The Fashion Team’s Favourite Wedding Guest Dresses

This wedding season, I'm all about standout dresses I can wear on rotation. This one-shoulder lemon dress from Bernadette is a total show-stopper that works just as well for UK ceremonies as it does for destination celebrations. I'd style it with chunky gold jewellery and strappy neutral sandals for a polished finish. I also love navy for a wedding and this Malina dress is the perfect mix of chic and cool. And for something with a playful twist, Sleeper’s oversized bow number is the kind of dress that takes you from the ceremony to the dancefloor with ease.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this Tove dress since I first saw it on the runway last September. It’s the perfect choice for a black-tie wedding – covered up yet sexy and elegant all at once. For something a little more relaxed, this Dissh dress is a brilliant option. I love how versatile it is; a true wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down with a simple switch of accessories, taking you seamlessly from day to night. While some shy away from darker colours for summer weddings, I always find it impossibly chic. This Malina dress, with its subtle nod to the sheer trend, adds just enough drama without stealing the show.

Wedding season is underway and for me, it’s the perfect excuse to dress up. My default is always a block-colour dress – especially in the summer. Timeless, flattering and easy to elevate, it's a foolproof formula. For something with a little extra drama, the ruffled Maticevski dress ticks all the boxes. I love how the sculptural detailing makes a statement without being too much. I’ll team it with delicate gold jewellery to let the dress do the talking. For a destination wedding, this green Mango dress is ideal. The draped detail adds just the right amount of interest, while the breezy shape is perfect for beach celebrations. Finally, for a more low-key registry moment, the Christopher John Rodgers dress is my top pick. It strikes the perfect balance between polished and pared back.

I recently tried on this Reformation dress and loved it – the scarf detail adds such a chic touch and it looks great with raffia accessories. Buttermilk yellow is having such a moment this summer and there are some lovely options around. I think the lace detail on this ASOS dress is so simple and pretty. Finally, pale pink is always a go-to for me; I love the ruched detail of this KITRI style.

I have a European destination wedding coming up, and it feels like the perfect excuse for a colourful statement dress. Reformation always has plenty of incredible options, and I’ve had my eye on the Allura dress for a while – the draped sleeve detailing has a South Asian-inspired feel that I’m naturally drawn to. You typically don’t wear red to Indian weddings, so I’m taking the opportunity to embrace bold colour where I can. Later in the summer, I have a few Indian wedding celebrations and I’ll be trying out this rich, khaki lehenga – it blends regal design with the right modern touches. Finally, this ruffled pink dress is a playful yet polished choice for an outdoor wedding.
