It can easily be styled with any metals, matching or contrasting greens, complementary pinks or reds, or even with your failsafe black heels and clutch bag.

From sitting through the ceremony to letting loose on the dancefloor, a floaty wedding guest dress is perfect for easy movement, beautiful photographs, and standing proud filled with self assured confidence.
This style of dress allows for more statement prints, as the flowing, maximalist approach to the silhouette allows designers to play with prints, embellishments, and textures.
Style it simply with plain black heels and a fascinator in matching tones.

Bardot wedding guest dresses are the ideal choice for those with a feminine style, who want to opt for something a little different. Whether your personal preference is slinky silhouettes or flared and flowing, a bardot neckline gives a tasteful peek of skin and photographs beautifully.
