to dress in a black tie. A black midi dress with some kind of detailing to be more specific is ideal for a wedding because they can look so elegant yet classy at the same time. So, if you are looking for a good midi dress option, be sure to go with a black colour, perhaps with some lace or embellished detailing to add a pop of wow factor.
Pink Satin Dress
Now, if you are attending a summer wedding, you have to go with the theme and add a pop of colour to your dress. If you don’t want anything too busy, such as floral, we’ve got a great option for you. Picture this, a pink dress being shined down on a summer’s day, reflecting the sun’s gaze with a glazed satin texture. A pink stain dress is one you can never go wrong with. It looks great in maxi form especially so the ridges and curves can elegantly drape your silhouette. Not to mention the colour compliments all skin tones.
Ballerina Skirt Dress
Moving onto something a little bit more unique, the coquette style has come back into the fashion scene. The known ‘ballerina’ skirt dress is one we are so in awe of and they also look great for more contemporary weddings. Be sure to opt for a ballerina dress style that is not too eccentric and is more toned down. With a square neck top half, and a long bottom half just stopping above a pair of satin heels look astonishingly beautiful.
Slinky Jumpsuit
Not in the mood to wear a dress, that’s okay because you don’t need to! Jumpsuits are a great alternative for those looking to move around more freely and have something that complements the long frame of their legs. Although a mini dress achieves this, they aren’t necessarily welcomed at all weddings due to the excessive exposure of skin, so instead the jumpsuit shows off the leg without truly showing off anything. Opt for a ‘slinky; material that hugs your shapes and curves, and perhaps opt for a tonal green shade to pop the colour more.
Halterneck Dress
Looking for a dress that compliments your neckline nicely? The halterneck will do just this. With a stunning halter neck midi dress, you can elevate your outfit with a statement necklace to take up the space on your chest. You can go simple with a halterneck dress with shades of blue, red or brown, in a soft buttery material such as cotton or tencel. Accessorise with a necklace featuring a notable pendant, and some dangling earrings with a matching detailed purse.
Bottom Line
Overall, being the best-dressed wedding guest is not a crime, but it is possible if you follow the unwritten rules of wedding guest dressing and take some inspiration from the outfit pieces mentioned. Wedding guest dresses offer endless options, but be sure to opt for the look that makes you feel your best.
