Wedding Guest Outfits 2018

Wedding Guest Outfits 2018

by Victoria ♥ 3 Comments

I love weddings, partly because I’m a romantic and I love love. However, I don’t know about you, but when that invitation arrives in the post (after the initial yay someone’s getting married and has found the love of their life) one of the thoughts that come in my head is “What am I going to wear?!”. Do you get this too? I hope I’m not the only one.

As someone who pretty much lives in jeans and t-shirts, the lead up to the wedding usually involves about 1 million hours spent on Pinterest looking for outfit inspiration and another million spent looking online for that special something to wear. That’s why I’ve decided to list a few different looks for you below along with links to where you can buy them!

And then after all that time spent looking online I’ll usually order about 4 dresses, send them all back to then realise the first thing I saw was what I was actually going to wear..

Because I recently went to a wedding, last weekend to be exact, I have been on the hunt for outfits which are comfortable in this Summer heat, whilst being pretty and a little different to what you usually see at weddings.

If you’re looking for some initial inspiration for yourself, below is my Pinterest board of wedding guest looks, and here’s the link to my previous post about fashion statements.

You can get all of these outfits from ASOS! (not sponsored, I just love them!)

Here’s a few outfits I think would look great for a more casual wedding:

ASOS DESIGN tea jumpsuit in mixed floral print
Boohoo Strappy Floral Cut Out Jumpsuit
ASOS RED strap midi dress
Glamorous Playsuit With Frill Shorts And Bow Front In Lemon Print
Little Mistress Plus emMissguided Plus Twist Front Polka Dot Dress bellished sleeve maxi dress in navy
ASOS DESIGN Curve mini button through tea dress with tie sleeve

ASOS DESIGN tea jumpsuit in mixed floral print
Boohoo Strappy Floral Cut Out Jumpsuit
Glamorous Playsuit With Frill Shorts And Bow Front In Lemon Print
ASOS RED strap midi dress

I love these because when I think of more casual Summer weddings I think about florals and bright colours, along with flowy soft fabrics that’ll keep you cool.

Here’s a few pieces that I think would look amazing for a smarter wedding:

ASOS DESIGN tailored jacquard wisteria trousers co ord
Lipsy Curve Lace Applique Bodycon Dress
ASOS DESIGN embellished wrap midi dress with flutter sleeve
Chi Chi London Premium Lace Prom Dress with Cutwork Hem
Little Mistress Plus embellished sleeve maxi dress in navy
Unique 21 Slim Leg Trousers Co-Ord

I love the idea of wearing a colourful suit to a wedding, and just in general life to be honest because they can make you feel powerful, confident and sexy. Also clothing with lace, beading, embroidery and other details are good for any wedding or smart occasion in my books!

And if you’re really struggling to find something for a wedding, florals are always a safe option:

Vila Floral Printed Wrap Midi Dress
ASOS DESIGN Smock Midi Dress With Bird And Floral Embroidery
Fashion Union Plus Kimono Wrap Mini Dress
ASOS DESIGN botanical shift dress with fluted sleeves

I’ve noticed that by searching through hundreds of wedding guest outfit pages online that a lot of them are in pastel colours! Now I love pastel colours, and I agree that they look good for weddings, but why aren’t more bright colours recommended online in these pages? Bright colours look good at weddings too and they won’t distract from the bride because they’ll be in a gorgeous wedding dress or suit or whatever!

At the end of the day, wear what you’re comfortable in, whether it’s a dress, jumpsuit or trousers and a blazer, after all you’ll have more fun if you aren’t worrying about how you look!

Hope this gives you some ideas if you’re off to a wedding anytime soon! Love,
