Spring/Summer Wedding Attire

9 May 2014

Wedding season is nearly upon us!

Here is a quick guide of outfit ideas for your loved ones special day.

Mother of :

For the mother of the bride or groom you’re going to be in focus (through a lens quite literally) most of the day. A wedding of your son or daughter is the bringing together of families: your own and the joining of another. Therefore you will want to dress to impress!

To be sophisticated but not overly formal keep your dress/skirt calf length.

Berkertex £120, Very

Depending on the colour scheme of your loved ones wedding, a light monochrome mix is always safe.

Kardashian Kollection £70.00 Very

Or a pastel colour is very suitable as it comes into the spring summer time.

 

Definitions £69.00, Very

A long length looks very formal, but a calf length is more fitting for spring/summer season.

If you chose a long dress try to keep the colours soft as dark will look too much like evening wear.

 

Female relation -30 - sister, cousin, step sister:

If the sister of the bride you might have the luck of being a brides maid which will mean the stress of picking an appropriate dress isn’t yours to burden!

If not, don’t fret!

The key if you've still got some youth left in you is to pick something formal yet playful. A skater dress in a light colour.

 

Little Mistress £60.00, Very

Or if you want to be daring (with permission of the bride of course) colour blocking is a trend that comes along very spring/summer

Definitions £49.00, Very

This pale pink number is fun and young. With a killer heel or summer sandal it can be dressed up to formal yet fun attire.

Older Female Relation:

A more conservative look,

A calf length skirt or dress would be appropriate.

Savior £39.00, Very

This pattern is formal and the pleats are on trend for spring/summer.

A skirt suit and hat combination would also work, add in a pretty pattern so it doesn’t look so corporate and keep the colours light.

Bekertex £99.00, Very

Other family/friend or +1

A simple formal dress that fits with the feel of the day. Most cuts and lengths will be acceptable, its personal choice and depends on the day arranged.

For choice of colour: neutral or pastel. Unless the wedding has a theme colour then try to stick to a colour that is close too or mixes well.
