I Went to 6 Destination Weddings Last Year—Here Are My Qualifications for a Perfect Wedding Guest Dress
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Last year, I went to six weddings, and only one of them was in New York where I live. For months, I was gone every other weekend, and I don't think I've ever traveled more in a short span of time in my entire life. I went to Mykonos, the highlands of Iceland, Buenos Aires, Boston, and San Diego. I got really good at packing but even better at the special kind of mental gymnastics needed to justify buying a small collection of special, fancy dresses essentially for one night. At first, six nearly back-to-back weddings and the five trips planned around them sounded beyond stressful. That was until the shopping lover in me realized this just might be my dream come true. I finally had an excuse to buy a handful of designer dresses I had been dreaming of. Is that the best way to think? Definitely not. But I'm a fashion editor who spends so much time admiring and writing about runway and red carpet pieces I have no reason to own—but wish I did—for my day-to-day life. The thought of being able to curate my own selection of exceptional special-occasion dresses that would forever be tethered to incredible memories made me giddy. I can confidently say there are fewer things in my wardrobe that I'm more proud of than my wedding guest dress edit. The first dress I wore was sourced from The RealReal. It was for the only wedding that I attended in New York in late August. I knew it would be hot, and the dress code was less formal, so I opted for a vintage pink Miu Miu dress from the 2000s with a long floral strap made of soft fabric. It only felt right to go all pink with vintage suede Prada pumps. A little pink dress is now superior to an LBD in my opinion, especially for a summer wedding. It's cheeky, cutesy, and easy to accessorize. View Deal View Deal View Deal The next wedding was a formal black-tie affair in Mykonos, Greece. I had actually purchased a vintage Roberto Cavalli gown in Marbella, Spain, two summers before in case an occasion exactly like this came up. It is one of the most beautiful things I've laid my eyes on with a print so ridiculous it just works. Throughout the gown, there are seashells, leopard prints, and pink blossoms. I have eccentric style, and I think a patterned gown like this works great if you want to have a little more fun with a formal look. It also felt perfectly in line with the location. I wanted something that felt like the vacation I was also having. View Deal View Deal View Deal Not all summer destination weddings are in warm locations. My second destination wedding was the weekend after Mykonos and took place in the highlands of Iceland. There was a possibility of snow with lows in the 20s but also the potential of highs in the 50s. I had no idea what to wear, but in times of doubt, there's always Rodarte… right? Right! I opted for a black Rodarte gown I found on sale since that felt best for the colder landscape. It was covered in a velvet floral pattern with an asymmetrical ruffle. I already thought it was perfect and then saw that Charli XCX had worn the same exact dress. The thing that makes Rodarte so special is that it's so ethereal, so you could wear one of its gowns in an unconventional way—which I did with stockings and a fur jacket because I had no choice on the day of—and it still works. There's a quirky whimsy to the brand that makes it perfect to wear to an untraditional affair. View Deal View Deal View Deal By the time I had to head over to San Diego in early October, I knew I wanted to try out a shorter pink dress again. I found the perfect option: another secondhand Miu Miu dress from The RealReal, except this one was from 2013. I had loved this dress on the runway and was so excited to finally own it. Like the first Miu Miu dress I wore at the beginning of my wedding stretch, it had a fun detail that cascaded down the dress. It can best be described as a rosette prize ribbon. While rosettes and prize ribbons feel very much like the new bows and ribbons, I don't think we've reached a saturation point yet. They're an unexpected detail on a wedding guest dress, which is perfect if you're looking for something that'll set you apart. View Deal View Deal View Deal I've written about Siedrés before because I think the Turkish brand is a fashion editor's best-kept secret. Since discovering it a little over a year ago at a fateful press appointment, I've been obsessed. I wore a Siedrés dress to cap off my wedding marathon in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was a patterned blue dress with red floral accents and ruffles throughout complete with a matching thin scarf I tossed around my shoulder. It's fun to support a newer brand, and it felt cool to have people ask me where it's from and leave them with knowledge of something they didn't know about before. View Deal View Deal View Deal For a wedding just outside of Boston in October, it was still nice enough to wear a shorter dress with no jacket, but I wanted to step away from pastels since it was still technically fall. I opted for another Rodarte dress I found on sale (the Rodarte gods blessed me not once but twice!) in a bright purple. I feel like most of my friends tend to gravitate toward pastels, but I think going brighter in the color department is even more fun, and everyone should do it more often.

