Wedding season is well and truly upon us.

Whether you’re heading to a wedding as a family member, a close friend or as someone’s plus one, it’s always a confidence boost when your outfit has you feeling fabulous (and for the right price).

Great value is key, especially when weddings can be super expensive to attend, never mind host.

Here are some options you might consider for the wedding-appropriate section of your wardrobe. And to really look the part, remember to invest in a delicate headpiece or fascinator.

1. Mango, Embroidered Tulle Dress, €179.99

Okay, so this floor length tulle, embroidered in sequins is quite the summer stunner. It will be something you’ll have for decades, it’s affordable, but if you’re on a budget, perhaps it’s something you’ll wear for a family affair, where you have to stand out that little bit more.

If you’re trying to be money savvy, remember the KBC Credit Card will give you 1 percent cash back on grocery and online purchases made with the card – up to €10 a month.*

2. Boohoo Cami Lace Midi, €41.48

Ideal for summer time, this warm mint hue is totally fun and fresh. It’s a steal at that price, and you’ll have oodles more occasions to get some use out of it. It’s also available in baby pink if that’s more you.

3. ASOS DESIGN Tall Midi Pencil Skirt in jacquard, €58.07

We are LOVING this garden-fresh and chic ensemble. The skirt – with vivid colours and length giving an elongated effect is stunning paired with a soft silk blouse.

4. ASOS Lace Insert Panelled Midi Dress, €71.89

Navy is forever versatile. You can brighten it up for a summer occasion and keep it classy and chic for the cool winter. In general, it’s a safe option but also quite flattering.

5. Molly Printed Mini Dress from Reiss, €280

Utterly divine. Incredibly summery, and bound to be on-trend for years to come, this dress oozes a fun elegance, and we love it.

6. Zara Polka Dot Halterneck Dress, €25.95

YES! Bring back the polka dots! They’re so classy and Princess Diana-esque. There’s nothing not to love. Pair this with a pair of red heels and a subtle head accessory like below.

Black Flower Spiral Fascinator from Quiz, available at Debenhams, €12

 

7. Red Strappy Tie Waist Fishtail Midi Dress, from Pretty Little Thing, €30

Red is always a stand out colour. Warm, luxurious, perfect for all occasions and seasons, and you’ll be spotted without managing to upstage the bride! A win-win.

8. Tangerine Satin Long Sleeve Wrap Dress, from Pretty Little Thing, €42

Depending on what kind of look you’re into and how much cleavage you deem is wedding appropriate, you may or may not need to invest in a safety pin. Regardless, not everyone can pull off this beautiful colour, so you likely won’t find another guest sporting the same dress. Teamed with heels and a fascinator, it’s incredibly easy to dress it up further.
