What to wear to a wedding?
When you receive a wedding invitation, choosing the perfect outfit can sometimes be stressful. Luckily, we've enlisted the help of an expert in this field to help you navigate through the style choices and find the perfect outfit to shine at this special event. We have had the pleasure of working with an experienced wedding planner, Andrée-Anne Tessier, founder and owner of the company Signée Andrée-Anne, to get her precious tips and advice. With this entrepreneur's years of experience in the wedding industry, combined with Le WeekEnd Collections' cutting-edge clothing expertise, it's certain that by the end of your reading, you'll be better informed on how to find the perfect outfit that matches your style, current trends and the mood of the event.
The Romantic Style
The romantic style is a perfect choice for those who want to capture the essence of love and romance at a wedding. This style is characterised by fluid, wispy fabrics such as viscose, crepe and linen, which gently envelop the body and create graceful movement with every step. The colours associated with the romantic style are often feminine and soft, such as powder pink, sky blue and off-white, evoking a delicate and enchanting atmosphere. Cuts are often fitted at the waist to enhance the feminine silhouette with delicate details such as ruffles, laces and bows adding an extra touch of femininity. Opt for long, elegant dresses or short gowns, all made in flowing, delicate fabrics, to create a romantic, timeless look that will turn heads at any wedding.
In the boutique, you'll find items from the Twinset collections, the brand that embodies femininity, elegance and romance par excellence. In addition, you can find some Luisa Cerano items that go perfectly with this style.
Relaxed Style With a Rustic Feel
The relaxed rustic look is characterised by an abundance of texture, prints and pleats, creating a natural vibrant aesthetic. More rustic materials, such as linen and viscose, add an authentic, earthy feel. Straight cuts and loose-fitting garments contribute to a relaxed, carefree look that falls naturally on the body. With a limitless colour palette, that emphasizes the cut and the material styles rather than specific shades. This style is so versatile that it can be worn every day, bringing a casual elegance that is suitable for all occasions, not just special events.
In our store, Tonet dresses and Purotatto pieces are irrevocably key examples to illustrate this style, but you can also find some fluid, casual items with Saint James, Max Volmary, Oui and Marc Cain.
The Elegant Look
The name says it all: it's a style of clothing you can never go wrong with. "Elegant" is characterised by timeless classicism and unmistakable class. The clothes in this style have a sophisticated, professional look and are carefully selected for their ability to transcend passing trends. Neutral colours and timeless prints predominate, lending a touch of sobriety and refinement to each outfit. This style embodies "quiet luxury", where luxury is subtly expressed through impeccable cuts, quality materials and subtle but carefully thought-out details. It evokes a timeless elegance and refinement that never goes out of fashion.
Naturally, we offer a number of pieces in our boutique in this style. You'll find them in Purotatto and Luisa Cerano, where they offer dresses, as well as blazers and trousers for a professional, distinguished style. We've also pulled out a few items from the Oui and Marc Cain groups.
Our Tips
To complete your wedding outfit, we've put together a few useful tips with the help of Andrée-Anne.
- First of all, don't forget the accessories to add a touch of elegance and style to your look. We offer a careful selection of accessories to complete your outfit, from delicate jewelry to sophisticated bags. Cinzia Rocca, one of our favourite in-store brands, offers a variety of handbags and scarves to dress up your outfits. You can also enhance your look with our selection of Beblue jewelry, which offers both trendy and timeless styles.
- Next, consider adding a piece over the top, such as a stole or light jacket, to protect you from cool evening temperatures or air conditioning. We offer a range of pieces for this situation, combining style and functionality. Whether it's a Marc Cain denim jacket, a Repeat cardigan, a light Purotatto jacket or a Luisa Cerano blazer, one thing's for sure: you're guaranteed to find something to keep you a little warmer at WeekEnd Collections!
- Third tip: it's essential to stay true to your own style and personality when choosing your outfit. Choose pieces in which you feel comfortable, at ease and confident, so that you can enjoy the event to the full without feeling dressed up. Don't forget to choose materials that are appropriate for the season. For example, opt for light, airy fabrics like linen for summer weddings, while warmer, textured fabrics like wool may be preferable for fall and winter weddings. Matching fabrics to the season will not only ensure your comfort, but also a stylish look that's well suited to the event.
- To avoid unpleasant surprises, start shopping early, but not too early either. The ideal time is a few months before the wedding, when you know more about the style and theme of the wedding. By coming early, you can have a wider choice of styles and sizes, especially at the WeekEnd Collections where our sizes are in high demand and the quantities are limited. This will give you time to make any minor alterations. When you visit, don't forget to bring the shoes you plan to wear on the big day. This will help provide a better idea of your complete outfit and allow you to receive expert advice from our consultants.
- Furthermore, make sure to validate the wedding colour chart. If the bride and groom have specified particular colours, it's always best to respect their choice. If no colours are specified, choose tones that harmonise with the theme and atmosphere of the event. This will help create a coherent and elegant atmosphere, where every detail counts, including the guests' outfits.
- Finally, make the most of your visit to the boutique. Take the time to treat yourself by choosing an outfit that reflects your personal style and enhances your natural beauty. Let our consultants guide you to find the perfect piece that will make you shine at that special event. It's time to be inspired by our collections and find the perfect piece to create unforgettable memories!
