It’s summer and wedding season is upon us. After the initial excitement of hearing that your friends or family are tying the knot, that age-old question pops up: “What am I going to wear?” If you’re nodding along thinking, “That’s me!” then don’t you worry, because Very have occasion wear to have you covered. Literally.
Wedding Guest Outfits for Women
Let’s dive into a little lookbook of wedding guest outfit ideas from Very that won’t just have you looking fabulous, but will also keep you comfy enough to chase after the little ones (if need be) or rock out to the last song of the night without a blister in sight.
Occasion Wear for a Wedding Guest
Monsoon Betsy Tea Dress
First up, we have the Monsoon Betsy Tea Dress. Now, don’t let the name tea dress fool you into thinking this is something you’d only wear to sip Earl Grey in. This dress is a dream! It’s got this gorgeous floral print that’s perfect for any wedding theme, from rustic barn shindigs to sophisticated city venues. The length is just right, hitting you at a graceful point below the knees, which means you can comfortably bend down to adjust a little one’s tie without a second thought. And that v-neckline? Perfect for a necklace that says, “I made an effort,” but still lets you run around after a small child if need be.
Joe Browns Salinas Summer Dress
Next, let’s talk about the Joe Browns Salinas Summer Dress in that stunning pink hue. This one is for those of us who can’t resist adding a pop of color to our wedding guest ensemble. With its unique print and flattering fit. The intricate detailing and vibrant pattern mean you’ll stand out in every photo (in the best way, of course). Pair it with some simple, and you’re good to go. Plus, it’s breathable – a godsend when you’re doing the Macarena for the fifth time in a row and don’t want to look like a tomato in your next Instagram post.
White Stuff Hazel Linen Blend Shirt Dress
Moving along to summer occasion dresses that are a bit different, I present the White Stuff Hazel Linen Blend Shirt Dress. This one’s for my fellow mums who prioritize comfort but still want to turn heads. It’s sophisticated, it’s chic, and that green color is divine – it whispers “stylish” but shouts “comfort.” Plus, linen is like the superhero of fabrics, keeping you cool when the dance floor heats up. And the best part? Pockets! Yes, pockets in a wedding guest dress. Perfect for storing tissues for those emotional wedding speeches or stashing away a few sweets to bribe your kids into one more hour of good behavior.
Occasion wear accessories
No look is complete without the perfect pair of shoes, and I’ve found just the thing – the Toms Diana Natural Sandal. Firstly, can we just take a moment for how stunning these are? They scream summer wedding with their chic and minimalistic look. Plus, Toms are known for their comfort, meaning you can glide across the grass (or dance floor) without a single “Ouch!” Not only will your feet thank you, but so will your style sense.
And to top off our occasion wear attire, we cannot forget a splash of accessory magic with the Joe Browns Paris in Spring Bag in lilac. This bag isn’t just an accessory; it’s a statement. It’s the perfect size to carry your essentials – think lip gloss, phone, and a mini pack of wipes (because kids). Plus, the color is a subtle nod to spring and summer, adding just the right amount of whimsy to your look.
So there we have it, wedding guest outfits that are as ready for a marathon of festivities as it is for a quick change into mum mode. Each of these pieces from Very has something special, blending the need for style with the reality of our busy, sometimes messy, always wonderful lives. Whether it’s a dress that allows you to twirl with your little ones under the fairy lights, shoes that feel like walking on clouds, or that perfect bag that carries all your (and your child’s) essentials, looking fabulous at your next wedding event can be both stunning and sensible.
Let’s be real, finding the woman’s dresses for special occasions can sometimes feel like searching for a unicorn. But with this little lookbook of gems from Very, I hope you feel inspired and a little less stressed about what to wear.
