Chic and Comfortable: Formal Wedding Guest Dresses
This is a slightly more casual dress code, that means you have a wider variety of wedding guest dress options—so get creative! We’ve seen the tailored pantsuit come back in style in recent years, and it’s here to stay. Even celebs are on the trend, with some wearing a pantsuit to red carpet events and making a statement. with some wearing a pantsuit to red carpet events and making a statement. This look combines sophistication with effortlessness, ensuring you feel super comfortable on the dance floor! If the pantsuit is not your style, opt for a long floaty wedding guest dress with a more relaxed silhouette. Whatever style you choose, remember to compliment your outfit with makeup and hair that suits a more formal look – think soft waves and a red lip.
Stylish Semi Formal Dresses for Day and Evening Weddings
This invite is slightly less formal, giving you the freedom to skip a full-length wedding guest dress! The only guideline is to keep the hemline of the dress around or below the knee. If the wedding is held during the day, opt for light tones, florals and breezy fabrics to suit the occasion! If it’s in the evening, choose dark, formal colours and more structured silhouettes. Have a lovely jumpsuit to wear? Go for it or stick with a chic, knee-length wedding guest dress for a polished look!
Relaxed and Stylish Beach Wedding Guest Dresses
Embrace the gorgeous setting with a lovely dress or cute playsuit! Look for relaxed cuts, a light flowing silhouette and summer colours and prints! The weather can also be unpredictable so keep in mind that it can get windy! Maxi dresses are often more appropriate and safer than short dresses, or go for a playsuit to keep it in place. For shoes, save yourself from stumbling in stilettos and be in the comfort of your favourite pair of sandals.
Romantic Garden Wedding Guest Dresses for Country and Vineyard
Typically held at a farm, vineyard or garden – this invite is perhaps the most picturesque option of all and you’ll be sure to capture some great photos with the beautiful location setting. Think laidback and playful dresses! A dress that you can move around in and also play with the location of the event with soft tones, florals and lace! Boots look great with a ruffled floral midi dress and are safe to walk in on grass plains and uneven surfaces. To spice up your look, add statement earrings and a bold pop of colour to complete your outfit.
Mystery Wedding Location
No idea where you are getting yourself into? Don’t fret. Be sure to map the location of the wedding and do a search on Instagram or anywhere online! You may find photos of previous weddings that have been held at the location. Also, consider the weather and season. You don’t want to be planning a long sleeve gown for a hot summer day. Still unsure? Ask other guests what they’re planning to wear! At least when you get there, you won’t be facing it alone.
Now that you’ve selected what you’re going to wear to the wedding for the dress code. We have gathered our quick final tips on how to be a great wedding guest!
Avoid Wearing White
Don’t wear white or anything close to white like pale blue or ivory. It can be misleading and you want the bride to feel really special on her day. Why wear white when there are so many colours on the colour chart!
Don’t Dress Too Casual
Even if the wedding invitation calls for casual attire, it’s important not to go too far with your outfit. Jeans and t-shirts are never acceptable unless the couple has specifically said they’re hosting a laid-back, denim-friendly wedding. Instead, opt for something a little more polished like khakis or slacks for men, or a simple, elegant dress for women. Remember, you’re still attending a significant event, so show respect to the couple by dressing appropriately.
