Wedding guest dress styles you need to know

The time of year for tying the knot has come back around again, and the hunt for the go-to dress for the season has begun. When deciding what to wear as a wedding guest there is one rule that everyone must follow: don't wear white! But what about if you still need some extra help when choosing what to wear? We have the ultimate go-to dress silhouette list whatever the weather, climate, and formality. With timeless styles that will see you year after year, our selection of wedding guest dresses will also be helping you do your bit for the planet. 

Boho Styles

Think summer barn reception, beach wedding, or countryside retreat, a boho style dress pairs perfectly. With its flowy handkerchief hems, flowing sheer chiffon and ruffled edges this is the ideal silhouette for a romantic rustic venue. This style of dress is also ideal for the warmer weather, with its lightweight fabrics and airy style it will keep you cool while also being covered. In ditsy prints and popular colors such as oranges and yellows, is a great way to tie in the surroundings with your dress.  

Wrap Dresses

A timeless classic that will never let you down is the wrap dress. Whether you opt for a faux wrap or one that requires tying, you can guarantee the wrap dress will flatter every shape. The wrap style falls on the smallest part of the body and so draws the eye to the tied detail creating an hourglass shape. Available in mini, midi, and maxi lengths, a wrap-style dress is one of the most easily accessible dresses on the market. From bright florals, shiny satins, and bold color blocking you'll find the perfect wrap dress for any wedding venue. 

Chiffon Fabrics

Weddings are one of the most romantic days of someone's life, and so why not attend their special day in an equally romantic fabric? Chiffon fabrics are known for their airy, floaty, and lightweight feel. A classic fabric choice for bridesmaids and the wedding party, a chiffon bridesmaid dresses is ideal for formal weddings, countryside venues, and manor house receptions. Although this is a great choice for a wedding guest, be careful not to go for a dress that is also the color palette of the wedding or wedding party, to avoid looking like an extra bridesmaid! 

High necklines

High-neck-line tea dresses are a great option if you’re looking for stunning wedding guest dresses that can see you from the start to the end of the season. When choosing a high neckline dress you are spoilt for choice, with options ranging from long sleeves and maxi lengths, to mini styles and cutouts. Perfect to wear for a cooler Spring wedding climate with long sleeves and a maxi length, or suited for a summer wedding with sandal heels with a cutout silhouette. We love a long sleeve maxi dress with a back or rib cut out to add extra detail to a formal dress.
