THE WRAP DRESS

The coveted wrap dress is flattering, feminine and romantic – a combination that makes for an ideal summer wedding outfit. Have we mentioned that it’s comfortable and lightweight too? Style yours with flats or platforms, or a pair of heels for a more formal affair. Complete the look with a chic handbag and a pair of sunglasses for added sophistication.

BOHO CHIC

Casual weddings call for more understated ensembles – think floaty dresses in soft hues paired with platform wedges in a neutral colour. Add interest with lace detail and a few stylish accessories. For those wanting to make more of a statement, go for bold prints –  tie dye is having a major moment, if you're brave enough.

PASTEL SEPARATES

Dare to be different (and more comfortable too) in a pair of tailored pants. Matching sets are huge this season and the perfect choice for a summer wedding. Choose a flattering high-waisted, wide-legged fit for the trousers and pair with a floaty camisole. And don't shy away from colour – pale pink is a romantic choice perfectly suited to the occasion. Stylish hair clips – try more than one for a trendy take on hair accessories – and a pair of drop earrings will complement the look.

FORMAL FLORALS

Florals are a very feminine choice and when styled with a pair of heels and sophisticated accessories, they can work for even the most formal of celebrations. Daytime weddings call for softer floral prints while evening soirées are the perfect time to introduce darker florals.

ALL BLACK

Elegant, timeless and flattering, you can never go wrong with an all-black ensemble. Lace detail will give your LBD a sexier edge, or ditch the dress and opt for a black jumpsuit instead – a very chic choice, especially when paired with block heels.
