Ideas For Wedding Guest Outfits 22: How To Accessorise Your Wedding Guest Outfit

Wedding season is upon us. It’s time to start thinking about what to wear to weddings, and we know it can be hard to find that perfect balance of being dressy without wanting to overshadow the bride. As well, we all know it’s such a struggle with what colour to wear as a guest as you don’t want to blend in with the bridesmaids, but you also definitely don’t want to be wearing the same colour as the bride! That’s why we’ve put together some dresses to wear to a wedding and wedding guest jewellery ideas. Read on to find some wedding outfit ideas and how to style them with jewellery!

Tone down the sparkle.

Diamonds are the perfect way to dress up an outfit but are often the bride’s choice, so try to avoid any statement diamond pieces. Instead, opt for the new: bold and bright pieces. Colourful statement jewellery is very in at the minute and as a bonus, it looks dressy and unique, but not too much so to draw any attention from the bride.

We’ve paired these pieces from Swarovski with a matching pink patterned dress to make the perfect statement look for your wedding guest outfit for any time of the year. Or pair these colourful pieces with a simpler dress to brighten your look.

Let your jewellery do the talking.

If you’re lucky enough to have been invited to numerous weddings this season, you may be looking for ways to save money on wedding outfits for women and avoid buying dresses you’ll only wear once. Our top tip is to opt for simple dresses, jumpsuits or cami and skirt combos that are already in your wardrobe and dress them up with jewellery. Strong statement silver necklaces and bangles can easily transform an outfit and make it wedding-ready.

These pieces from Nomination and Olivia Burton are perfect for making any outfit shine. We’ve paired them with a floral lilac puff-sleeved dress, making the perfect summer wedding outfit, but they’ll work just as well with a darker dress or jumpsuit for the winter season!

Floral themes

For any Spring/Summer weddings you may be considering more of a floral theme. Florals are the perfect addition to your jewellery collection at the moment, meaning you can wear them over and over again all season. Whilst people will often opt for a floral wedding guest dress. We think floral jewellery is a beautiful choice for your wedding guest outfit, not one we see too often!

We decided to pair our Sunflower range with this stunning yellow cowl neck midi dress and some gold heels for the perfect summer wedding guest outfit.

We love this Sunflower range from our Serenity collection!
