The biggest event of the year is nearly upon us, from the engagement ring to that eagerly awaited dress, Kate Middleton and Prince William’s wedding on April 29 is set to be one stylish affair.

If you’re a guest at a wedding this summer, take a look at Greenwich Shopping Park’s top outfit choices to make sure you look the part without upstaging the bride.

Full length glamour

The maxi dress has been around for a few seasons, and it definitely isn’t going out of fashion any time soon.

The full length look is ideal for an outdoor wedding on a hot day. There’s an array of styles available to suit every figure; from floaty numbers that glide over problem areas to the more fitted maxi that nips in to accentuate curves.

We adore this Royal Blue Maxi, £38, from Next which is elegant and regal in both colour and shape. The added beauty of the full length number is that you can skip the heels in favour of a pair of gladiator sandals – your feet will definitely thank you!

A touch of vintage

If you like adding a vintage vibe to your outfits, prints and patterns from all the decades are hitting the shelves this season.

Think headscarves, costume jewellery, statement brooches and beaded belts to add that classic touch to a plain dress.

This fantastic 70’s inspired cape dress, £39.99, from New Look has caught our eye and just shows how the boho look can be created without trawling the rails of an over-priced vintage store.

Team with some neutral coloured heels or cork wedges for the ultimate retro statement. These brown buckled court shoes, £26.99, also from New Look create the perfect finish to a swinging seventies look.

Fit for a Princess

Fitted tunics and prom dresses are the ideal countryside wedding look. Choose between pastel shades and floral prints to keep your look feminine and soft, but remember plain whites and creams are a no-go if you want to stay on the right side of the bride!

We love this pansy border print dress, £36, from Topshop at OUTFIT. Add a pair of nude patent heels or chunky platforms to step the ‘little house on the prairie’ look up a gear.
