Destination Dressing Ireland
Destination weddings are very popular now, lots of castles and stately homes are opening their doors to special occasions that can span over 3 days and nights. This takes a lot of planning. The possibility of 3 occasion outfits might seem like a step too far so start thinking about easy outfits for outside of the dress for the wedding day and accessories that might elevate a comfortable day before and day after wedding outfit. Elevated comfort is key as Irish destination wedding dressing comes with the Irish weather with random rain falls and drops in temperature! The key is to plan a day and night outfit for each day that you will attend and look at sharing the footwear with multiple outfits.

Foreign Destination Wedding
Anyone who has been to a foreign destination wedding will know how fabulous and inspirational this can be. Spanish villas, French chateaus and Tuscan vineyards open themselves up to the possibilities of stunning imagery and lots of fabulous food. So, when planning for a foreign destination wedding guest outfit think about lightweight breathable fabrics, as the style tends to lean a little less formal including a nice acceptable comfortable shoe! But elevate the whole look with some stunning jewellery.

Beach Wedding Outfits
Nothing screams flowy maxi dress more than a beach wedding, flat footwear and loose curls in your hair very much giving the cool natural vibe. Cute accessories will elevate this look when you move from the ceremony to the reception.
Seasonal Wedding Outfits-Spring/Summer
Nothing says floaty and forgiving like a spring or summer wedding. Weddings in the early part of the year when the weather is playing nice is a perfect time to explore colour and print. Easy breezy midi and mini dresses in chiffon or a light fabric with a short or angle sleeve are perfect for this time of year with a simple wrap or light jacket to cover up when moving from one location to the next.

Seasonal Wedding Outfits-Autumn/Winter
Winter weddings scream black tie and cosy fur. Nothing is as chic as a short fur jacket over a cocktail dress. Winter wedding guest outfits are definitely a more formal affair with little or no time in the outdoors but a touch of fur on a wool coat or an oversized chuck-on jacket will finish the winter wedding outfit like the touch of snow on a far away mountain
