Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to a wedding as a guest in 2026?

A midi or maxi dress in a bold colour, floral, or jewel tone is the safest wedding-guest choice. Match the formality to the venue: structured satin for a ballroom, flowing chiffon for a garden or beach. Avoid white. This edit is sorted by occasion so you can shop the dress code directly.

Can I wear black to a wedding?

Yes, black is fully acceptable as a wedding guest today, especially for evening, city, and formal weddings. Keep it celebratory rather than funeral-plain with a sequin, satin, or cutout detail and bright accessories. For daytime or beach weddings, a colour or print usually feels more in keeping.

What colours should a wedding guest avoid?

Avoid white, ivory, cream, and champagne so you never compete with the bride, and skip all-black at a bright daytime wedding. Bold jewel tones, florals, pastels, and metallics are all safe and photograph beautifully. Every dress in this edit is chosen to flatter without upstaging.

What should I not wear to a wedding?

Avoid white, ivory, and cream so you do not upstage the bride, and skip anything too casual like denim or beachwear unless the invite says so. Steer clear of overly revealing cuts for religious or formal venues. When unsure, a midi dress in a bold colour is always safe.

What do you wear to a beach or destination wedding?

For a beach or destination wedding, choose a flowing maxi or midi in light chiffon or cotton, in a bright colour or floral print, with flat or block-heel sandals that handle sand. Skip stilettos and heavy fabrics. A boho or slip style keeps you cool and photographs beautifully outdoors.

What dress should I wear to a winter wedding?

For a winter wedding, choose a long-sleeve midi or maxi in a richer fabric like velvet, satin, or a jewel-tone knit, and add tights with heeled boots or closed heels. Darker and metallic shades suit the season. Layer with a wrap or tailored coat for the ceremony.

What is appropriate for a black-tie or formal wedding?

For a black-tie wedding, wear a floor-length gown in satin, sequin, or chiffon, in an elegant colour, with heels and statement jewellery. Formal weddings call for full-length over cocktail styles. Avoid short hemlines and casual fabrics. Our evening and gown styles fit a black-tie dress code.

What do I wear as a wedding guest while pregnant?

For a wedding while pregnant, choose a stretchy wrap, empire-waist, or bodycon dress that grows with the bump and a length you can move in. Soft fabrics and a defined under-bust line keep you comfortable and photo-ready. A wrap style also makes nursing afterward easier.

What jewellery and shoes go with a wedding guest dress?

Pair a wedding-guest dress with heels you can walk and stand in, like a block heel or wedge for grass, and add statement earrings or a fine necklace, not both. Match metallics to your bag. Keep accessories to one focal piece so the dress leads the look.

Do you have plus size wedding guest dresses?

Yes, this wedding-guest edit includes an extensive plus and curvy range across midi, maxi, and bodycon styles, cut to flatter fuller figures with stretch, wrap, and structured fabrics. Filter the collection for your size and shop dress-code-ready options from straight through plus in one place.
