If wedding invitations are dropping into your diary over the coming weeks and months, you’re guaranteed to have wondered, “What shall I wear?” more than once. To avoid any wardrobe worries, this is the ultimate guide to wedding guest trends 2024. These trending wedding guest dresses (or - spoiler alert - trouser suits and jumpsuits) will see you through this year’s nuptials in the chicest style, whether you’re celebrating in the city, country or a far flung destination…
Ladylike
The spring / summer catwalks were full of excellent outfits that are ideal if your own style centres around feminine fashion. Neat jackets, classic skirt suits and polished dresses were a major mood, which all work perfectly for the formal surroundings of a wedding. Peplum hems, Bardot necklines and ever-chic pleats add sophistication to ceremonial outfits and are the elements to look for. Bonus: These pieces are smart enough to double as elegant outfits for the races too, if you’re heading to watch the horses this season.

True Romance
With layers of tulle, frothy full skirts and ruffles appearing everywhere, romance is definitely in the air for 2024’s most extravagant trend. Whether you choose a one-and-done dress or combine charming separates, look out for delightful details. Appliqué overlay would add an heirloom element to your outfit, rich jacquard feels opulent and any fabric that floats lends a whimsical air. Add an on-trend corsage around your neck, or wear as a belt, as the finishing touch

In Bloom
Florals might seem like a permatrend that don’t deserve a place in the hottest wedding guest trends 2024 - but for spring / summer, classic blooms had a major glow-up. This season, florals are more glam than cottage garden. Look for bold photographic prints, rather than ditsy florals, and search for a palette of rich, deep shades. Black backgrounds work particularly well for smart city wedding services or evening events. These are not your grandma’s old-fashioned florals so choose equally contemporary accessories and pair your dress with sharp strappy sandals and a structured clutch.

Tailor Made
Slick tailored shapes in colour pop shades are the cleverest solution to sleek style, if you don’t do dresses. A trouser suit or jumpsuit has the ease of a dress, but are genius options for wearing again… just switch up your accessories. A crisp boyish blazer is also the fashion pack’s perennial favourite for pulling together an outfit, so slip one over the top of any look to add wedding-ready polish. Whether you prefer a slim-fitting shape or slouchier style, there is a choice of tailoring to suit every body type.
