Destination Weddings
• Dress for the destination wedding by choosing outfits that reflect the vibe of the location, the season, the climate and the dress code.
• Pack for multiple events such as welcome drinks, the rehearsal dinner, the wedding, and after parties.
• Remember to also pack makeup, accessories, shoes and jewellery to match your outfits.
• Keep in mind the weather and the climate when choosing your outfits, for example, breathable and lightweight styles would suit a warmer climate.
Destination weddings are just around the corner, and people are oh so keen to get out of town and jet set off to an inspiring new location in the name of celebrating love. Whether a couple is deciding to chase summer for their wedding or try out a country town – you need a look (or several!) for all the out of town weddings on the horizon.
It doesn't matter whether you are mother of the bride or groom, or a wedding guest, your wardrobe and suitcase must be jam packed full of glamourous and location appropriate looks to wear. Our edit below will guide you to the best and most suitable looks for every kind of destination wedding.
What is a destination wedding?
A destination wedding is a wedding held in a location that has to be travelled to. A destination wedding can often be held in a different city, countryside or a different country. Popular destination wedding spots include tropical islands, European countries, and wine regions. Destination weddings are often considered as holidays, and therefore take place in popular holiday destinations.
What should I wear to a destination wedding?
A destination wedding guest should consider the destination, the season, the climate and the wedding dress code. For warmer climates opt for breathable and lightweight fabrics such as chiffon.
What should I pack for a destination wedding?
It is important to remember to pack your wedding guest outfit, accessories, makeup and shoes. If the destination wedding is also a holiday then it is also important to pack your holiday outfits and anything else you may need depending on the destination. Often destination weddings will also have other events beyond the wedding, such as welcome drinks, rehearsal dinners, and after parties. This means you may need to bring along more than one outfit for the destination wedding.
The European Extravaganza
If you will be sipping limoncello on the Amalfi Coast you need a chic and fashionable wardrobe for all you wedding events. Embellishments and feather trims are a necessity for your overseas destination wedding – you want to go all out with style and glamour because we all know it will be the party of the year. Dance the night away on the Italian seaside with a fabulous frock and you will steal the show.
The Countryside Escape
A vineyard destination, an outfit that calls for some chic cowboy boots and romantic dinners by the fireplace. This is a country destination wedding. The invitation says the Hunter Valley or Yarra Valley and you need a country chic look that will tick all the boxes. When it comes to a country wedding you can go for a fun print or a more toned-down look with a jumpsuit number. Think lowkey and down to earth, but pieces that can also be dressed up for those who love a little glam.
The Laid Back Island Vacation
Maybe it is Fiji? Or Hamilton Island? Or Hawaii? Either way you are off to a blissful island or beach escape and your wedding wardrobe must be stocked full of free-flowing numbers that can be worn with flats (or bare feet along the sand) and playful prints that contrast against bright island sunsets. Never be afraid to inject a little or a lot of colours packed into your island suitcase. We will give you all the best dresses for a beach wedding below. And when it’s a beach wedding a casual dress can also be always a good idea.
