Dress Code: Garden Wedding
• Take inspiration from your surroundings with floral prints, beaded details, and nature-inspired accessories.
• Pink can add a playful contrast against the green backdrop at a garden wedding.
• Midi length dresses are ideal to offer comfort and elegance for an outdoor wedding.
It’s spring and with spring comes garden wedding season, and with garden wedding season comes the garden dress code. The garden dress code is one that consists of bold colours, summer brights and perfect details that scream femininity, floral and dream-like. When we think of a garden we think of lush green surroundings, soft curving tulips and bright blue skies.
If you have a garden wedding to RSVP to but are yet to find a look, then you must prepare yourself for some options that are oh so eye catching and will look perfect amongst the fan filled, champagne towered, hydrangea lined garden wedding that you have right around the corner.
Match Your Surroundings
A garden wedding is the perfect time to incorporate the surroundings into your look. A hand beaded gown with delicate floral patterns complements the spring garden wedding dress code. The floral detailing captures the feel of an outdoor wedding, with the beading seamlessly transforming the dress from daytime into the reception. Matching with your floral surroundings is a great option for a summer garden wedding - think hydrangeas and daises when looking for statement earrings.
Sleeved Elegance
Garden wedding dresses with sleeves are the perfect transeasonal choice, balancing style and practicality as the weather changes. Light, sheer sleeves in chiffon or lace offer coverage without feeling heavy during warmer months. For a modern twist, consider a bold pop of colour—such as a striking sapphire hue—for a fresh alternative to traditional tones at your next spring garden wedding.
Pretty In Pink
A bold pink is always fun and playful and it is the perfect colour for a garden wedding as it will contrast brilliantly against lush green gardens and a blue painted sky. To us pink is a neutral, it will never go out of style and it can always be worn in many different ways. If you would just prefer a pop of pink, look for a dress with hints of pink in the embellishments or try pairing a red earring with a bright pink dress for the ultimate summer colour combo.
The Ideal Silhouette: A Midi
A midi length dress is the perfect balance between casual comfort and refined elegance for a garden wedding guest outfit. Falling just below the knee or mid-calf, this silhouette is practical for walking on grass while still looking polished. From seasonal prints to fun spring polka dot midi dresses, have fun with your wedding guest look. Swap out your stilettos for wedges or sandals to ensure comfort all day long.
