Choosing the Perfect Wedding Guest Outfit For Spring/Summer

2013

Spring is upon us with summer in tow, which can only mean one

thing. It’s officially wedding season, which means it’s time to hit the

shops in search of your perfect attendee attire. Here are some of

our favourite picks of this season’s wedding guest fashion trends

and how to construct the perfect outfit for those special occasions.

The Dress

If a dress is what you are after, you are in luck, as there are plenty

of trends to choose from for all shapes, sizes and styles in that department.

For some effortless elegance, the full length maxi dress is perfect. It can flatter any height and body

shape under its flowing layers, and is available in a multitude of materials and patterns.

For something more sophisticated, the wrap dress is the best of the bunch. Just like the maxi, its

ultra flattering and perfect for accentuating your curves whilst hiding your less than favourite bits. It

can be found in all the season’s on trend patterns, with floral being a favourite this year, as well as

being available in a range of block colours for an understated look.

The Blouse and Skirt/Trousers

If dresses aren’t your thing then have no fear, as blouse and trouser or skirt combinations are

making a well deserved return this season.

Our favourite pick of the trouser department for this season are linen trousers. Opt for a summery

colour such as beige, khaki or white and pair with a statement patterned blouse and blazer for a cool

and stylish wedding ensemble.

When it comes to skirts it’s all about the statement, so opt for something floaty and floral paired

with a neutral blouse and blazer to really make an entrance.

Blouses are as always an old favourite and never fail to make us feel every bit gorgeous. Choose

from this season’s prints, our favourite is the feminine floral, or opt for something simple and stylish

to complete your wedding season outfit.

The Accessories

From head to toe, the accessories are what really make the outfit. Our favourite part of any wedding

outfit is the hat or fascinator. It’s one of the few times you get to go all out and wear something so

beautiful and extravagant.

Our top tip is to buy your outfit before you even look at the accessories, because there is nothing

harder than trying to match an outfit to the colour or style of a hat or shoes you already bought!

Once you have your outfit, look for headwear, shoes and a bag that will best tie in with the style and

colour scheme of your outfit. Take a look at CC’s range of occasion wear for gorgeous colour

matched headwear and handbags.
