The wedding season’s in full swing and it’s okay if you have half-a-dozen weddings to attend over the next three weeks but don’t know what to wear. You’re not alone. We all have those moments when we stare at our overflowing closets and think, I have nothing to wear!€
Wedding guest dresses call for elegance. It’s THE occasion to flaunt your dresses, diamonds, hats, bags, and shoes with full flair. If you’re tired of repeating your looks and want to try something new, take a cue from these celebrity wedding guest trends that are timeless and full of panache.
The Classic Look
Take a leaf out of the Kate Middleton look-book. A wedding regular, the Duchess of Cambridge does know how to carry the classic wedding guest look. Pair a plaid coat-dress with a modern, wide-rimmed pillbox hat or a loop trim saucer headpiece. Bring out the matching clutch and bag and you’re all set to rock an effortlessly elegant attire. You can either wear your hair loose or tie in a low bun. Add a pair of pearl droplets if you wish.
The Evening Look
Get inspired by Jessica Hart and opt for a floor-length evening gown in a solid colour. Throw on a chic beaded bolero jacket for that added edge without stealing focus from the dress and add a slim, embellished sash to complete the look. Play up your hairۥ goes for a relaxed chignon complete with bobby pins, or lend some drama to the attire with a side fishtail braid. Skip the jewellery and seal the look with a quirky clutch.
The Bohemian Look
Embrace the carefree spirit in you with a boho-chic look. Bohemian weddings are usually held at the beach or in the summer, so bring out the pastels and prints and get creative. Take a fashion cue from Sienna Miller at Poppy Delevingne’s Moroccan wedding, where she rocked an off-shoulder dress with lace embellishments. Boho means floral, so don’t forget to add a dash of flower power to your attire€• go for either a floral headband or adorn your plait with some fresh flowers, adding romance and softness to the look. Optionally, you can also give yourself a floral bracelet to top off the bohemian look. Just make sure to stick to a simple colour palette.
The Ultra-Feminine Look
Though you run the risk of looking like a bridesmaid, there’s nothing that can replace a long, flowing gown when it comes to an ultra-feminine look. Pick a soft, autumn hue and play with the necklines€• take your pick from off-shoulder, halter neck, one-shoulder and many more styles. If you opt for a bare neckline, stick to a simple hairdo and dainty earrings. It’s time to let your cocktail dresses take the backseat and bring out the fairytale princess in you.
You can also take some style inspiration from the Singapore fashion week, where feminine off shoulder or one-shoulder sequined gowns in silk have been ruling the runway. Surely, nobody wants to upstage the bride, but putting together wedding guest looks can be a fun experience. Try these elegant and eye-catching looks and make every wedding you attend memorably!
