Posted at 08:22h in Dresses, Fashion, Party, Partywear, Seasonal by found-store 0 Comments

Thanks in large part to the thing we don’t want to mention that took over everyday life the past couple of years, the traditional wedding season has become somewhat extended. Weddings (in the UK at least) most often took place largely from May to September, with the majority happening in high summer in the hope of sunshine. Since the scheduling nightmare of the past few years, however, we have a far more open wedding calendar to look forward to. No longer do we have to wait until summer to celebrate our loved ones finding their loved ones with a glass of bubbly in hand. Nor must we wait for the sunny months to have a reason to dress up to the nines. Wedding season is now an open-ended affair and with autumn/winter weddings on the horizon, it’s time to unleash your wedding guest creativity and plan your most head-turning wedding guest looks in a whole new light. A beautiful and delightfully crisp, autumnal light. Dreamy. Here are 7 ways to work an autumn wedding guest outfit for 2022.
