Searching for the perfect wedding guest outfit? We got you. The days of unflattering dresses, tired pastels and awkward party pictures are long gone. For 2024, we’re taking wedding guest style up a notch. The FLANNELS way. Whether you’re off to a traditional white wedding, a slick city do or a laidback beach ceremony, we’ve curated six wedding guest outfits that’ll see you through any wedding invite this year. Think party-ready minis, on-the-money red dresses, slick maxis and beach-ready attire c/o Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood. Get me to the church.

1. THE DESTINATION WEDDING

Travelling abroad for a destination wedding? The dream. Top of our getting-dressed list is this stunner from Bottega Veneta. Dark red, with a halter neck and flattering cut, it’ll keep you feeling smart but comfortable (a must in the heat). Add their ultra-fun ‘Fringe Stretch Strap Sandals’, in a matching shade of cherry red, and accessorise with a golden iteration of their cult ‘Jodie Bag’ and sell out ‘Drop Earrings’. Keep makeup simple, but effective, with lashings of mascara and a touch of gloss.

2. THE BEACH WEDDING

Heading to a beach wedding in the tropics? You lucky thing. We recommend getting into the spirit with the kings of resort wear, Missoni. This cut-out blue maxi dress was made for a beach wedding. In an ocean-blue hue, it’ll pair perfectly with the water (and a good tan), while the cut-out detailing adds a sense of edge. Pair with Cult Gaia’s golden ‘Ark’ bag and Valentino Garavani’s ‘V-logo Cutout Metallic Leather Espadrille Wedges’ – because sand – and a big round pair of Chloe sunglasses. For the ultimate beachy vibes, give a spritz of Tom Ford’s Eau de Soleil Blanc. Stunning.

3. THE SLICK CITY DO

Heading to a big fat city wedding? You’ll want to go for something punchy, chic, fun. Top of our list? Khaite’s ‘Yenza Dress’ in the trending colour of the last few seasons: red. Pair with Burberry’s ‘Rose Clutch’, a true ode to British summer, and a pair of Givenchy’s ‘Voyou Slingbacks’ in black (made for those jumping on the bus after). Finish with a spritz of Yves Saint Laurent’s YSL Libre fragrance and a pair of gold earrings from Bottega Veneta, which brings the brand's signature intrecciato to their jewellery.

4. THE COUNTRY AFFAIR

If you’re off to one of those idyllic country garden weddings, then we recommend going pastel, with a touch of floral (bear with us). Vivienne Westwood’s ‘Sunday Mini Dress’ really nails the brief of ‘Sunday best’ with a cinched-in waist, billowing skirt and twisted straps. Pair with a nude Christian Louboutin bag and their ‘Sandale du Desert Silk,’ which feature a floral print and big, silk ankle tie. The finishing touch? A spritz of Gucci’s Gucci Floral Gorgeous Magnolia - like a garden in a bottle.

5. THE BLACK-TIE EVENT

When it comes to dressing for a black-tie wedding, we recommend channelling your inner Bond. The easiest way to do so? With a big-energy black dress from Magda Butrym. A floor-length gown complete with the brand’s signature rose detailing, you’ll feel like a regular Oscar red carpet walker. As for the accessories? Go for a touch of silver c/o Aquazzura and Valentino Garavani. And finish with a swipe of Dior Addict Shine in ‘Dior 8’. Shaken, not stirred, after all.

Dark floral Saint Laurent mini dress, YSL shoes, Black Saint Laurent clutch bag, Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray

6. THE ALL-NIGHT PARTY

In 2024, weddings are looking a little different. Priorities are shifting and couples are shirking tradition in order to focus on one thing: the party. Naturally, you’ll need a next-level dress to suit. That’s where Saint Laurent comes in. Proving florals can be groundbreaking, and most certainly don’t have to be ditsy, is this perfect ‘Tulle One Shoulder Mini Dress’, covered in graphic flowers with flattering ruching. Finish with the brand’s bestselling ‘Envelope Crossbody Bag’ and ‘Opyum Slingback 85 Sandals’. And to keep that party makeup going all night long? You’ll want Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Setting Spray. Think of it as superglue for your complexion.
