What To Wear For Every Spring Wedding
Spring is a much-awaited season when the natural landscape comes into full bloom after the cold winter. The sun shines brighter, the days grow warmer, and the flowers show off fantastic colors. These are some of the reasons why many couples choose to marry in the spring. It’s the perfect environment for an outdoor wedding or reception.
Be prepared with wedding-worthy outfits that can be worn to all the happy occasions you’re attending. While one perfect dress is a treasure, it’s best to have a dress appropriate for different kinds of nuptials. Plus, with social media documenting your attendance at these events, you wouldn’t want to make it seem like you attended all of them in just one day.
We have put together ideas for what to wear for every spring wedding to help you get ready for each of them.
Bloom in Florals
You can never go wrong wearing florals to a spring wedding. It’s a pretty and feminine look, even expected.
Pick a floral midi dress with eye-catching prints in refreshing colors. These prints will be the main accessory of the entire outfit. With bold prints, you will want to pair the dress with neutral or complementary pieces like this straw clutch, pearl earrings, and a simple bracelet that has the same colors as the dress. When wearing midi dresses, don’t make the shoes an after-thought as they are as visible and will complete the outfit.
A floral dress would be the best pick for an outdoor or garden wedding.

Solar hues of red, orange, and yellow easily catch attention and add to the cheerful ambience of the occasion. These full-color sunset midis are best worn for beach weddings where they complement or even stand out with the surroundings.
Dress up these midis with colorful shoes and accessories that will contrast with the color of the dress. Try orange with turquoise, yellow with green, and coral with aqua for combinations that create an interesting color palette.

Stripes are the opposite of florals. They’re geometric while florals are organic. Inserting color is a way to make the defined lines more interesting. The bolder the stripes, the better as they are more visually arresting.
Wearing a striped dress like this with bold colors would be perfect for indoor weddings and even evening weddings. They add color to the soft lights of the setting and insert joy into the ambience.
Pair a striped dress with accessories that also have geometric patterns to continue the theme of the look. Bucket bags are also trending this season so you may want to invest in one that can be used for various occasions and even as an everyday bag.

Spring is the best time to embrace color. Wearing vibrant maxi dresses to a wedding is an easy choice. Against that bold palette, accessories can be used to your advantage. For example, pairing this neon pink maxi with the following pieces creates a harmonious outfit. Notice the pink tones on the earrings and necklace and how the two accessories complement each other. The bag gives the outfit a somewhat casual tone proper to a day wedding.
This type of dress is appropriately worn for a day wedding outdoors. When choosing fabrics, take note that shiny materials are better worn in the evening.

There’s no hard and fast rule that says only dresses can be worn to weddings (unless the couple requests for it specifically). Skirts can also be worn with blouses and/ or formal tops. They’re a great alternative to a dress and can be more flexible.
For a wedding, an appropriate skirt length would be by a hem that skirts the knees or longer, like a midi or maxi. Try a skirt with an interesting pattern or colors then pair it with a complementary top. Take the skirt above as an example and the blouse below. See how the colors match each other even with differing patterns. Complete the look with simple but elegant accessories that still match the clothes and that will also make the combination more formal.
A skirt-and-top combination is good for any setting and at any time, day or night.