‘Far too casual for a wedding' people say as guest proudly shows off her ‘picnic' dress with flip-flops
A FASHIONISTA has come under fire after showing off her wedding guest outfit trolls insist is ''too casual''. Wedding season has well and truly arrived, which means many people have been taking to social media to share their stylish frocks and gowns. 2 Amongst them is also TikToker Rosie Ridgers who recently attended '' a casual wedding '' and was dressed fit for the occasion. The brunette beauty, who now lives in Barcelona, Spain, was deciding between four different picks - an adorable Gingham maxi dress, a flattering dress in pastel yellow, a gorgeous satin pink skirt teamed with a light yellow waistcoat, as well as as maxi lace number in pink and yellow. However, despite being told by social media critics that the red and white Gingham dress was ''too casual'', it was this option Rosie went with. In the follow-up clip before the romantic ceremony, the style lover modelled the cute sleeveless dress that she had paired with a white pearl necklace, a chic updo, as well as some golden jewellery. Yet it was the choice of footwear that seemed to cause the most uproar in the comments - as Rosie decided to do rock comfy black flip-flops. All chuffed with the final look, she wrote: ''The wedding guest dress that you all called 'too casual'. ''Do you still agree?'' 'Flip flops for wedding is wild' But while Rosie looked stunning - and was comfortable - keyboard warriors weren't sure if the final outfit was fit for a wedding. The clip, posted under the username @ rosieridgers, has since racked up more than 173k views in less than 24 hours, with over 90 people flooding to comments. One person thought: ''it's super cute but 1000% too casual. this is like a brunch or picnic or just summer weekend look.'' Frankie Bridge slammed by fans again for SHEER wedding guest dress that's 'too much' and will 'upstage the bridge' Meanwhile, someone else said that Rosie's decision to sport flip-flops at a wedding was ''wild''. Another agreed, writing: ''Maybe just add a strappy heel (even a low one)... The flip flops are defo too casual (certainly for a day 1).'' A fourth chimed in sharing how they'd make the cute ensemble more ''wedding-appropriate'' in their eyes. ''Sweet kitten heel would have made this wedding appropriate. Flip flops would not be my choice.'' ''cute but casual, makes me think of those gingham dresses used to wear to primary school,'' commented a viewer. Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. 'It was such a casual wedding' After being slammed in the comments, Rosie hit back at the critics, ordering them to ''relax''. ''Guys, this is a bit of a wind up, it was such a casual wedding! And I knew that going into it, they wanted everyone to be extra comfortable & happy during the evening! ''It was such a special way to organise it and I knew some of you would debate it in the comments BUT some of you are taking it too far.

From Princess Diana to Diana Ross, These Are the 15 Most Iconic Bridal Looks of All Time
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As wedding season kicks off, my calendar remains disappointingly void of invitations. I find myself in that in-between phase—half my friends are still single, while the others are only just tiptoeing into the realm of long-term commitment. A few proposals have been floated, but the flurry of save-the-dates has yet to arrive. Still, as a romance-loving fashion writer with an insatiable eye for bridal style, I refuse to let wedding season pass me by. If I can't admire aisle-bound ensembles in real time, I'll do the next best thing: revisit some of the most iconic bridal looks in history. From Old Hollywood elegance to modern-day minimalism, these unforgettable gowns have shaped bridal fashion for generations. Whether you're a bride-to-be seeking inspiration or simply someone who appreciates the artistry of a beautifully crafted dress, join me in taking a look back at some of the most magical wedding looks to ever grace the aisle. Style Notes: Kate Moss's fashion legacy—though long and undeniably iconic—can, in my book, be distilled into a handful of defining moments: her unforgettable turns on the Mugler, McQueen, and Vivienne Westwood runways; the launch of her buzzy Topshop collaboration in 2007; and, of course, her 2011 wedding to Jamie Hince. For her walk down the aisle, Moss chose a custom John Galliano gown—an ethereal, embroidered ivory dress with an opaque bodice that softened into a sheer, whisper-light tail. Designed fresh off the back of Galliano's tenure at Dior, the gown embodied a blend of vintage romance and contemporary ease. Its 1930s-inspired draping and subtle decadence captured both the undone elegance of Moss's personal style and a modern vision of bridalwear. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Bianca Jagger's ivory suit was one of the first bridal looks that ignited my fascination with wedding fashion. Sleek, striking and ahead of its time, her Yves Saint Laurent ensemble retold what it meant to be a bride. The tailored blazer, sharp and structured, was offset by a fluid column skirt, creating a silhouette that felt at once powerful and poetic. For her Saint-Tropez ceremony, Jagger completed the look with YSL's now-iconic Le Smoking jacket, an ivory skirt, and a wide-brimmed hat delicately veiled in tulle. Open-toe sandals gave the look a final flourish of insouciant glamour, helping her set the tone for decades of boundary-pushing bridal style to come. