Finding the perfect dress for a wedding — whether you’re walking down the aisle as a bridesmaid or attending as a guest — can be both exciting and overwhelming. With so many styles, colours, and dress codes to consider, it’s easy to get lost in the options. This guide will help you navigate the process with confidence, so you look and feel amazing on the big day.
1. Understand the Wedding Dress Code
Before you start browsing, check the wedding invitation for any clues about the dress code.
-
Black Tie: Think floor-length gowns in luxe fabrics like Mikado or satin. Our Cleo maxi dress in Frozen Blue is a perfect choice, with its elegant boat neck and short sleeves.
-
Formal or Semi-Formal: Opt for midi or ankle-length dresses in refined silhouettes, like our Nyla column dress in Powder Pink for a sleek, modern look.
-
Cocktail: A chic mini dress, such as the Lara with its diamond belt detail, strikes the perfect balance between polished and playful.
2. Choose Colours That Complement the Occasion
Colour plays a big role in setting the tone of your look. While it’s best to avoid white (unless the couple says otherwise), there’s a wide palette of wedding-appropriate hues to explore.
-
Powder Pink: Soft, romantic, and perfect for spring and summer celebrations. Works beautifully for bridesmaids and guests alike.
-
Frozen Blue: Cool, sophisticated, and ideal for all seasons — a flattering choice for both daytime and evening weddings.
Our latest dresses, including the Sabine A-line midi and the oversized Sable midi, now come in these versatile shades to suit a variety of styles.
3. Prioritise Comfort Without Sacrificing Style
Weddings are often all-day events, so comfort is key. Structured fabrics like Mikado offer a polished silhouette while allowing for ease of movement.
If you prefer a relaxed fit, the Sable dress offers an elegant oversized look with diamond detailing at the neckline. For more movement on the dance floor, the Sabine dress features a flattering A-line skirt and a detachable rose cape bow for added charm.
4. Accessorise to Elevate Your Look
Accessories can transform your outfit from ceremony-ready to dance-floor fabulous.
-
Removable bows, such as those on the Sabine (with rose cape bow), can add a touch of drama for photos and be removed for a sleeker evening look.
-
Statement belts, like the diamond-embellished piece on the Lara, can define your waist and bring extra sparkle.
5. Match Your Style to the Venue & Season
A beach wedding calls for lighter colours and breezier silhouettes, while a formal ballroom might demand more structure and detail. For winter weddings, jewel tones or Frozen Blue in heavier fabrics can feel seasonally appropriate.
Whether you’re part of the bridal party or a guest ready to celebrate in style, the right dress will not only complement the wedding’s theme but also make you feel your absolute best.
Our latest collection features timeless silhouettes in Powder Pink and Frozen Blue, crafted from luxurious Mikado for elegance and comfort.
