Plus Size Wedding Guest Trends

Of course, we don’t want to take away the attention from the happy couple, but here is a list of the current trends & styles that we have seen for plus size wedding guests, so you can step out in style at the next big occasion.

  • Colour! Long gone are the days that plus size dresses for weddings are always the colour black! Arrive at your next big occasion with colour and vibrancy. Some of our predicted styles for the upcoming wedding guest season include: orange& lilac purple, which are gorgeous in the sun!
  • Pink: feminine and fun, pink occasion wear & dresses are making an appearance in the plus size fashion world of weddings. Big & bright, we think wearing pink is perfect, no matter what the weather. Play it up with a pink power suit or play it down with some trusty pink prints!
  • Florals: What’s spring summer without florals? Florals can really be a game changer when it comes to occasion wear and a fun floral can be a real life saver!

Occasion Wear Styles for Plus Size Women

If you really want to turn heads at your next big occasion, we’ve whittled down out favourite styles of dresses for a plus size wedding guest. These dresses and details are firm favourites with our customers – and lucky for you we have some gorgeous options ready to go for you to peruse!

    • ¾ Sleeves: We all want a sunny day for a wedding, but sometimes that can be a bit daunting. ¾ sleeves are the perfect response to keeping cool and comfortable for those who might want just that little bit of a coverage on a sunny wedding day! Ulla Popken are always our go-to for 3/4 length sleeves and comfortable occasion wear pieces. 
    • Midi Dresses: Get the pins out! Midi dresses are stunning to wear, and offer the perfect amount of leg. We always encourage our customers to embrace themselves and not to shy away from long, shapeless clothes.  Plus size fashion has evolved! And we know what we’re talking about…We'd recommend Zizzi for midi length. 
    • Little Details: Sometimes less is more. Some our plus size dresses have gorgeous details, and those little details make the difference when it comes to quality.

The most important thing about a wedding is looking and feeling amazing! We want our customers to feel confident in their clothing choices, which is why we offer such a wide range of plus size clothing for every occasion.
