What to Wear to a Wedding: Slay Without Stealing the Spotlight


Alright babe, wedding season is in full swing, and whether you’ve got a countryside “I do,” a chic city bash, or a coastal ceremony on your calendar—one thing’s clear: your dress needs to serve.

We’re not just guests—we’re bringing main character wedding guest energy. So let’s talk looks.


🌿 Countryside Wedding = Soft Girl, but Make it Royalcore

Think Bridgerton meets modern slay. A countryside ceremony calls for something whimsical and breezy—but still polished. Floaty dresses, soft florals, and pastels are always a win.

Style it with: Chunky heels (grass = heel trap), a cute mini handbag, pearl jewellery, and a low bun or big bouncy curls.

Best colours: Dusty rose, lavender, pale green, powder blue.

Style it with: Statement heels, red lip, structured clutch, and a sleek bun or pony.

Best colours: Black, deep red, navy, metallics.

🌊 Seaside Wedding = Coastal Chic

You're in the wind, near the sea, maybe even barefoot—it’s giving relaxed elegance. Keep it lightweight, flowy, and a little flirty.

Style it with: Sandals, glowy skin, gold hoops, and soft waves.

Best colours: Coral, sage, peach, aqua.
