If you have been invited to a wedding, one of the first thoughts that surely crossed your mind was: What am I going to wear? Looking for a wedding guest dress should be a pleasant experience. There’s no need to stress; you’re not the one getting married, after all. Even so, there is etiquette to be followed. One of the key rules is quite obvious: never wear white. White is for the bride.

Now, what wedding guests tend to forget is that the bride isn’t the only person from whom they should avoid stealing the thunder, so to speak. Here are five suggestions of how to look splendid at a wedding while letting the bridesmaids shine too:

Pink Lace Bodice and Satin Skirt Midi Dress (£80.00)

This is a wonderful satin high-low loose skirt with leg split – it screams fluidity, but what makes this dress really dynamic is the contrast of the satin skirt with the scalloped shaped lace bodice. This feminine gown suits young women very well and it’s an excellent choice for outdoor sunny wedding ceremonies.  

Silver Sequins Maxi Dress (£99.00)

Sequin and silver are perfect for weddings. The sparkling sequins, which are compact at the top of the dress and start to space out from the hips down, give this dress an elegant and vibrant look. At the same time, the sleeveless and spaghetti straps are a statement. They say: I’m ready to dance! Without “overdressing”, this gown will make you look fabulous.

 Silver Pleated Skirt Maxi Dress (£79.00)

This is a magnificent dress. A sensual off the shoulder bardot neckline combined with a floor-length pleated skirt – a unique design! This is a great investment and surely a dress that you will wear again. It will suit very well in any black tie event or a really special occasion.

 Blue Lace High-Low Midi Dress (£69.00)

This is a very fresh and summery dress. A very special piece made of lace from the top to the bottom, with its surprising high-low edge. The navy blue tone makes it suitable for an evening event or dinner party, as well as a wedding ceremony. Its v-neckline and tight bodice are as simple as they are graceful.

 Lace Bodice Blue Satin Skirt Maxi Dress (£68.00)

Even though this is a red carpet event dress, it’s less formal, to a certain extent. It combines a sapphire blue satin skirt, worthy of a white tie event, with a black lace bodice, offering a more casual and confident vibe. This is a very modern and fashionable dress for a wedding guest.

This day is all about the bride and the groom, but there is no doubt that all guests can – and should – be at their best. Even in cases where a specific dress code has been requested, there is an array of dresses and outfits to choose from at Goddiva.
