What To Wear For Every Summer Wedding

Summer wedding season is fast approaching. Don’t let the last-minute scramble for something to wear detract from the fun and anticipation of the big day; instead, look to our Destination: Wedding edit, which includes style solutions for every invite and dress code you can imagine. We’ve assembled the outfits; now all you have to worry about is the gift.

Tuscan Vineyard

An unbeatably romantic location deserves a look to match. We’re utilising embroidered tulle, soft cheesecloth and classically flattering silhouettes to reimagine romantic codes with a signature contemporary lean.

The pink + red colour clash is back in an abstract tulip print across our Bias Cut Dress, crafted from fluid jacquard crepe and cleverly draped in all the right places. Few things capture the idea of modern romantic style like the clean, slightly sculpting lines of the Lipstick Red or Cocoa Brown Fit + Flare Maxi Dress, shaped with a wide scoop neck and contoured waist seams, before flaring to a full skirt with just the right amount of volume. Instead of a dress, look to our embroidered tulle co-ord that features a lace-overlaid top and a matching A-line skirt. 

Stately Surrounds

Everything looks good when set against the backdrop of the sprawling grounds and the grand architecture of a stately home wedding. But something that looks especially good? An unexpected pop of bright, modern color. 

Whatever the dresscode, there’s a colourful solution for every ceremony in this season’s edit. For formal affairs, look to the Draped Full-Length Dress: a vision in red, crafted from fluid crepe, with a draped high neck, subtle ruching at the hip, and a long side-slit skirt. It’s impossible to talk of gowns and stately homes without remembering Keira Knightley’s iconic green dress from Atonement, so create your own take on the look with our Eden Green full-length satin style.

Enjoy colorful Candy Coral or Tangerine Orange lace courtesy of the Fit + Flare Maxi Dress or Full Length Dress. Or for a break from the usual silhouettes, look to an elevated co-ord like the Orchard Green Shell top + Wide-Leg Pants pairing, both crafted from Italian Tweed with fringed trims. 

Town Hall + Pub

What was once considered a non-traditional route has now become a custom for city weddings: the town hall + pub combination. And what better look for a non-traditional day than a chic suit or jumpsuit? Two of this season’s hero suits are just the ticket: the Slim Contour Silhouette in Dusted Yellow Lemon or our signature Sharp Shoulder Suit in Blush Pink. Both options include your choice of pants shape to create the perfect look. 

Or opt for something blue with the Wide-Leg Jumpsuit. Crafted from Italian linen blended with a touch of viscose for added fluidity, this tailored style features a zipped neckline for customisable coverage and an optional belt. Commit to head-to-toe tonal with the matching Sharp Shoulder Blazer.

In the country

The way we see it, dressing for a wedding in the country can go one of two ways. It’s either a commitment to classic, that is, long dresses and floral prints. Or, go the twist-on-tradition route by reimaging countryside tailoring codes - historically reserved for the country gent -  through a thoroughly modern lens.

For the former, look to classically feminine styles like the Lace Trim Maxi Dress in silk and cotton or the Fit + Flare Maxi Dress in fluid jacquard crepe. Adding a subtle homage to our British heritage to the mix, the Broderie Maxi Dress in blue and white stripes features a broderie anglaise overlay and an optional belted waist. Or if the unexpected is more your speed, then look to the Soft Sculpt Suit in Olive Green. The earthy shade delivers a thoroughly modern take on the earthy palette of rural tailoring, while the fitted seams create definition around the waist without feeling restrictive.

On the beach

Hot sun and a light breeze call for breathable, lightweight fabrics and something with an effortless feel, which is where new additions to the Crease-Less Linen capsule and reimagined versions of our signature mixed media dress come in.

Available in Olive Green or Cocoa Brown, the Twist Front Maxi Dress is the perfect balance between holiday and event-ready style, crafted from our signature Crease-Less Linen, which includes viscose fibres for added fluidity and reduced creasing. Combining soft jersey across the boat-neck bodice and crisp poplin throughout the skirt, the new mixed-media Fit + Flare Maxi Dress comes equipped with an optional tie belt for further styling mileage.

All day (+ night) heels

A wedding shoe has to work hard. Whether you’re navigating the winding gravel paths of a country manor or uneven beachy terrain, comfort is a must. Anything with a flared heel, like the Caged Occasion Sandal or Slingback Occasion Heel, is your go-to for a sand-stable, sink-proof solution. For a subtle lift without the aches that often come with it, look to the Asymmetric Heel that’s set on a just-higher-than-kitten heel. 

Final Touches

The modern take on a fascinator that’s summer-wedding approved? A wide-brim hat crafted from hand-woven straw that delivers sun protection and statement style all in one. The bag to hold the essentials, while remaining practical edge? A classic clutch like our snake-print envelope style equipped with a chain shoulder strap - perfect for when you need your hands free for champagne - and a hidden central compartment ready for tissues.
