The Tamesis
The slush is melting, hibernation is over, and everyone is rejoicing at the concept of a few rays of sunshine: there’s a lot to celebrate with the arrival of spring. While we’re probably still a few months away (and, depending on where you live, you’re currently fighting an uphill battle with said sludge), anyone with a spring wedding on their calendar should start preparing now. Have you booked your hotel? Have you ordered your gift? What about your outfit? That last one is where we come in – if you’re still browsing wedding guest dress options, we’ve put together five outfit ideas to inspire your ceremony look.
fashion magazine Spring Wedding Guest Attire Guide
For your away appearance, you can choose a classic painterly floral print or pastel colors inspired by seasonal tones. Or, try something bolder and incorporate some rich tones: plum purple and golden mustard yellow, which when created into flowing, ethereal silhouettes can still feel light and perfect for a spring wedding. If your event is held in a venue that’s not too warm to bare arms, opt for long sleeves or throw on silk cashmere as an elegant outer layer, and when in doubt, check the dress code, as a black tie wedding and a backyard wedding have very different looks.
Ahead, five spring wedding guest outfit ideas for your upcoming holiday.
spring flowers
Garden festivals, backyard weddings, dreamy country destinations…no matter where your wedding takes place, you can’t go wrong with floral prints this time of year. Zimmermann’s maxi dress is the perfect choice, paired with muted tones and layers of ruffled silk-blend crepe de chine. Keep jewelry to a minimum and let the pattern shine. These textured studs from Parisian brand Agapée are embellished with green stones and perfectly match the dress.
polished drape
Get inspired by this season’s lush greens in this pretty sage midi dress. It’s toned with Reformation’s slingback pumps, paired with Sophie Buhai’s evening bag and onyx-shaped hair clip, making it a stylish choice for a daytime wedding.
Saturated items
There’s nothing casual about this plum-colored suit from Abadia. With precise draping and luxurious satin fabric, it’s a great choice for formal or cocktail wear. We love pairing it with Staud’s ocher kitten heel mules for a sophisticated urban vibe.
formal affairs
A formal wedding requires at least a floor-length gown. This is your chance to go all out: a pair of classic diamond stud earrings, a silk scarf that can be wrapped in cashmere, a sculptural silver hairpin for a touch of elegance. Wear yours with TWP’s strapless dress, which has a smooth silhouette and is woven with metallic threads for a subtle shimmer.
1970s show
Bohemian mini dress, high heels, oversized gold hoops… if you’re attending a town hall ceremony or a more casual occasion, opt for a short hemline with a vintage feel. Staud’s ginger dress is the perfect floaty dress for dancing the night away.
