What to Wear to a Summer Wedding
When it comes to dressing for a summer wedding, it’s all about striking the balance between elegance and ease. At Lily Rou, our founder Georgie knows a thing or two about creating pieces that do just that - timeless silhouettes cut in luxurious silk, designed to be worn with confidence.
Here, she shares her curated edit of wedding guest outfits that embody modern femininity, relaxed glamour, and that signature Lily Rou touch.
Slip Into Something Special
There’s a reason the silk slip dress remains a forever favourite. It skims the body, moves beautifully, and always feels like a considered choice - even when you’ve thrown it on minutes before leaving the house. For wedding season, Georgie recommends one of our timeless silk slips featuring our unique hand-drawn prints. Pair with minimal heels, gold jewellery, and a sweep of bronzer for a look that transitions from ceremony to dance floor effortlessly.
“I love the Coral V-neck Slip for its understated beauty and subtle detail - the low V front and back neckline and feminine print make it a go-to for warm summer weddings.” – Georgie, Founder
Short & Sweet
Not every wedding requires full-length formality. For garden celebrations, city ceremonies, or more relaxed affairs, a mini dress offers the perfect playful alternative. The Mini Bandeau Slip, with its flirty hemline and strapless neckline, is ideal for showing a little leg while keeping things polished. Style with statement earrings and wedges for a nod to playful charm.
For the Maximalists
Prefer something with a little more movement? Our Classic 90’s Slip Dresses feature spaghetti straps, a sweeping skirt, and our hand-drawn prints, adding that unique edge to a timeless look. They're your go-to for destination weddings, sea-view dinners and golden hour moments.
“I love the classic 90's style - its timeless but has character with each print telling a story. My wardrobe staple for every occasion.”
Style Notes
The key to summer wedding dressing is comfort without compromise. Every piece in Lily Rou’s collection is handmade in our London studio using the highest quality sandwashed silk - lightweight, breathable, and luxurious against the skin. These are dresses you’ll want to wear long after the last champagne glass is cleared.
Finishing Touches
- Heels or flats? Start with heels, change to flats when the dance floor opens.
- Hair? Keep it undone - a loose bun or beachy wave complements the laid-back elegance.
- Accessories? Think minimal. Let the silk do the talking.
