Lacy and ladylike: We are admiring this particular lilac lace dress, which features a high neckline and a sheer, mid-length hem. If you want to sport colour without going overboard, pastels are ideal for summertime wedding functions. A lacy number in a candy colour will help to offset that bronzed summery glow, and will also photograph beautifully. Add a metallic envelope clutch and a pair of strappy metallic heels for a finishing touch.

Playful prints: Florals can set the mood for summer romance, and are great for daytime weddings or low key nuptials with a carefree vibe. This high-collared, airy frock makes a statement with its yellow fabric, ruffles and contrasting blue floral motif. Even if you don’t catch the bouquet on the big day, you can always rock flowers as part of your wedding guest style!

Sunshine shades: We’re not quite sure if this trend was popularized by Disney’s Princess Belle or simply by the runways, but sunny yellows are making an entrance for wedding season. Slip into a flowing lemon or pastel yellow dress, with chiffon and silky fabrics for the ultimate in femininity.
