Phase Eight Rakhi Scuba Fit and Flare Midi Dress
The church wedding guest dress
With its summery floral print and fit and flare style, Phase Eight’s Rakhi Scuba Dress is a stunner. The muted navy is the perfect backdrop for the pretty pattern, and features a flattering v-neck and church-appropriate midi length. Super easy to style, I’d wear it with nude accessories and delicate jewellery, and if a fascinator is called for, I’d choose a cream design.
Phase Eight Mabelle Organza Maxi Dress
The registry office wedding guest dress
Phase Eight’s Mabelle dress can be made as formal or casual as the occasion calls for. Falling to a maxi length, it’s available in both petite and regular sizes. Feminine and flattering, it’s the perfect fuschia shade to make you stand out for all the right reasons.
Phase Eight Becka Fringe Maxi Dress
The black tie wedding guest dress
For a show-stopping evening style, the Becka dress is the one. I love the shimmering ombre design, which is accentuated by the flattering tie detail at the waist. It also features a feminine V-back and a maxi length. I'd style it with metallic accessories.
Phase Eight Minty Sequin Bodice Maxi Dress
The lavish wedding guest dress
If you’ve been invited somewhere seriously fancy, Phase Eight’s Minty dress will fit the bill. The understated navy hue is balanced with a glamorous sequin top half, and the classic wrap fitting is forever flattering. It has sweet flutter sleeves and a maxi length.
Phase Eight Lucinda Print Dress
The beach wedding guest dress
If you’re lucky enough to be heading to a beach wedding, Phase Eight has the perfect piece. The Lucina dress is lightweight, halter neck and has a floaty cut that’s ideal for warmer weather. Adorned in a beautiful botanical print, I’d style it with gold heels and matching jewellery.
Phase Eight Julissa Wide Leg Jumpsuit
The casual wedding guest dress
A jumpsuit is a stylish alternative to a dress for wedding guest season, and this one is ideal if the summer wedding you're attending is a little more casual. It is available in a cool blue shade and has a wide-leg silhouette, ideal for dancing in. I'd wear it with platform heels.
