What to Wear to an April Wedding
April is here, and alongside the blooming flowers and April showers comes a slew of wedding dates marked on our calendar. Spring weddings are without a doubt some of the most beautiful, but finding the perfect outfit can often be tricky with temps still generally on the chilly side, not to mention the possible threat of rain showers. To get you well and truly prepped for spring wedding season, ahead we’re rounding up the ideal ensembles for every type of ceremony.
Opt for pretty pastel hues (lavender is a huge this season and perfect for weddings) and romantic florals, and don’t be afraid to play with bright and bold colors. A chic and elegant lightweight coat is a great option for outdoor weddings, and a neutral shawl is good to have on hand if you’re donning a sleeveless dress. Chic accessories can really make an outfit, so get inspired by some of our picks below.
