Everyone knows it can take the bride a while to find her perfect wedding dress, but guests at the ceremony may also have trouble finding themselves an outfit.
Offering some advice on the subject, Perfect Wedding magazine editor Helen Webster said that prom-style frocks are perfect for summer nuptials.
This is because they can be worn to more than one event if a lucky lady receives several wedding invitations and can be accessorised in different ways.
She suggested that women "pick a dress in that style with a plain fabric – maybe a pale pink, one of the nude tones which are quite big on the high street at the moment".
These are often strapless and feature a full skirt and sweetheart neckline.
To bring some colour to the outfit, Ms Webster suggested adding a sash ribbon or bright corsage and shoes. Similarly, a beaded shrug can also be used as a cover-up.
Research conducted by Direct Line recently revealed that guests spend an average of £294 on preparations and wedding gifts for the big day.
