Pure Glamour
If the wedding reception you are attending begs for glamour and elegance and is taking place in the evening, go for a safe but chic option. The mix and match of silver and red works wonders! An attractive dress that enhances your body shape is an assertive choice. Pair it with red accessories, but don’t overdo it. Ruby earrings or rings designed with white gold and diamonds are eye-catching elements to add to your attire. You can team the elegant dress with red heels or clutch. Finalise the look with a neat bun and red lips to grab all the attention of the night, after the bride obviously!

Urban Chic

1. Watch: Omega;
2. Hat: Paule Ka;
3. Trousers: Next;

5. Bag: Bulgari;

For a day wedding or even a beach celebration you must wear a hat! It’s not a rule, however, who wouldn’t want to? You can team it with flowing or bodycon dresses. If you’re tired of the same kinds of gowns, swap them for elegant, tailored trousers for a change. Avoid black and opt for contrasting hues. White and royal blue is a stunning combination. To complement and balance theses hues, add a third shade like this pinkish tone. The draping detail and texture of the top makes a big difference to the look.

Playful Charm

The wedding is not really sophisticated or you are not one of the guests of honour, choose a knee-length number. A different colour or design will make all the difference here. This coral pick can be worn during day time or evening receptions. Just avoid pairing it with black accessories, it gives a heavy final effect (actually, avoid black at weddings in general). You can go for gold or be a bit more creative and style it with white and greyish hues. The idea here is to play safe, keeping a quirky mood. Wear a fascinator to add charm and funkiness to the outfit.
