Say 'Yes' to the Wedding Guest Dress

If you're not a lover of bright colour or graphic prints, polka dots are a more subtle approach. This spotty mini dress makes for one of the best summer outfits to have in your occasion line-up. Featuring a polka-dot print, flattering flared shape and a statement corsage, it'll get you noticed for all the right reasons. Let this dress do all the talking and keep your accessories minimal – neutral coloured sandals and a simple clutch are all you need.

A floral-print dress is a pretty choice for a spring or summer wedding, perfectly complementing country house, marquee or beach settings. When selecting a patterned dress, consider styles that will work beyond the wedding season for maximum cost per wear.

Make a statement with this beautiful floral-print maxi dress. The ruffled tiers create a feminine silhouette, while the darker, more dramatic print offers a twist on traditional summer florals. Finish with a pair of sleek sandals to ground the look. Wedges, block heels and flatforms work well for lawn receptions.

A wedding can be a magical occasion, but is often an all-day affair, so make sure your dress can go the distance by having an oversized blazer or cardigan to hand.
