Wedding guest
Welcome the wedding season. Because no two love stories are the same - and so are our dresses. Is it better to wear a maxi dress or a cocktail dress? Summery, colorful or more subtle? A dress or a chic jumpsuit? The huge selection doesn't necessarily make it easy for us ladies as wedding guests, but it does make it wonderfully varied. To feel good, you can confide in the bride, talk to other guests or be inspired by the wedding motto.
DOS:
- Absolute eye-catchers: trendy cut-outs, special details, floral prints

Bridesmaid
Your best friend's wedding is coming up! As the anticipation builds, the question naturally arises: what outfit should I choose as a bridesmaid? To get the perfect look, it's best to talk to the other bridesmaids and the bride. The goal here is a harmonious ensemble that puts the bride in the spotlight.
DOS:
- restrained colors such as a delicate rosé or a noble navy blue, as well as a pastel mint
- Dresses with classic, elegant cuts
- Individuality. Let the color theme guide you and find a dress in which you feel most comfortable and shine on your wedding day
Don'ts:
- avoid eye-catching patterns and colors
- Important to know: White and ivory are reserved exclusively for the bride, unless she specifically specifies otherwise!
Our tip: Don't forget to bring tissues for the tears of joy and flat shoes for the celebration afterwards!

mother of the bride & mother of the groom
The wedding bells will soon be ringing and your daughter or son will be getting married! For this special occasion, every mother wants to shine with pride in her look. Depending on the style of the wedding and the wishes of the bride and groom, you can choose a cocktail or evening dress. For a sporty, chic look, a jumpsuit is also a wonderful eye-catcher that will always ensure you are perfectly dressed.
DOS:
- Dresses with an A-line skirt: They skilfully accentuate the waist and visually lengthen your silhouette
- the classic sheath dress: the absolute figure flatterer! With a delicate chiffon cover, it conceals and at the same time skillfully loosens up the look
- For church weddings, a delicate stole or bolero jacket completes your look perfectly
Don'ts:
- Do not choose a long evening dress if the bride also chooses a short wedding dress. This often looks overdressed.
Our tip: Also talk to the groom's mother so that your looks create a harmonious picture for a perfect souvenir photo.
And don't forget about comfort! It's going to be a long, eventful day, so choose a look and shoes that make you feel comfortable from start to finish.
