An invitation to a spring wedding immediately evokes thoughts of sun-soaked grounds filled with fragrant florals, clinking champagne coupes and an ever so subtle wind that (hopefully!) sways one’s garden wedding guest dress. Whether the nuptials take place in an iconic sculpture garden or someone’s backyard, the outdoor setting during the light of day calls for easy elegance and sensible footwear.

The most appropriate occasion to wear florals is this! We love Carolina Herrera’s rose printed square-neck midi and Oscar de la Renta’s hollyhocks ruffled mini dress—both houses consistently propose covetable flower prints. Along with floral motifs, some playful prints are also fun to wear to such a setting. If you are feeling whimsical, try Rodarte’s pink mushroom print silk slip, but if graphic prints are more your speed, opt for Dries Van Noten’s checkers and dots shift.
Pastels are a soft and romantic palette for a garden wedding as well, but they need not be boring. A caped version by Lanvin offers just the right dose of drama, and Acne Studios’s lavender chiffon midi dress with an asymmetrical hemline, strikes a balance between sweet and cool.
For the past year, transparency and sheer dressing have reigned supreme and it will continue through this season (it’s a top spring 2024 fashion trend) so why not embrace the trend with your garden wedding guest attire? Marina Moscone’s satin and chiffon bonded bustier dress has strategically placed panels that reveal the body discreetly. Another exciting take on the trend are Prada’s ethereal lady gazar and voile dresses—if you opt for this style, it is one to keep forever and pass on as heirloom.
