Okay bestie, wedding season is HERE and your calendar’s looking real full. Whether it's your cousin’s boujee church ceremony, your uni mate’s garden elopement, or a coastal “let’s all be barefoot” type of situation—you need a dress that serves, but doesn’t steal the bride’s thunder (obvs).

We’re talking slay-worthy dresses that give ✨guest of the year✨ energy. Let’s break it down by vibe:

🌸 Garden Wedding = Soft Girl Era

Think romantic, dreamy, and picnic-in-the-park-core—just elevated. Garden weddings are made for floaty fabrics, pastel tones, subtle florals, and twirl-friendly skirts. It’s giving cottagecore with a side of glam.

Serve it with: Wedges (don’t sink into the grass babe), a woven clutch, dainty layered jewellery, and soft curls or a half-up moment.

Best colours: Sage green, baby blue, pink floral, champagne.

🖤 City Wedding = Sleek, Chic, It-Girl Vibes

If you're heading to a city wedding, now’s the time to channel your inner mob wife, cocktail queen, or rich auntie. Think bold colours, sleek shapes, and that one dress that hugs you just right.

Serve it with: A slick bun, sharp eyeliner, red lip, statement heels, and a lil clutch that fits just your phone and lip gloss.

Best colours: Black (yes it’s fine!), ruby red, navy, emerald, deep plum.

🌊 Beach Wedding = Effortless but HOT

Tbh, beach weddings are a vibe. But sand + wind + heels? Not the move. You want something breathable, lightweight, and beach-babe approved. Think slip dresses, tie-up detailing, and flowy fits that catch the ocean breeze just right.

Serve it with: Beachy waves, gold bangles, glowy skin, and cute sandals or no shoes at all. Bonus points for shell details.

Best colours: White (JK don’t do it), but yes to beige, coral, sage, powder blue.

⛪️ Church Wedding = Classy, Covered, Still a Serve

Respect the location, but still slay. For more traditional ceremonies, keep it classy. Think longer hemlines, higher necklines, and maybe bring a lil blazer or shawl if your dress shows a bit of shoulder.

Serve it with: Simple heels, a sleek low pony, neutral makeup, and minimal gold jewellery.

Best colours: Burgundy, navy, soft pinks, forest green, chocolate brown.

🚨 Wedding Guest DOs & DON'Ts (read this before you buy)

DO:

✔️ Stick to the dress code (if it says cocktail, it doesn’t mean clubwear)

✔️ Wear shoes you can actually dance in

✔️ Check the weather before locking in the look

✔️ Bring a small bag with the essentials: lip gloss, mini perfume, tissues (you’ll cry)

✔️ Be comfortable—this ain’t a red carpet

DON’T:

✖️ Wear white. Ever. Not even cream.

✖️ Go full club dress unless the invite says "Vegas elopement"

✖️ Show too much. A little is cute. A lot is… too much for Grandma Jean.

✖️ Forget sunnies + SPF for daytime outdoor weddings

✖️ Try a new outfit 10 mins before—you need a test run, always
