6 Wedding Guest Trends Everyone Will Be Wearing This Summer

My ideas about wedding guest attire have gone largely wrong. I still get nervous remembering them, but such is life. At one wedding, I wore a dress that definitely fit more American standards of wedding guest attire than British (it was my first UK wedding, long before I moved here, and I wasn’t aware of it). Second, I showed up in the exact same color and material as the bridesmaids and tried to keep my coat on the entire night. I also sent dresses overnight in a panic and I wore black even though it was not well accepted as a wedding guest color.

As I’ve written before, I’m also not a fan of dresses and often look for more interesting, alternative wedding guest outfits. Overall, you are facing a complete disaster. Fortunately, these have been extraordinary lessons learned. Now I’m a big proponent of finding the perfect wedding guest outfit and planning it early.

When you have an idea of wedding guest clothing trends and what the most fashionable people gravitate towards, it’s easy to find a fail-proof option that will make you feel incredibly attractive at a wedding. This summer, there’s a diverse mix. Once you’re aware of the dress code, location, theme, and colors (to wear or not to wear), you can plan and take inspiration from following trends and outfits. They all seem to have one thing in common – providing the right level of energy that definitely stands out without overpowering the couple.
