Spring Wedding Colours and Styles

Spring is about fresh starts and new beginnings, including your wedding guest attire. Opt for light and airy fabrics like chiffon, linen, and cotton to stay cool and comfortable. Pastel colours and floral prints are always a hit in the spring, and we love the look of a light wrap or jacket over a flowy dress. For a more formal vibe, go for a floor-length gown in a light fabric paired with elegant accessories like pearl earrings and a clutch bag. If the wedding is more laid-back, try a midi-length dress or jumpsuit in a bright colour or fun print.

Summer Wedding Outfits

When the temperature rises, you’ll want to stick to breathable fabrics like linen, cotton or a wool-silk blend. Bright colours and bold patterns are always a hit in the summer, so don’t be afraid to make a statement with your outfit. Sundresses, maxi dresses, and jumpsuits are all great options for a summer wedding. A floor-length gown in a lighter fabric is the way to go for a more formal affair. Accessorize with a statement necklace and a clutch bag, and bring a cover-up or bolero jacket for cooler evenings.

Autumn Wedding Looks

As the weather starts to cool down, it’s time to bring out the warmer fabrics and darker colours. Think long sleeves, autumnal tones and lush fabric for a chic autumn wedding look. Rich, warm colours like gold mustard, midnight blue and burnt orange are always a hit, and layering is key for those cooler evenings. Try pairing a cropped jacket with a floor-length gown or a midi-length dress with a tailored occasion coat.

Winter Wedding Styles

When the temperature really starts to drop, it’s time for rich fabrics to take over. Rich jewel colours like ruby red, purple and emerald green are always chic, and metallics and shimmery fabrics add a touch of glam. Think velvet, satin and jacquard fabrics to keep you warm and stylish at a winter wedding.

For a more formal occasion, go for a long-sleeved gown or a jumpsuit in a luxurious fabric. Accessorize with a faux fur jacket or stole. Mixing and matching different pieces and materials allows you to create a fashionable and practical look for any season.

No matter the season, it’s essential to consider the wedding dress code and the weather when choosing your attire. And, of course, stay true to your personal style while still looking appropriate for the occasion.
Happy wedding season!
