Weddings in March and April have a special charm: the arrival of spring, changing temperatures, and endless options for choosing the perfect look.

Tips for looking radiant as a guest at a spring wedding

Below, we give you some key tips on fabrics, colors, dress cuts, and accessories to keep in mind for a perfect look at any wedding this spring.

1. Choose fabrics suitable for the season

March and April can be unstable months in terms of weather, so it is important
Select fabrics that adapt to any temperature. The best options
include:

  • Chiffon and tulle. They provide lightness and movement, perfect for flowing guest dresses.
  • Crepe. Flattering and elegant, ideal for fitted dresses or two-piece sets.
  • Satins and silks. They add sophistication and work well for evening events.

If the wedding is outdoors, avoid unlined, sheer fabrics, as they can be uncomfortable if it's cold.

2. Colors and prints: What colors are best for spring?

March and April mark the transition from winter to spring, so colors should reflect freshness and elegance.

  • Pastel shades. Sky blue, lavender, mint green, or powder pink are sophisticated and very spring-like options.
  • Vibrant colors. If you're looking for a bolder look, opt for fuchsia, yellow, or emerald green.
  • Floral or geometric prints. They're trendy every season and add a romantic and elegant touch.

If the wedding is at night, you can opt for darker shades like navy blue or burgundy, but always balance them with brighter accessories.

4. Key accessories to complete your guest look

Accessories can transform any outfit and adapt it to the season. For a March or April wedding, consider:

  • Shoes. If the event is outdoors, opt for chunky heels or wedges to avoid sinking into the grass. Indoors, classic stilettos are always a good choice.
  • Handbag. A clutch or tote bag in metallic or neutral tones will complement any look.
  • Jewelry. If you're wearing a statement dress, opt for minimalist pieces. If your look is simpler, try long earrings or statement bracelets.
  • Stoles or capes. This season, it can get chilly in the evening, so pack an elegant option like a blazer, a silk kimono, or a light coat.
