šŸŒž What to Wear for a Summer Wedding (Guest Guide)

Whether it’s a beachfront ā€œI Doā€ or a countryside celebration, dressing for a summer wedding can be a fun style challenge. At Faboutique, we’re here to help you find the perfect outfit that’s chic, breathable, and unforgettable—no matter the dress code or location.

šŸ‘— 1. Know the Dress Code

Before you shop, check the invitation or wedding website for the dress code:

  • Formal/Black-Tie: Opt for a long gown or elegant cocktail dress in luxe fabrics like satin or chiffon.
  • Semi-Formal: A midi or knee-length dress works beautifully—think flutter sleeves, wrap styles, and bold prints.
  • Casual/Beach/Backyard: Go light and breezy—rompers, sundresses, or flowy maxis are perfect.

šŸ’” Pro tip: Avoid white, off-white, or anything too bridal unless the invite says otherwise!

🌸 2. Beat the Heat with Light Fabrics

Summer weddings = sunshine, dancing, and sweat! Choose breathable fabrics like:

  • Cotton
  • Linen blends
  • Rayon or lightweight chiffon

šŸ’” Pro tip: Avoid thick knits or heavy satin if it’s an outdoor or daytime event.

šŸŽØ 3. Choose the Right Colors

Go for seasonally inspired colors:

  • Blush, sage, teal, peach, lilac
  • Bold tones like emerald, coral, fuchsia, or even bright florals

šŸ’” Pro tip: šŸ–¤ Skip black if it’s a daytime wedding—it can feel heavy or out of place.

šŸ’ƒ 4. Don’t Forget Function + Fun

You’ll likely be walking on grass, sand, or cobblestone—so choose footwear wisely:

  • Chunky block heels
  • Cute flats or embellished sandals
  • Wedges for height without sinking

And don’t forget:

  • Statement earrings
  • A clutch or mini bag
  • Lightweight outerwear in case of breeze or chilly night air
