I essentially shop occasionwear for a living, and one brand that’s always on my radar is Phase Eight. From pretty floral pieces to statement sparkles and sleeker fitted numbers, you’ll find a wedding guest dress to suit every style and any location.
If you have a wedding invite this autumn/winter or you're last-minute shopping for a summer invite, take a look at the occasionwear collection, as this year they’ve upped the ante and it’s better than ever. Whether you’re heading to a traditional church wedding, a registry office or even jetting off to sunnier climes, I’ve chosen the pieces I would want to wear (and it was hard to narrow it down to just eight).
Spoiler alert: they’re all stunning and suitable for any age, as well as flattering on all figures.

Phase Eight’s Mabelle dress is stunning for a city wedding. Feminine and flattering, it’s the perfect fuchsia shade to make you stand out for all the right reasons. It falls to a maxi length and is available in both petite and regular sizes.
Phase Eight Lucinda Chiffon Print Maxi Dress
The country house wedding guest dress
Phase Eight's new Lucinda dress comes in the most beautiful hand-painted watercolour floral print and flowing maxi silhouette. Perfect for a country house wedding, I'd style it with metallic accessories.
Phase Eight Simara Sequin Pleated Midi Dress
The black tie wedding guest dress
For a show-stopping evening style, the Simara dress is the one. I love the shimmering design with very subtle leopard print, which is accentuated by the flattering pleating and belted waist. I'd style it with black accessories.
Phase Eight Marren Blue Chiffon Pleated Maxi Dress
The lavish wedding guest dress
If you’ve been invited somewhere seriously fancy, Phase Eight’s Marren dress will fit the bill. Both elegant and statement with its cape sleeves and fully pleated, flowing skirt, it also comes in the most gorgeous blue hue.
Phase Eight Marilyn Puff Sleeve Midi Dress
The registry office wedding guest dress
The Marilyn dress has puff sleeves and a flowing skirt. Stylish and flattering but casual and modest enough for a registry office wedding, it comes in a red hue that's suitable for all seasons.
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 Aurelia Floral Dress
The casual wedding guest dress
With its shorter length and sleeveless cut, Phase Eight's Aurelia dress is ideal if the wedding you're attending is a little more casual. Perfect for dancing in, it comes in a beautiful floral print and features a wrap bodice.
