The Coastal Wedding Guest Edit: Dresses & Jewellery to Wear
A wedding by the sea calls for something a little softer than a city celebration. Flowing fabrics, warm colours and jewellery that catches the golden-hour light. Here is how to put your look together.
Start with the setting
Coastal weddings usually mean sun, sea breeze and an evening that runs late. Choose a dress in a light, moving fabric such as chiffon or satin, in a colour that stays clear of white and ivory. Deep greens, soft blues and warm tones all look beautiful against the water.
Our three favourite pairings
1. Green chiffon + pearl drops
The Chiffon V-Neck Maxi Dress with Flutter Sleeves is made for a clifftop ceremony. Keep your hair in a low chignon and add the Gold Drop Earrings with Pearl Detail. Soft, classic and easy to wear all day.
2. Satin + a fine pendant
For an evening reception, the Satin Ruched Waist Maxi Dress with Adjustable Straps has a natural sheen that looks lovely by candlelight. Let one delicate necklace, like the Twisted Ring Pendant Necklace, catch the light at the neckline.
3. Off-shoulder chiffon + polished hoops
Want something a little more modern? The Off-Shoulder Pleated Chiffon Maxi Dress with Slit with Gold Oval Hoop Earrings is clean and confident, and it leaves your shoulders to do the talking.
Small details that make a difference
- Flat shoes for grass and sand. Heels sink. Flats like our Strappy Flat Sandals with Metallic Finish are easier on a lawn or a beach.
- Keep jewellery light. One focal point is enough. Let the dress and the view do the rest.
- Think about the breeze. A low bun or chignon keeps hair out of your face and shows off your earrings.
