African-inspired Summer Wedding Guest Looks

Get ready for an influx of love and celebrations as summer wedding season kicks into high gear.  To dress stylishly with ease, we have curated a selection of wedding guest outfits to bring vibrant elegance to any wedding this summer. 

Planning a day as monumental as the one that jumpstarts the couple's journey to their "Happily Ever After" involves countless intricate details. Your job as the wedding guest is to show up looking good and help them create the day they have been dreaming of. The wedding nuptials can take on many forms, and your attire must fit the part!  

Destination Wedding 

A destination wedding suggests breezy dresses for women that say elegant yet cool to accommodate the warmer weather. While the fellas may opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics that can still give the distinguished gentleman look. 

Try our Jioni African Print Corset Dress for the ladies. For the men, the Hami African Print Lightweight Blazer and Debare Shorts is a perfectly coordinated look.

Another beautiful option is the Ronke African Print Maxi Dress for women and the Keyon African Print Button-Up Shirt for men in the Sunset Leaves print.

All-White Wedding 

Modern couples are tossing away the long-standing tradition that only the bride can wear white on the wedding day. With themed all-white weddings being in vogue, you will need to make sure your attire aligns. 

Our Marli Embroidered Tunic and Lubanzi Embroidered African Tunic fit the bill with crisp white styling and breathable fabric.

Evening Ceremony 

Evening ceremonies can vary, as you sometimes need to account for cooler summer nights. We have you covered without compromising on style, no matter your location. 

For slightly cooler temperatures, opt for long sleeves that will not leave you overheated. The Zendaya African Print Maxi Dress for women and its matching Chane African Print Button-Up Shirt for men in Jade Amber Adire print is just what you need for a stylishly cultural aesthetic to mark the happy occasion.

If heat will also be a guest at your event, then go for the comfortably, flattering design of our Gazania African Print Stress Dress, along with the Keyon Short Sleeve Button-Up Shirt in Sunset Adire print.
