Guest dress code: dos and don'ts at summer weddings.

Summer is par excellence one of the seasons with the most weddings. Often, we don't know which look to choose: short, long, midi... we're plagued by doubts about protocol and want to choose our outfit wisely.

If you're invited to a ceremony this summer, take note: the dress code isn't a casual suggestion; there are rules. But there are also many ways to interpret them with your own style.

Suitable length .

Midi or long, although there's no written rule, wedding protocol suggests avoiding excessively short dresses, especially if the ceremony is in a church. Ideal: midi or floor-length , depending on the time of the ceremony.

For morning weddings : The midi length is your best friend. Feminine, fresh, and adaptable. Above the knee is acceptable if it's very subtle and balanced with a closed neckline or sleeves.

For evening or night weddings : Long or cocktail dresses in more sophisticated fabrics. Flowing cuts, open backs, and modest necklines are welcome.

Allowed colors (and the big “no’s” of the protocol).

Summer allows for a more vibrant palette, but there are some rules that don't change:

Absolutely no-no: white or ecru, reserved exclusively for the bride. Nor ivory, unless combined with another color that steals the show.

Be careful with black: Although it's more common for evening weddings, it can be inappropriate for a religious ceremony. If you choose it, balance it with colorful accessories and lightweight fabrics.

Jewel tones, powder tones, and pastels are always a hit. From sky blue to emerald green, coral to lavender, bright colors look flattering against the Mediterranean sun.

The look you'll love (and everyone will remember)

Our pick for this summer: the fluorescent pink Vichy Romance set. A look that balances freshness, sophistication, and that romantic air every wedding deserves. Ideal for daytime ceremonies thanks to its fresh, lightweight fabric and vibrant, cheerful color.

Accessories ? You can opt for harmony—sandals and a bucket bag in matching shades—or add an unexpected twist with an accent color: lime green, for example, for a guest who isn't afraid to stand out without standing out.
