Guys have it easy, right?
They get an invite in the letter box for a wedding and all they have to do is make sure they’ve remembered to dry clean their suit and iron their shirt. Of course, there are the occasions that call for a tux, the option of going for a mix and match look, or the choice of navy, grey, black or blue (or maybe green or burgundy if they’re feeling adventurous!). Oh and I do love a guy in a shorts suit.
Okay, so I guess guys do have some choices to make when it comes to wedding guest attire!
But for us ladies, the options are endless.
Dresses or jumpsuits, block colours or patterns, heels or flats, and of course the potential faux pas of turning up in something similar to another guest, the bridesmaids, or worse still, the bride herself. (The horror!). And that’s before you consider the dress code, setting, or style of the wedding.
But around here, we like to keep things simple. So we’ve trawled the internet (so you don’t have to!) to bring you 30 gorgeous wedding guest outfit ideas, with something for every style, and every occasion.
From cool satin co-ords that give just enough polish to your laid-back every day look, to gorgeous velvet dresses light enough to work for summer but luxe enough to rewear in winter too, classic monochrome minis to fun eclectic maxis – these picks are stylish, gorgeous and versatile.
Now that’s your wedding season wardrobe sorted – don’t forget to send us a thank you card!
