What to wear to a winter wedding: From floral designs, midi and maxi dresses, plus stylish two pieces

WEDDING season is back in full force, and we are not complaining.

For those who are undecided about what to wear for those autumn or winter weddings, we have you covered.

Winter weddings are coming in thick and fast – but what should the guests wear?Boden/ASOS/Mango

With Covid delaying a lot of weddings, winter weddings are more popular than ever.

Wedding guests are spoilt for choice, as you can wear midi or maxi length dresses, bohemian style designs, as well as jumpsuits and tailored pieces, such as co-ords, which are always on trend.

We understand, and know first hand, buying a wedding guest outfit is stressful stuff, as there are a whole host of styles, and designs out there.

Let’s not forget that underlying fear we will mistakenly buy, or match, with the bridesmaids – awkward!

We have found a selection of stylish outfits, from dresses, and jumpsuits, to two pieces, various textures, warm jewel tones, to keep you warm, yet stylish, for the winter weddings this year.

1. Amelia Cotton Maxi Dress

Looking to opt for something else other than a dress, but consider a two piece suit too formal, then a wide leg co-ord is the one.

This pairing gives the illusion of a jumpsuit, just without the faff of wriggling out of it when you are bursting for the loo.

It screams autumn with the burnt orange floral print, while the blouson sleeves, wide legs and high waisted detail make it a super flattering design.
