Wedding dressing

For our wedding season-edit, we asked our dear friend Lauren T Franks, a London-based stylist and linen connoisseur to style our linen piece for the wedding season.
Here are Lauren’s top five summer wedding outfits and how to style them.
“There's a fine art to wedding guest dressing that's about scrubbing yourself up, but not overdoing it (or - heaven forbid - out-dressing the bride). Linen strikes the perfect tone for summer invitations; lightweight enough to stand the heat, smart enough for more formal events, and just the right sprinkle of laid-back-cool.”
“A full skirt always look fabulous at a wedding. Contrast the richly gathered fabric with a crisp, white shirt (tucked-in), hot-red lips and delicate pointed flat shoes for a nod to 1950s glamour.”
Shop the Pia Wrap Shirt & Paulina Midi Skirt & Zero-Waste linen scrunchie
“A little top (which can be tied multiple ways) to throw over your slip dress, and kitten heeled sandals is just the ticket for summer layering.”
Shop the Anna Blouse & Gerda Slip Dress
“Wearing black can be divisive at a wedding, but less traditional events often have looser dress-codes. Dial up the impact of this striking linen jumpsuit by pairing it with graphic accessories in bold, acidic, or juicy colours (think lime green, orange or lilac), and top with some statement, sculptural silver earrings. The cost-per-wear of buying something for a wedding that you will continue to wear all year round also get's my vote!”
“These amazing, tailored linen trousers strike just the right balance between smart and laid-back. Wear with the matching Lolo top for a contemporary take on summer suiting. Accessorise with platform raffia peep-toe sandals for a touch of modern-disco glamour - see you on the dance floor.”

“Don’t forget a coat! In the UK we often don't have the best weather... so not considering your outerwear to a summer wedding is risky business. If the sun doesn't shine on the big day choosing a co-ordinated light-weight jacket that works tonally with your outfit is important. And try not to forget it at the end of the night!”
