Finding Your Summer Wedding Guest Style
Dress Codes for Different Summer Weddings
When selecting a dress for a summer wedding, figuring out the dress code is crucial. For a formal wedding, consider long, elegant gowns or sophisticated midi dresses. Draper James’ Lindsay Shift Midi Dress in crisp linen is an excellent choice for its timeless style and halterneck fit.
For semi-formal or cocktail attire, shorter dresses are appropriate. The Harper Love Circle Dress in dobby stripe offers a playful yet refined look, perfect for semi-formal events.
For casual or beach weddings, lightweight and breathable fabrics are essential. The Opal Midi Dress in linen provides a relaxed yet stylish option, ensuring you stay cool and comfortable (and withstand an ocean breeze).
The Emmaline Shift Dress in ottoman stripe is a perfect example of understated elegance. Its neutral color allows for easy accessorizing with colorful scarves or belts, adding a personal touch to your outfit.
Choosing a Flattering and Comfortable Dress
Comfort is key for summer weddings, especially in the heat. Opt for dresses that flatter your body type and allow for ease of movement. Fit-and-flare and A-line dresses, like the Trisha Handkerchief Dress in seersucker stripe, are universally flattering and provide a breezy feel.
Maxi dresses or wrap dresses are another great option for summer weddings, because they’re light and comfortable for summer weather. The Naomi Wrap Dress is a versatile choice that complements various body types and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Blooming with Summer Brights
Summer is the perfect time to embrace vibrant colors and bold prints. Draper James offers a variety of dresses in bright hues and floral patterns that are sure to make you stand out.
For those who love floral prints, the Alana Tiered Mini Dress in stretch mesh is a must-have. Its playful design and vibrant colors embody the essence of summer. For a crisper, less formal option, the Delilah Midi Dress in crisp cotton offers a polished look featuring a striped summer pattern reminiscent of picnics and breezy fabric.
If you’re not into a fully bright ensemble, make your accessories pop with bold colors and textures like the Statement Gem Earrings or the Beaded Micro Tote. Not to mention, the occasion should garner comfortable heels, such as the Paloma Platform, pumps that elevate your look and add a touch of glamor.
Sophisticated Neutrals for a Timeless Touch
Neutral-colored dresses offer elegance and versatility, making them a timeless choice for summer weddings. Draper James has a selection of classic dresses in neutral tones like cream, navy, and blush that exude sophistication.
The Erin Short Sleeve Dress in clip jacquard features a lively pattern and a flattering silhouette, making it ideal for a summer wedding. Pair it with the Embroidered Clutch for a complete look.
The Lindsay Shift Mini Dress in linen provides a chic and polished look, ideal for both day and evening weddings. Pair it with the Lana Crossbody bag and not your mother’s pearl earrings for a refined ensemble.
