Peak wedding season is almost upon us, so it is time to start planning what you will wear to toast the happy couple.
Wedding guest dresses
Simple yet elegant dresses are perfect for a summer wedding. We recommend pastels or floral patterns, but we also encourage bursts of vibrant colours.
When it comes to style, A-line or flared dresses are always timeless, with wrap-around dresses also looking the part. Ideally, choose a neckline that is comfortable and flatters your body shape. Avoid anything too short or revealing for the occasion. Natural, breathable fabrics are always best for hot days, such as cotton or linen, while viscose and chiffon materials can offer a more floaty and bohemian feel.
You can browse all the styles on sites such as //ohelloclothing.com/collections/wedding-guest-dresses to find out which styles and colours you are most drawn to.
Tailored wedding styles
Wedding fashion has advanced over the years, with many women opting for more tailored looks such as structured jumpsuits or trouser suits. With both styles coming in such a range of colours and fabrics, there is so much choice out there for this smart and sophisticated option; what’s more, these can easily be reworn at work or for other social events.
Loose cuts are great for jumpsuits, and an aesthetic print can elevate this look. Meanwhile, suit separates in soft or bold colours teamed with a plain smart top can be very effective. The main consideration when purchasing a tailored wedding look is the length, as you want to ensure the leg length is comfortable and flattering alongside the type of shoe you will be wearing.
Outerwear and accessories
It is sometimes necessary to add a blazer, bolero, or pashmina to your outfit for warmth. Be sure to factor this in when you plan your look, as the last thing you want is to ruin your outfit by covering it up with something that doesn’t complement it.
When it comes to embellishing your outfit, a pretty contrasting purse or clutch can add depth, while a splash of gold or bold-coloured jewellery adds interest.
