WHAT TO WEAR TO A SUMMER WEDDING

Heading to a summer wedding? Here's the style dos and don'ts to keep you on the sartorial straight: 

THE WEDDING GUEST EDIT

Do:

Think pink. It's spring/summer's biggest colour trend and pink has that romantic feel that's perfect for wedding guest attire.

Cover up. If your dress is sleeveless, lower-cut or on the mini-side, invest in a cover up for church. It's respectful and chic.  

Consider flats. Formal flats are now officially a trend, and they're comfy and chic to boot. Look for embellished lace-up styles that have all the glamour of a heel. 

Don't:

Wear white. It might sound obvious, but white and cream hues are for the bride only. I once saw a guest in a white maxi dress at a wedding - I felt offended on behalf of the bride!

Wear black. Unless the dress code is black-tie, black is too sombre for a wedding. If you prefer darker colours, navy is a chic alternative.

Break the bank. If you're tight on a budget, just wear that old faithful dress lurking in the back of your wardrobe. As a nation of consumers, we're hung up on always buying something new - add some pretty accessories to update a existing style and reap the financial benefits.
