<-h2->Wedding guest dresses sorted by colour<-h2-> Colour is the first decision with wedding guest dresses, and rarely the simplest. This edit sorts the collection by shade, from pale neutrals and dusty pastels through to deeper jewel tones, warm brights and black, across satin, crepe and chiffon. Shade carries setting. A soft lilac reads right in a garden in July and heavy in a stone church in February, while a deep emerald does the opposite, and knowing which side of that line you are on is most of the work. Leave white to the couple and everything else opens up. Satin holds light. Crepe holds shape. Chiffon moves through an afternoon and into the evening without complaint. There is real pleasure in choosing a colour you will want to see again in photographs years later, rather than one that simply matched the invitation. Wear it once for someone else, then many times for yourself. Colour chosen properly outlasts the day it was bought for.
