It’s that time of year again — we are talking, of course, about Wedding Season. From late spring to early autumn, it can feel like everyone you know is tying the knot. Whether you’re jetting off for a few destination weddings, heading to the countryside for a bohemian garden wedding or you’re city-bound for a stylish urban wedding, chances are, your fridge is filling up with flower-embossed invites for the months ahead.

The big question is, as always, what to wear. While you may have some cute little sundresses that are perfect for that afternoon outdoor ceremony, things get a little trickier when you get an invite to an evening-only celebration in the summer. The secret is to find the perfect cocktail attire and that is just elevated enough without being too showy.

Naturally, we’ve got you covered with some styling ideas for that evening wedding invite.

A classic LBD

It’s a classic for a reason. Sometimes, nothing is more chic, more timeless, more show-stopping than the effortless little black dress. Commit to the moment by styling your favourite LBD with all-black accessories — a pair of strappy heels, a classic little black clutch and even a swipe of black cate eyeliner can add even more drama to the look without being over powering. Finish it off with a few simple touches of silver or gold jewellery.
