Choosing a Colour

When choosing what to wear as a wedding guest, there are a few key points to keep in mind. First and foremost, it's crucial to avoid wearing white, as this colour is traditionally reserved for the bride. Wearing white or any shade that could be mistaken for white in photographs might come across as stepping on the couple's toes.

If possible, it’s also best to steer clear of colours that match the bridal party or the overall wedding colour scheme. This helps avoid any mix-ups and ensures you don't accidentally look like part of the wedding party. The palette of our collection combines versatile hues reflective of the changing seasons. Designed in three bold colours, ice blue, champagne, and espresso, our collection ensures you’ll find the perfect outfit for any wedding on your calendar.

Consider the Season

Whether you're attending a garden party, a beachside ceremony, or a dreamy destination wedding, our spring and summer wedding guest dresses are designed to make you feel elegant and perfectly in tune with the season. Each piece in our collection is a testament to the beauty of these warmer months, allowing you to celebrate love in style while staying comfortable and confident throughout the festivities. 

The season of the wedding plays a significant role in choosing your wedding guest dress. It's essential to consider both the temperature and your comfort level when making your selection. For summer weddings, lightweight and breathable options such as our Cameron dress are ideal, featuring thin spaghetti straps. These choices not only keep you comfortable throughout the celebration but also align with the seasonal aesthetics of the event. However, for cooler months or evening events, our elegant Blake gown, with its long sleeves, offer the perfect touch of added warmth.

Wedding Guest Dress Silhouettes

When it comes to silhouettes, it's important to pick a style that feels like 'you' while fitting the occasion. Keep necklines in mind—you may want to opt for something more modest for a religious ceremony or go for a more daring cut for a modern celebration. Let the dress code on the invitation guide you, whether it’s formal, cocktail, or casual. The goal is to find a silhouette that makes you feel confident and beautiful, celebrating the event respectfully without taking attention from the bride.
