Garden wedding
Surrounded by nature, a garden wedding naturally lends itself to a more relaxed vibe, and this should be mirrored in your attire. Embrace the effortless elegance of the setting with a floral print from Faithfull or opt for soft, earthy tones like Miss Rosier's beautifully printed design to complement your surroundings.
Southern European
There’s something uniquely exciting about traveling across borders for a wedding – the packing, the anticipation. Weddings in Southern Europe are often filled with vibrant colours, warm weather, and stunning scenery. Let your attire reflect this lively atmosphere by choosing a dress in bold hues, playful patterns, or light,, sheer fabrics.
City wedding
Whether it's a town hall, museum, or library, these urban venues set the perfect stage for a cocktail-style dress. With fewer natural elements to consider, practicality can take more of a backseat. Choose sleek, figure-hugging silhouettes like Acne’s chic midi dress, or a luxurious silk design by Prada, ideal for sipping cocktails at the bar of an elegant banquet hall.
Beach wedding
While beach weddings are often linked to distant tropical paradises, there's a growing trend of nuptials set along the breathtaking beaches of the Scandinavian archipelagos. Wherever you are, a beach setting calls for a light, romantic color palette – think Rat & Boa's printed off-shoulder dress. Embrace the effortless charm of the beach with fabrics like linen and lightweight satin, ideal for capturing the relaxed yet elegant vibe of the occasion.
Black tie wedding
A black-tie wedding is one of the rare occasions to go all out, dialing the glamour up to its highest level. While floor-length gowns are a classic choice, they might feel too heavy for a warm summer day. Our suggestion: opt for a design that elegantly shows a hint of skin – whether it’s an off-shoulder silhouette, a subtle cut-out, or a high slit that reveals just a touch of leg.
