Spring wedding season brings its own particular dilemma: something that photographs beautifully, respects the dress code, and doesn't leave you overheating by the second course. Here are three spring wedding guest dresses we'd reach for, depending on the wedding.
For a relaxed garden or vineyard wedding: Clara
A delicate floral print framed by a soft green check, with a frilled neckline and puff sleeves. Clara has a nostalgic, country-garden feel that suits an outdoor ceremony perfectly — and breathable linen means you'll stay comfortable through a long reception.

For a daytime or beachside wedding: Marina
A watercolour blue stripe on breathable cotton, with a softly gathered neckline and puff sleeves. Marina is the easiest of the three to wear — relaxed, unfussy, and just as suited to sand as it is to a marquee.

For something a little more tailored: Cybil
A striking cornflower blue linen shirt dress with a removable tie waist, so you can define the waist for a dressier look or wear it loose. A good pick if the invitation calls for something with a bit more structure.

A few things to keep in mind
- Check the dress code first — “cocktail” and “garden formal” call for different things, and all three dresses above can be dressed up or down with the right shoes and jewellery.
- Natural fibres matter more at a wedding than anywhere else — you're often outdoors, often for hours, and linen and cotton breathe in a way synthetics simply don't.
- Pockets aren't optional — all three dresses have them, so you can leave the tiny clutch at home.
