If you're going to a wedding this summer, choosing what you're going to wear can be a lot of fun.
Where the wedding is being held, what time of day it is, and what sort of budget you're on can all determine the outfit you choose.
We've narrowed down some of the best options out there for every sort of wedding, whatever you want to spend:
Evening wedding
An evening ceremony is a great excuse to really glam up. This Petal + Pup Luella dress in rust, $79.95, is a gorgeous colour in a slinky fabric. It's maxi-length so appropriate for evening, but with one-shoulder to give it an edge. It has a gathered side detail and a soft, satin feel.
Perfect for day or evening weddings, this Chancery Ivy Midi Dress, $139.95, is cut from a luxe fabric, and has a beautiful ruched fit. It's shapely without being overly figure hugging, so comfy if you're wearing it for a long time. The soft mauve colour is a perfect wedding hue too.
An evening dress doesn't have to be long. This soft Geometry Dress from Sheike, $169.95, is sophisticated and romantic - perfect for an evening wedding where you don't want to wear something tight.
Traditional wedding
Just because a ceremony is traditional doesn't mean you have to be boring. This Sacha Drake Hour of the Arcade Wrap Dress, $549.00, is seriously striking. It's made from silk, and is a wrap design so it hugs the waist and gives a good swish when you move. Perfect for a formal day event and dancing in the evening.
The Ojai dress from Showpo, $79.95, is a great budget option. Wear it with a wrap or jacket if you want to cover up for the traditional part of the day, then with bare shoulders for the evening event when you can let your hair down. It's fully-lined, soft, and easy to wear.
This Stella Fuzzy Spot Dress, $179, will see you through wedding season. Made from a soft chiffon, with a halter neckline and tie at the waistband, it looks great with a jacket or shawl. Keep this in your wardrobe and bring it out anytime you don't know what to wear.
