Top Accessorising Tips for Wedding Guests

So, you’ve picked from a huge range of wedding guest dresses and decided which one is right for you – and now it’s time to turn your attention to accessories! But how do you get this aspect of your outfit right? Let’s look at some tips.

Keep it simple

It’s easy to overwhelm your dress with too much jewellery, so make a simple statement with minimal choices. You can try matching metals with the accents in your outfit, too. So, if your dress has a silver thread in it, use silver jewellery. Mixing metals can work with more boho looks, but it can also create a disjointed look that clashes with more formal or simpler outfits.

Look at the neckline

A lot of current wedding guest dresses have higher necklines at the moment, so choose statement earrings to maximise this finish rather than a necklace. If your dress does have a scoop or V-neck, try a delicate pendant.

You can also add rings and bracelets if your dress is sleeveless, but again, keep it minimal and classy.

Think about your hair

Hair styles can be accessorised with headbands, fancy pins and combs to add glamour. Choose hair accessories that will work with the style and colour of your dress. Structured single-coloured dresses look great with a bold statement comb or fascinator, while floaty, soft dresses look better with more delicate pins.

Remember shoes

The shoes you wear with your wedding guest dresses will really finish the outfit off perfectly, if you get it right. The key is to think about balance and comfort.

For a strong and structured dress, a more solid shoe can work brilliantly. For a floatier dress, try a more minimal shoe. The important thing is that you feel comfortable on the day, as you’ll be on your feet for hours, and nothing spoils a wedding experience faster than pain! Consider hosiery too for that sleek and well-put-together look, and you’ll look and feel great.
