Dresses to wear to a wedding as a guest
Worn for the most special of occasions, wedding guest dresses help set the scene for a picture-perfect celebration. As a traditionally formal event, a dress for wedding ceremonies and receptions can be a formal gown, black tie or as specified by the invitation, also depending on the season. If you’re after a bridal guest dress, avoid matching the bridesmaids’ colour scheme so as not to appear part of the bridal party. Find options for every season in THE ICONIC’s wedding guest dress collection, including curvy dresses.
Winter wedding guest dresses
When it comes to wedding guest gowns for winter weddings, weighty fabrics like velvet, heavy satin or bonded crepe provide comfortable warmth with elegance. Look to deep colours and jewel tones like burgundy, navy and emerald green. Opt for long sleeve dresses for wedding ceremonies held outdoors, layering with a longline coat, shawl or faux-fur stole for dressy outerwear. Boots or closed-toe heels complete the look, while sparkling accessories bring a frosty finish.
Summer wedding guest dresses
A wedding attendee dress needn’t be bulky. Lightweight silk, satin, linen, cotton or chiffon dresses give the comfort of beach dresses for summer weddings, best styled with heeled sandals and dainty jewellery. More casual dresses within the cocktail dresses realm work in warmer months, such as airy midi dresses. Jumpsuits are dancefloor-friendly alternatives to wedding party guest dresses.
Spring and autumn wedding guest dresses
For spring and autumn weddings, asymmetric or one-shoulder designs reign supreme as transeasonal dresses. Earthy colours like rust, yellow and brown are ideal in autumn, with spring calling for pastels and floral dresses.
