Dress Code
Each wedding is different in its own way, the theme and story of each wedding is a tangible retelling of the couple's love story. Keeping this in mind, each wedding will have a specific dress code - even if it's not specified on the RSVP card. Most wedding venues will correlate to the dress code, so if you find yourself confused as to what to wear try and consider the venue for inspiration. For example, for a garden wedding the dress code will likely be more dressy casual, to fit the brief opt for an airy fabric, a slip style dress or even a jumpsuit. No matter the venue, a style that suits you and makes you feel beautiful is absolutely the best choice.
What does garden party attire mean for a spring wedding?
Garden party attire is formal yet fun. Think romantic floral print dresses, pastel colours and chic midi length styles. Accessorise with heeled wedges or kitten heels, floral inspired jewellery and a sophisticated clutch.
What does black tie optional mean for a spring wedding?
Black tie optional for a spring time wedding means that guests can either opt for full length formal dresses or midi length dresses. Men can wear a tuxedo or a dark suit.
Textures! Metallics, Lace, Sequins
Once you’ve confirmed the dress code it's time to start considering what textures, prints and colours to adorn for a spring wedding. Despite Miranda Priestley's famous disdain for florals in spring ("Florals? For spring? Ground breaking"), florals are a tried and true pattern for the springtime, and at a wedding they can add charm and elegance to your outfit. Spring is all about embracing colourful hues, textures and patterns so don't be afraid to take advantage of the seasonal benefits. For an edgier, modern look consider a metallic dress, beads or sequins for an eye catching factor. If it's closer to summer or the weather is expected to be warm, pay attention to the fabrics, looking for a flowy chiffon, or loose fitting gown will be sure to keep you cool.
Can I wear floral prints to a spring wedding?
Yes! Floral prints are perfect for a spring weddings, especially for a spring time garden wedding.
Silhouettes & Details
So then what about silhouettes or details? In the springtime details like ruffles, rosettes and layers are very fitting and can add additional charm to your look. However, the expectations of wedding guest attire are evolving every year, so feel free to go for something out of the ordinary. A bold shoulder ruffle, or an asymmetrical detail is an excellent way to elevate a classic silhouette to bring a bit of individuality to your look.
