What do I wear to a black tie wedding?
For a black-tie wedding, you'll want to opt for a longer gown in luxe fabrics like silk or satin but don't shy away from bold colours or funky prints. Add some glamour with statement jewellery and heels that will keep you on the dance floor all night. In winter you can add a tres chic fur coat or long wool piece to keep you cosy.
What do I wear to a beach wedding?
For a beach wedding, think easy, breezy and beautiful. Opt for a flowy maxi or midi dress in light, breathable fabrics like cotton or chiffon (mini dresses may not be the best option due to a rogue coastal breeze).