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: When Lady Diana Spencer stepped out in her ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown in 1981, she didn't just marry into royalty—she made bridal history. Designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, the dress was a theatrical vision of regal romance: all sweeping volume, intricate lace, and statement puff sleeves that added a touch of playful grandeur. The antique lace trim delicately framed her face, while the billowing skirt and 25-foot train added drama in spades. Diana's dress didn't just define the bridal aesthetic of the 1980s—it set the standard for fairytale fashion for decades to come. Its voluminous silhouette and lavish detail captured the opulence of its time, yet its influence continues to ripple through modern bridalwear. For those drawn to that kind of princess-worthy drama, look to cascading tulle, sculptural organza, and ornate finishing touches. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: It would be a grave injustice if the icon behind My Heart Will Go On and The Power of Love didn't earn a spot on this list. Luckily for us, Celine Dion delivered a bridal moment as theatrical as her greatest hits. Her wedding look was nothing short of a spectacle: a 20-foot train trailing behind her and a three-kilo crystal-encrusted headpiece—featuring over 2000 Swarovski crystals—crowned her ensemble with dazzling excess. Every inch of Dion's gown was steeped in drama. Saturated with hand-sewn crystal and pearl embellishments, it shimmered from every angle, proving that when it comes to wedding-day style, more can absolutely be more. A true master class in maximalist bridal fashion, Dion's look was bold, opulent, and utterly unforgettable—just like the woman herself. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Long before she became First Lady, Michelle Obama married Barack Obama in 1992 at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. For the occasion, she chose a classic bridal look that echoed the romance of the day: a traditional white gown featuring an elegant Bardot neckline and softly structured short sleeves that framed her shoulders with grace. The dress flowed into a voluminous satin skirt, a sheer veil draped delicately over her curled hair and pearl drop earrings added a refined, personal touch to the ensemble. Though her gown was more traditional than the contemporary fashion statements she would later become known for, the look captured the poise, elegance and quiet confidence that would come to define her public image. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: The lace! The satin! The shoe! When Diana Ross walked down the aisle in 1985, she did so in true pop-star fashion—fusing glamour, grace and individuality into one unforgettable bridal moment. Her wedding gown was a study in refined drama: a glossy satin dress with a fluid silhouette, topped with a sweeping lace cape that framed her look with soft, romantic grandeur. The ensemble was both theatrical and sophisticated, balancing bold textures and timeless details in a way only Ross could. The cape—delicate yet commanding—added movement and majesty, while her sleek satin gown beneath offered a streamlined counterpoint. Paired with elegant heels and her signature poise, the look captured the essence of '80s opulence. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Dipped in a striking shade of salmon pink, Gwen Stefani's 2002 wedding dress was nothing short of iconic. Designed and hand-painted by John Galliano for Dior, the gown was a bold, painterly statement that captured the early 2000s appetite for fashion that felt rebellious, playful, and anything but traditional. The dress featured a classic strapless silhouette, but it was the ombré wash of color—starting with ivory at the bodice and fading into rich pink at the hem—that really set it apart. Romantic yet unconventional, it felt like a love letter to individuality and creativity, reflecting Stefani's punk-meets-pop sensibility and Galliano's flair for the theatrical. While steeped in the avant-garde, the look still managed to tap into the emotional weight of a wedding gown—it just did so on entirely new terms. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Never had I considered a Vegas wedding so seriously—until I laid eyes on Lily Allen's effortlessly cool Nevada nuptials. Eschewing billowing skirts and froufrou flourishes, the singer opted for a knee-skimming Dior minidress in a classic cream shade. The dress, detailed with double-breasted buttons, nodded to vintage tailoring while maintaining a thoroughly modern edge. With its clean lines and mod silhouette, it felt equal parts timeless and rebellious—exactly what you'd hope for in an offbeat wedding moment. Allen completed the look with a soft, billowy veil and a bouquet of peach-toned roses, adding just the right amount of romantic charm to her city-ceremony style. A love letter to fuss-free fashion with a retro twist, Allen's look makes a strong case for the mini as the ultimate modern-bride move—especially if your aisle happens to be in Vegas. