I’m not a typical pretty dress and heels kind of girl, so the prospect of picking a new wedding outfit doesn’t usually fill me with excitement. But this spring I have completely fallen for the Erdem and D&G inspired clashing prints trend- and seeing as I like to break convention by wearing trousers to weddings, I can easily translate this into an appropriate outfit.
For accessories, I’d opt for feminine pieces in a light palette but with a grungy edge- metallic shoes and bags are my new favourite and will modernise and balance the pretty florals.
I would love someone to wear this to my wedding this summer, the strong lines and monochrome colours make a real impact and a refreshing change from endless floral dresses. Wedges are also a wedding must, no sinking gently into the lawn!
I’d pick out a long maxi dress in a bright colour like yellow or a bright floral print because weddings should be fun and bright – and you cant go wrong with Matthew Williamson.
A good tan wedge is essential because you are going to be in those heels for a long time, and a tan colour goes with everything. And I’d add a few chunky bangles, a big hat and a clashing clutch.
