Ruffled Dress / Frilled Dress
Hot off the heels of the retro revival trend the decade defining staple of the ‘80s, ruffled and frilled dresses, are once again a fashion favourite. Incredibly feminine, with a touch of whimsy and fun, these dresses are gorgeous when paired with a pastel colourway of floral prints – just be sure that the bridesmaids aren’t wearing anything too similar!
Mini Dress
A somewhat risqué choice, a mini dress can be totally appropriate for a wedding, if you know how to style it correctly.

All you need to finish this look is your favourite pair of chunky heels, some statement earrings, and you’ll be looking almost as good as the bride herself!
Floral Dress

However, no one can deny that floral are perfect for the warmer months of the year, and there are so many different variations on this print to choose from these days.
You can opt for a ditsy print floral number for an elegant look, or make a style statement in a tropical print inspired number, it all depends on what will work best for the type of wedding you are attending.
