Turn heads—just not as many as the bride—in this cotton and silk dress from Chanel’s spring-summer 2025 ready-to-wear collection. Inspired by the glass-panelled roof of Paris’ Grand Palais—where the collection was shown—it’s a youthful yet refined choice sure to impress your fellow guests. The baby pink hue brings a sense of playfulness, while the black accents add a touch of boldness—especially in the fashion house’s signature bow. It’s a graphic, flattering silhouette with just the right amount of drama.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Classic Shawl
Summer weddings might not require a jacket, but outdoor parties can still get cold once the sun goes down. The tone-on-tone monogram pattern is a tasteful nod to an iconic print, and its soft-hued colour options pay homage to the earth’s natural elements. Made with a blend of silk and wool, it features a Jacquard weave, a slightly shiny finish, and a fringed edge to bring it all together.
