Wedding Guest Dresses

Q: What colour dress should a wedding guest wear?

Use the invitation and venue as your guide. Romantic pink and blue work beautifully for daytime, while jewel-toned green or purple suits an evening celebration. Avoid white and bridal-adjacent creams unless the couple has clearly said those shades are welcome.

Q: Should a wedding guest dress be maxi or cocktail length?

Both can work. A maxi is a gorgeous choice for formal dress codes or evening receptions. Cocktail and midi dresses suit semi-formal weddings beautifully. Check the invitation first, then choose a length that works with the venue and lets you move comfortably.

Q: What should I wear to a beach wedding?

Choose a lightweight dress with movement, such as a floral maxi or breezy halter midi . Flat sandals or block heels are easier on sand than stilettos. Bring a light cardigan layer for the sea breeze and avoid anything with a heavy train.
