Dressing For Spring Weddings

For a spring wedding, floral or pastel-coloured dresses are an effortless and fuss-free choice. Our go-to looks this season are block-coloured midi and maxi dresses. Light and flowy, these sweet spring dresses will keep you comfy and feeling fab all day long. Soft pinks, lush lavenders and mint greens are the colourways to watch, and we’ve got heaps of glam picks across our exclusive wedding guests outfits.

If dresses aren’t quite your vibe, pair a pastel blouse with a flowy skirt, or boss your look with a blazer and trouser co-ord. Power suits never looked so good.

Get The Colour Palette Right

Spring is all about bright and bold colours, so embrace this season’s colour trends and choose dresses in vibrant shades like coral, mint green, and lavender.

If pastel colours are your fashion spring fling, blush pink, baby blue, and lemon yellow are oh-so-perfect for spring occasions!

Flowing Fabrics

Spring weather can be unpredictable, so it’s essential to choose fabrics that will keep you comfortable and stylish throughout the day.

Your best bet is to choose lightweight materials like cotton, linen, or chiffon that are breathable and airy. These fabrics will keep you cool and comfortable, making them totally perfect for outdoor spring events.

We can’t get enough of satin slip dresses and skirts this season. They ooze elegance and sophistication and are a delight to dress up.

Playful Party Outfits

Jumpsuits and playsuits, jeans and a nice top combos and cute co-ords are all killer outfit choices that can be dressed up for special occasions.

Once you’ve chosen your ensemble, team your fit with block heels, a bright clutch bag and hoop earrings for instant outfit elevation.

Accessorise Wisely

Accessories can make or break an outfit, so choose your bling carefully. Spring is the perfect time to experiment with statement jewellery. Think chunky necklaces, oversized earrings and as many bangles as you fancy.

When it comes to bags, go for clutches or small cross-body bags that are easy to carry and won’t weigh you down.

For shoes, reach new style heights this season with chunky wedges, sleek heels, or slingback sandals to elevate your outfit and make you feel confident!

All About The Layers

It’s no secret that the weather forecast isn’t always right. So, if April showers hit this spring, be prepped with a collection of layers you can count on.

If the event is outdoors, bring a longline formal jacket or a neutral knitted cardi that you can easily drape over your shoulders. Tap into our dreamy outerwear collections for iconic layers to wear this season and the next.

If you’re manifesting sunshine, light scarves and shawls are the perfect accessories. They’ll have you feeling super-fancy while adding new texture and colour to your look.
