Dressing up for a wedding can be an exciting and daunting experience all in one. While we all love an opportunity to get dolled up, we don’t wanna go over the top, or steal the bride’s thunder. To help you tread this tricky tightrope, here’s 6 wedding outfits that’ll have you looking fab and faux pas free.
The Wedding At Sea
It may be the bride’s day, but that doesn’t mean we can’t hope for a Jack and Rose moment ala Titanic for ourselves. We chose breezy, wispy pieces that’d look great when caught in the wind, and paired them with a sleek but sturdy pair of boots in the event of rocky waters.

Topshop Might Ankle Boots S$199.00

The Garden Wedding
Floral dresses to a garden wedding may seem a tad on the nose, but if it works, it works. For a fresh spin on the look, choose pieces with more structure, or interesting embellishments like we did. Try an accessory with pearl details to compliment the look without going overboard on the florals.

Topshop Pearl Clutch Bag S$63.90
Topshop 3D Floral Shift Dress S$289.00
The Beach Wedding
Beach weddings may not be as formal as most, but you don’t want to look like you showed up for a sun tan sesh. We opted for flowy pieces that’ll keep you cool throughout the reception, but feature luxurious fabrics in warm tropical tones for a more formal vibe. Since stilettos aren’t exactly appropriate for strolling along the sand, try a heeled sandal for a classy but comfortable alternative.

Topshop Nixie Studded Heels S$129.00
Topshop Wispy Floral Midi Dress S$89.90
The Bar Wedding
Bar weddings seem to be getting more popular these days, and we’re all for the chill alternative. We chose pieces that feature a little glitz to achieve a smart-casual look that isn’t as stuffy. Top it off with a cross-body bag that’ll keep your hands free and drink-ready for the rest of the night!

The Rooftop Wedding
Rooftop weddings are decidedly more posh than the ones we’ve gone through on our list, but it still gives us room to be more modern with our wardrobe. Jumpsuits and dresses with asymmetrical cuts are fun yet formal, making them perfect for the occasion. Top it all off with a pair of heels that feature a little flirty detail and you’re ready to go.
Topshop Blazer Dress S$129.00
Topshop Racey Feathered Heeled Sandals S$89.90
Warehouse Velvet Plisse Jumpsuit S$59.60
The Ballroom Wedding
Time to break out the gowns, cause’ we’ve got a ballroom wedding on our hands. Gowns are extravagant by nature, so keeping things simple here is key. We chose ones that elongate the body, and feature minimal extra detailing for an understated elegance. Pair it with a glittery clutch for a little extra oomph, and you’ll be the belle of the ball.
