With the peak wedding season, just around the corner, popular wedding dress codes are making an appearance. Anything from a cocktail to black tie to lavish garden parties, and the only thing to wonder next – what should I wear for this wedding dress code? A few trending dress codes this season include, cosmopolitan cocktail chic, island goddess, white tie, church bells and countryside garden weddings. With a variety of codes it is important to find the perfect dress for each wedding occasion.
With RSVP’s dates filling your calendar, it’s time to look for the perfect seasonal wedding guest dress. You need a dress that is perfect for every wedding occasion, think flowy midi dresses, full length gowns and fabulous cocktail dresses. It is important that your dress not only suits the theme and the dress code of the wedding, but that it is suitable for your personal style and the location of the wedding.
An Oh So Fancy Wedding
You have a fancy black tie wedding coming up – first thoughts; yes, I get to wear a fancy floor length ball gown. Second thought; oh no I don’t have a fancy gown to wear to this occasion. Fancy weddings usually call for a white tie or a black-tie dress code. Both of which are pretty similar – although white tie usually calls for a pair of gloves and an up do look. Black tie still likes a full-length gown but you could also get away with a cocktail dress or a sophisticated jumpsuit. Once you have your gown ready all you need is a pair of heels, some jewellery – think colourful or metallic, and a cute clutch.
Cosmopolitan Cocktail Chic
A city wedding - so chic, so cosmopolitan and so classic. The city wedding is for the couple that loves the hustle of city life – think being surrounded by tall buildings, fast movers and a little bit of attention from fellow city goers. If you have been invited to a chic city wedding it may be held at a hotel, nearby the classic columns of the public city library or around some lavish landmarks. A city wedding is usually a cocktail dress code affair, you need your best cocktail dress, a pair of strappy heels and dainty jewellery.
Island Goddess
Oh, you have sun kissed skin and blonde highlights – what more do you need! Maybe a brightly coloured dress? With some flowy ruffles? The island or beach wedding is for the bride and groom that loves a vacay and is really quite lax – think we don’t really have a dress code – come as you are attire. Note: come as you are, in our vocabulary is all about dressing in your true personal style. Last minute island weddings, micro weddings and beach weddings in destinations such as Hawaii or Mexico usually call for a smart casual dress code – think you, but elevated. So, grab that midi dress and minimalistic jewellery with a crystal headpiece and you will look the part.
Church Bells Ringing
We can hear the church bells ringing – how exciting! A church wedding is classic – think veils and big bouquets and the sounds of bells and church hymns. A church ceremony is usually held during the day or in the early afternoon and the perfect dress for this occasion is a gorgeous pastel coloured midi dress or a floral printed dress. Something that isn’t too revealing is perfect for this type of dress code – cocktail dresses, midi dresses and long dresses are all perfect choices.
Countryside Garden Wedding
And if you aren’t wearing those floral prints to a church wedding, wear them to that garden wedding you have been invited to instead. Any invitation that starts with winery, country, backyard or garden screams floral print dresses and whimsical silhouettes. A wedding in the countryside could even require your dress to be paired with some chic boots – country style is always in. Other pairings include sunglasses and colourful jewellery (and wine, of course!).
