The dress code is one of the most important factors to consider when attending one of your bestie's weddings or a plus one wedding. If the couple discloses that there is a theme, you better stick to it, but if it’s your standard wedding dress, here are some of our top tips.

1. Keep it glamorous but simple. The best thing about weddings is that you can go over the top but also be suitable at the same time. Try a stunning staple like a backless dress or a block colour maxi dress.

2. Wear colours like pink, green, blue and orange wedding guest dresses; all these colours are loved by brides.

3. Floral is always the perfect wedding guest dress. You can never go wrong with a beautiful floral; it's classic and reusable for other events.

Mini dresses can be stunning and stylish but figuring out if they are appropriate as a wedding guest dress can be an easy task if you know the bride. In cases where it’s not so easy to choose a mini dress over a midi or maxi dress for a wedding, it needs to hit the mark on these few things; it's dressy, chic, classy and styled to perfection with things like tights, heels, accessories and gorgeous hair.

When in doubt, just ask yourself if this is a semi-formal wedding and maybe ask a fashionista friend for some advice on the dress you had in mind.

This is a perfectly reasonable question. As a wedding guest, you want to look fabulous but also be respectful of the bride and groom so deciding which wedding guest dress is right is important.

For a spring or summer wedding, you can have fun with this; take advantage of the sunny days and go for something colourful like an orange, pink, or yellow summer dress, and so on. Or you could keep it so cute and classy and opt for a floral dress; this way, you are taking no limelight from the bride herself while still looking gorgeous.

For an autumn or winter wedding, you can go for darker shades if you aren’t feeling bright colours and go with browns, navy purples, and so on. This can give you a chance to look elegant and sexy enough without upstaging.

Styling your wedding guest dress is just as important as choosing your wedding guest dress. We have some top tips for you so you can not only feel beautiful but are comfortably prepared for the whole day:

1. Choose stylish but comfortable footwear. These could be wedges for your summer weddings or some chic kitten heels for any time of the year. Just make sure you can dance the night away in them.

2. Matching accessories to your footwear is a good rule of thumb. If you have a black wedding guest dress, you could add a pop of colour to your shoes and bag.

3. Bring a jacket or shawl, especially for autumn and winter weddings.

4. Keep your jewellery elegant and classy, which compliments the look. When in doubt, some little hoops are timeless and effective.
