Your Guide to Colourful Wedding Guest Dresses

This wedding season, we’re all about bringing the fun with colourful wedding guest dresses that elevate your personal style and feel like you. Whether you’re heading to a formal wedding or something more laid back, a colourful wedding guest dress never looks awry.

Here’s your go-to guide for choosing a colourful outfit, with plenty of styling tips along the way.

Floral Maxi Dresses

Maxi dresses are about as classic as it gets for a wedding ensemble, but opting for a bright and bold floral design can help set you apart from a sea of neutrals. We love floral styles that incorporate darker shades too, which help to make the brighter colours really pop.

Floral maxis work just as well at a formal evening wedding as they do at a summer garden party. Layer with a lightweight blazer for a more structured look, or leave as-is for outdoor celebrations.

Ombre Everything

Ombre is everywhere right now, and we can’t get enough. It’s effortlessly feminine and universally flattering. Choose a midi dress with a vibrant ombre pattern for a look that’s both playful and sophisticated - perfect for garden weddings, afternoon receptions, or even semi-formal evening events.

Nude or pastel-toned heels pair well with ombre outfits, while delicate jewellery pairings keep things balanced and chic.

Pastel Coloured Wedding Guest Dresses

If you want colour, but not too much, you can tone things down with pastels. Structured mini dresses and jumpsuits carry shades of lavender and mint beautifully, and work so well for beach weddings, city celebrations, or any setting where you want to bring that put-together yet relaxed vibe. They’re also a great choice if you’re planning to transition from ceremony to after-party without an outfit change.

Strappy sandals or block heels keep the look polished and work perfectly with this style, while a structured mini bag or a clutch complements the clean lines of a jumpsuit.