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: What strikes me most about Keira Knightley's bridal look is the playful, carefree charm that seems to infuse every element of it. Eschewing grandeur in favour of something refreshingly low-key, her ensemble felt like a breath of fresh air in a world of structured silhouettes and floor-sweeping trains. Topping her tousled locks was a delicate pink floral headpiece—whimsical and romantic in place of a traditional veil or jewelled tiara. Her dress, a fit-and-flare minidress crafted in airy layers of tulle, brought a youthful, effervescent spirit to the look. Knightley topped it all off with a cropped tweed jacket and a pair of pale-pink ballet flats. The result? A look that felt utterly her own: relaxed, romantic and undeniably cool. It's this easy confidence that continues to earn her a spot on my list of unforgettable brides. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Elegant yet relaxed, Yoko Ono's bridal look for her 1969 wedding to John Lennon was a master class in minimalist cool—calling on the simple silhouettes of the era to create a style that felt effortlessly chic and refreshingly ahead of its time. Staying true to a traditional white palette, Ono chose a tiered minidress that she styled it with knee-high socks and classic white plimsolls—a choice that felt unconventional then and still reads as boldly original today. Her accessories were just as distinctive: oversized sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat added an extra dose of personality. Stripped-back yet completely singular, Ono's look was a reflection of her own creative spirit. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: When I first compiled this list, one look immediately came to mind as absolutely essential: Grace Kelly's wedding dress for her 1956 nuptials to Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. It's a gown that embodies elegance, and its beauty continues to captivate to this day. Classic, poised and imbued with an air of regal refinement, Kelly's dress was a masterwork of bridal sophistication. The dress featured a delicate lace bodice that extended gracefully up her clavicle, framing her neck with an almost sculptural flare. Button detailing cascaded down her chest, meeting a thick satin waistband that transitioned into a voluminous skirt—each element contributing to the dress's romantic allure. As dramatic as the design was, there was an effortless refinement that carried through, ensuring the gown never veered into excess. Set against the backdrop of Monaco's glamour, Kelly's wedding dress echoed the romance and grandeur of the location while maintaining a quiet, regal dignity. It's the perfect blend of old-world romance and sophisticated drama—undoubtedly one of the most iconic bridal moments in history. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: The only bride on my list to depart from the classic white gown, Sarah Jessica Parker married Matthew Broderick in 1997, wearing a striking black wedding dress by designer Morgane Le Fay. Choosing the dark hue to shift the focus away from herself on her wedding day, Parker later admitted to feeling some regret over the unconventional choice. Yet, for me, it remains one of the most memorable takes on bridal style of all time. The dress, with its sleek lines and soft, ethereal fabric, was a departure from tradition. While many might have shied away from such an unconventional bridal choice, Parker embraced it with poise and confidence, something that only added to the appeal of this bold, unforgettable moment. Even years later, I continue to regard this as one of the most refreshing, boundary-pushing bridal looks I've come across. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Solange Knowles's 2014 wedding look captured the free-spirited, offbeat energy of the time. Eschewing the traditional bridal gown, Solange selected a light cream jumpsuit, complete with cape detailing and a scoop-neck finish, resulting in a bridal look infused with a comfortable and chic energy that reflected her unique style. Pictured with a bicycle in hand and a bouquet delicately draped over the frame, Solange's ensemble felt full of personality—a celebration of individuality and a far cry from the expected, yet still wholly appropriate for a wedding. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: If lavish lace is on your bridal mood board, then look no further than Lily Collins's stunning lace-adorned gown. Draping the actress in layers of intricate embroidery, her bridal look exuded opulence and romance. The gown was completed with a dramatic floor-length cape that extended up to a hood, adding an ethereal, almost regal quality to her ensemble. Making a case for extravagance without ever feeling overdone, the lace detailing—delicate yet rich in texture—created a visual feast, while the cape added a touch of grandeur. Every element of the look played into the fantasy of the occasion, with drama and decadence served in equal measure. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: It was a had-to-be-there moment. Joining TikTok in time for her summer nuptials and documenting it all the way through, Sofia Richie had us glued to our phones as the quiet luxury purveyor took us through the weeklong occasion of her 2023 wedding. For her big day, Richie selected a bespoke Chanel gown that featured a halterneck design, adorned with intricate embroidery that added a subtle layer of opulence without overwhelming the overall look. The gown's fine detailing was matched only by the ethereal, wispy veil that enveloped her face, creating a soft, romantic aura. The delicate veil, paired with the sleek simplicity of her dress, ensured that Richie's bridal look was both timeless and contemporary, effortlessly chic and deeply memorable.
