Wedding season is back, better than ever, and is now all year round. If you've been invited, one question is as pressing as ever - what are you going to wear?
Whether you're attending with just your nearest and dearest in their back garden or going abroad for a fairytale wedding, one thing’s for certain - there are festivities to be had and the perfect outfit needs to be purchased.
If you’re anything like us, over the past few weeks, there has been a seemingly never-ending flow of engagements that have started filling up our previously vacant diaries. Weddings are back with aplomb and the mini sartorial panic is real as you search frantically in your full-to-the-brim wardrobe with nothing to wear.
Wedding guest dressing is an art. It gives us all the perfect opportunity to dress up to the nines in a number that's at once comfortable enough to dance in, whilst making you look your best so you can treasure the photos for years to come as well as feeling confident as you reunite with old friends.
There’s also the possibility of a wedding-triggered romance - but it goes without saying that you can’t upstage the bride herself. Dress code, time of year and location are all worth considering, along with musing over the wedding guestwear taboo of wearing white.
We have gathered our favourite party dresses to help you nail your wedding guest woes.
