What To Wear When You’re A Destination Wedding Guest
Let’s cut to the chase. Attending a destination wedding is only half about celebrating the love – the other half is about curating the perfect look for the location. Whether you’re jetting off to the Amalfi Coast or you’re dancing barefoot in Tulum, your closet should have a passport stamp of its own.
What’s the key? Dressing for the setting while still commanding attention… Just not too much, it’s still the bride’s day after all.
Amalfi Coast, Italy
A ceremony on Italy’s most romantic coastline always calls for la dolce vita dressing. Think pastel tones, draped silhouettes, and plenty of Mediterranean glamour. A bias-cut satin maxi in trending shades of lemon or a blush slip will effortlessly take you from watching the “I dos“ to the vineyard reception. Choose a soft cowl neck or delicate back detailing for an effortless take on Italian elegance. Heels? Optional. Spritz? Essential.
Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town effortlessly combines the wilder side of beauty with a city-edge chic vibe, so your look should strike the same balance, too. Go for structural silhouettes like sharp tailoring, asymmetrical necklines, or dramatic sleeves in jewel tones like garnet, ruby or emerald. A sleek midi or trending jumpsuit will appear contemporary against the standout backdrop of mountains and vineyards.
Tulum, Mexico
Tulum weddings are barefoot luxe at its most refined. Here, breathable fabrications and soft, earthy tones are the best option. Think linen blends, tiered skirts of romantic ruffles, and open-back halter necks in sun-soaked neutrals or ocean-hued teals. A free-flowing midi with bohemian-inspired accents will keep you dance floor-ready all night long, even when that floor is sand.
Santorini, Greece
The whitewashed cliffs and cobalt seas of Santorini create the perfect, dreamlike wedding statement, so your look needs to match. Whether the theme is crisp white for a bold bride or bright azure hues that complement the landscape, be sure not to shy away from sculptural shapes. Think pleated maxis, off-shoulder gowns, or co-ords with an irresistible texture. Sun-kissed skin and metallic sandals? Consider them your plus-one.
Bali, Indonesia
Spiritual, tropical, and a little mystical, Bali weddings are a dream set into motion. Flowing silhouettes that drift in the warm breeze, floral prints, and soft satins in shades of lilac, coral, or shimmering gold, dazzle under the golden hour rays. A contemporary cut-out maxi or fluid wrap mini is the perfect style for temple ceremonies or cliffside receptions.
