WHAT TO WEAR TO A WEDDING ABROAD

If you’re wondering what dress to wear to a wedding abroad, it’s best to start with the destination itself. Couples tend to make the most of the spring wedding season by opting for warmer climates, which makes a floral outfit a failsafe choice. Classic wedding guest dresses, from floor-length maxis to modern slips, will always look great in a feminine print. For 2026, jewel tones and bold shades like red and green are proving popular, as well as embellished details and draping.

If a dress isn’t really your thing, why not opt for a jumpsuit? These sleek one-pieces are unexpected but still lean classic, so there’s no risk of upstaging the bride. Power dressing is having a major moment this spring/summer, so there’s no better time to invest in dramatic tailored jumpsuits for weddings. For sunny settings, opt for strapless or bandeau styles – also a great way to balance the more masculine silhouette.

Jumpsuits aren’t the only choice where tailoring is concerned. Just because you’re jetting off for your event doesn’t mean sleek staples aren’t welcome. In fact, co-ords are a surefire way to make your wedding-guest outfit feel modern and fashion-forward. From oversized shorts to architectural blazers and shirts, you’ll certainly be the talk of the toast in these looks.

Of all the wedding destinations you might encounter this year, the beach is perhaps the most coveted. But while it promises sun-drenched celebrations and incredible photos, it’s a puzzle for outfit planning. Prioritise lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow plenty of movement – and won’t get weighed down if you happen to get wet. Tulle, sheer mesh and lace are ideal in this scenario – and while white is a no-go for most wedding guests, soft pastels are a great way to complement the scenery.
