Finding the perfect dresses for wedding guests can be a fashion minefield. It’s important to look classy and stylish but not too well dressed, as you don’t want to detract attention from the bride. If you’re stuck for ideas for a summer wedding, here are some top tips:
Length
The length of dresses for wedding guests should never be more than three inches above the knee. The recent midi dress trend is perfect for weddings, as it’s both demure and sophisticated. Midi dresses in floaty fabrics that are either layered or pleated will work well at summer weddings. If midi dresses aren’t your style, opt for knee length dresses in chiffon or even maxi dresses. The latter are incredibly versatile as they work equally well at a beach wedding abroad and one in the UK countryside. But if you’re petite, remember to wear heels with any maxi dress to prevent it from swamping your figure.
Colour
When choosing the colour of any dresses for wedding guests it is best to check with a member of the wedding party, or even the bride. She may want you to match the colours she has chosen for her big day. But if there are no rules on what colours you can wear, always remember never wear white! This colour should be saved for the bride and should never be worn unless she has specifically asked you to. On-trend colours for Spring/Summer are inspired by the ocean so opt for teal, coral or any shade of blue from glacier to navy.
Style
This applies to both the style of the wedding and the style of dress you choose as the wedding will ultimately influence your choice. Dresses for wedding guests will be influenced by the location of a wedding. Think about where you will be spending the day, whether it is in a country house or on a secluded beach, as it’s important that you are comfortable. Also think about the weather as if it’s a wedding in the UK, but you’re going to be outside, you will need to be practical about warmth… even in the summer!
As long as you remember these main points when buying dresses for wedding guests you can’t go far wrong!
