As summer approaches, we begin to anticipate the long, dreamy days that will play host to pale pink confetti, statuesque cakes and an array of loved-ones creating questionable moves on makeshift dance floors. That’s right, the wedding season will be with us shortly, and whether you’ve received an invite or you’re the lucky bride-to-be, there’s no need to worry... your women’s wear solutions are right here.

First up, the wedding guest. Choosing the perfect day to evening ensemble might sound tricky, however there are plenty of women’s wear options out there, for all budgets. From an understated little black dress to a statement women’s maxi dress, the choices are endless. Remember, if you’re going to both the ceremony and the party, you’ll need a women’s dress that ensures you feel comfortable throughout the day – this way, you’ll not only look fabulous, but you’ll feel confident too... and it will shine through.

A timeless black dress provides the perfect blank canvas for accessorising, and this is the stylish solution if you have received a number of invites for the warmer months. Once considered a wedding faux pas, black is now the ideal shade to wear for this occasion. Isabella Oliver 365’s Classic Cap Wrap Dress in Caviar Black is not only flattering, but works with a variety of accessories for different looks. Feminine and timeless, this reliable, women’s jersey dress looks fabulous with a bold leopard heel and a zesty lemon clutch, or even with glossy black accessories for a more understated look.

If you’re searching for a more statement ensemble, then Roberto Cavalli’s lively Kimono Gown is a must. This bold silhouette comes with a hefty price tag, however if you desire a women’s dress that will surpass seasonal trends, then this is it. Kimono silhouettes continue to be popular year after year, so this is the perfect combination of stylish shape and timeless design. Simply team with jewelled sandals and a sparkling hair accessory for an effortless way to wear.

Love colour but wary of the maxi? Then try the feminine pattern of Opening Ceremony’s Flower Dress. The abstract mix of summery shades and the playful silhouette of this women’s mini dress provide an easy way of wearing colour, without the full-blown drama of a maxi.

When the day turns cool and evening approaches, a lightweight knit is essential. You can’t go wrong with Missoni’s light-hued shawl; the perfect accompaniment to reliable black, pastel shades, and lively patterns. Simply work with a pair of comfortable metallic wedges for a chic finishing touch.

Finally, if you are going to be the blushing bride and still worrying over what to wear down the aisle, then why not go for something a little different? Take a break from textbook ivory or white, and try Alberta Ferretti’s light, lilac design. This draped women’s dress looks fabulous with a dramatic fascinator; a contemporary alternative to the more traditional veil.

Enjoy this memorable occasion in style...
