The move toward spring and summer signals the start of wedding season. The dates you’ve marked in your calendar for the last six months are getting closer, and so is the need for a great outfit. Whatever your role in the big day - all-day guest, mother-of-the-bride, plus one, or the evening do - our Wedding Guest Edit has an outfit solution for every invite, so all you need to worry about is the gift.

ALL DAY GUEST

For the coveted all-day guest invite, you need an outfit that makes you look and feel great while standing up to the test of ceremony to reception, sit-down dinner to dancing.

Enjoy a summer wedding-appropriate dose of color from our Lace Ruffle Maxi Dress in Papaya Orange. The cotton-blend guipure lace has a heavyweight feel so it holds its structure, while still remaining breathable. A tonal mini lining creates coverage through the body while offering a semi-sheer look across the puff sleeves and skirt, then crystal-embellished press-stud buttons add a final flourish. 

Consider the suit of event season, our Mint Sorbet three-piece, as an alternative to dresses. We’ve chosen a Portuguese tailoring fabric that has the perfect balance of softness and structure, which is the key when it comes to all-day polished tailoring. The full look includes our Sharp Shoulder Blazer and classic Tailored Waistcoat, and the choice between three pant cuts, cigarette, boyfriend and slim crop, so you can find the most flattering shape for your body type. An added bonus, each pair comes in a choice of leg lengths to truly personalise the fit. 

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

A high-pressure role which requires a hard-working outfit, but that’s not to say you have to stick to blend-into-the-background beige. Choose a fresh yet muted palette like soft green and yellow for a contemporary look, that doubles up as an oasis of calm against the noise of the big day. 

In a spring-ready palette of soft greens and yellows, this Full-Length Dress + Tie is crafted in naturally breathable silk that has a lightweight georgette-like overlay that’s more resistant to creasing than traditional silk fabrics - ideal for a day of standing, sitting and dancing. Elasticated cuffs allow for a customizable sleeve length and a detachable tie gives a final personalised twist. Drape the color-matched Dogtooth Short Sleeve Jacket over the shoulders if you want an extra layer in case the forecast doesn’t hold up.

DESTINATION WEDDING

A destination wedding normally means sunny skies and heat, so match the energy of the occasion with an eyecatching color and an intelligently chosen fabric.

If it’s a more relaxed ceremony that calls for polished style with a holiday-ready undertone, then our Intense Orange Shirtdress fits the bill. The intelligent blend of viscose and cotton achieves a lightweight, crisp texture of poplin with the added breathability of natural fibers. Choose the depth of the neckline and the fit of the waist thanks to the zipped front and drawstring ties. 

Perhaps you’ve got to navigate the tricky dress code of black tie abroad, in which case, we’ve got the solution. The Silk Full-Length Dress + Tie in Papaya Orange balances the requirements of a formal event, with the needs of a hot climate thanks to its flowing silhouette and naturally breathable fabric. Elasticated cuffs give a choice of sleeve length and the optional tie can be draped a relaxed look, or looped into a voluminous bow.

BEACHY CEREMONY

The flattering shape + gauzy fabric of our cheesecloth and woven styles make the perfect complement to bare feet in the sand and a warm salty breeze. 

Cotton cheesecloth is an undisputed hot weather hero and this season we’ve given it the event-ready treatment with styles such as this Cloud Chambray Blue Shirred Maxi Dress. The elasticated fitted bodice has a zip neckline for customizable coverage, while loose sleeves and a banded voluminous skirt give a relaxed, flowy look. 

Another blue icon, this Provence Blue Maxi Dress comes in breathable cotton with a voluminous swing silhouette enhanced with puff sleeves and banded panels. The crisp fabric has a floral jacquard pattern for added dimension and the open neckline adds flattering shape to the decolletage.  

PLUS ONE

One of this season’s key eventwear color stories is green, and all our shades are carefully chosen to work together to make easy work of building a tonal look. Start with the new colorway of our bestselling Tulle Maxi Skirt in Mint Sorbet and Event-Ready Green, pairing effortlessly with our Sharp Shoulder Blazer and Shrunken Baby Tee, knitted from merino, cashmere and silk.

EVENING PARTY ONLY

An invite to the evening do means one thing, it’s time to party. The formalities of the day are over and it’s time to let your hair down, so what better occasion to showcase a bold + bright look.

A fresh color and short length makes our Lace Ruffle Dress a great choice for the evening party. It’s crafted from cotton-blend guipure lace that holds its structure and features a smart point collar and sleeve cuff.

If you prefer more coverage but still want the statement of a saturated shade, look no further than our Event-Ready Green Jumpsuit. The fluid silk is cleverly shaped with slightly structured shoulders and ruching around the bust and waist, creating a fitted bodice that complements the ultra wide-leg pants. 

Perhaps wear-again functionality is at the forefront of your mind when it comes to choosing occasion looks. If so, a top and tailored pants is the solution to the wear-again promise. Choosing pieces in the same shade like our Silk Halterneck Blouse + Pleat Front Pant in Iris creates a statement for the event, but also allows the versatility to mix and match with more neutral pieces on other occasions. An added bonus, these pants come in multiple lengths so you can find the right fit.
