This summer heralds the return of an unbridled, restriction-free wedding season! But as many of us have been wearing loungewear on repeat for the past couple of years, we’ve compiled some top tips for dressing as a wedding guest in case, like us, you’ve forgotten how to do it…

1. Consider the dress code
Check the wedding invitation to see if a particular style has been requested by the happy couple. Whether it’s black tie or smart-casual, you’ll find something to fit the bill at Next. Don’t fret if the invite doesn’t give you any pointers though; instead think about the type of venue hosting the big day. A floaty, floral maxi-dress might work for a countryside barn wedding, while a sequinned cocktail number could be a match for a city rooftop reception.
2. Don’t forget the weather
No matter the time of year in Scotland, it pays to wear a layer! Think chic blazers for ladies, cute bobble cardis for little girls, and effortlessly cool linen jackets for the guys, so no-one need be caught short with the shivers.
3. Co-ordinate the whole family
Next makes it easy to pull together looks so that mums, dads and little ones can all boast impeccably co-ordinated wedding attire. We can’t wait to see your Instagram snaps.
4. Accessorise all areas
Put your own spin on your outfit with the unrivalled accessory selection available. Jazz up his suit with a floral tie, stash your phone and makeup in a covetable clutch.
