There are few things I love more than sweet summertime! Depending on your location, summer can mean hiking through gorgeous national parks, spending days on the lake surrounded by majestic mountains, sunbathing by the ocean, or dining with loved ones along the Northeast coast. 

However, if your social calendar is anything like mine, your weekends quickly fill up with summer wedding celebrations, which call for some serious shopping (and not just for wedding gifts!)

Here at RegistryFinder, we’re all about helping you find and shop your friends’ registries—but we also believe in treating yourself! If you’re looking for the perfect outfit for the summer weddings on your calendar, we’ve got you covered. From breezy beachside celebrations to elegant estate gatherings, we’ve curated our favorite looks for daytime and evening summer weddings.

 Summer Daytime Wedding Lookbook: Outdoor “I Do’s”

When searching for the perfect attire for your loved one’s outdoor “I do’s,” light and breathable fabrics are the way to go—especially in the summer! We recommend gravitating toward a color palette of pastels, such as pale blue, dusty pink, and, of course, the color of the season: butter yellow!

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect yellow dress for this summer, we cannot recommend this chiffon tie-strap midi dress enough!

When attending an outdoor event, we highly recommend opting for a chunky heel. They are not only incredibly comfortable, but also practical—the wider heel provides added support, so you won’t have to worry about your shoes sinking into the ground of your event space.

We adore these peep-toe sandals from Amazon. With multiple color options and the added bonus of two-day shipping, you’ll be comfortable enough to dance all day!

 Summer Daytime Wedding Lookbook: Breezy Beachside

If a breezy beachside wedding is on your agenda, you’ll want to click add to cart on these bold and beautiful looks! While light and breathable fabrics are a must when shopping for beach wedding guest attire, we also recommend choosing an outfit you won’t mind getting a little (or a lot) sandy.

One of our favorite casual beach wedding looks is this gorgeous two-piece set from Lilly Pulitzer. Featuring the Mandalay crop pants, it’s sure to make dusting off the sand a breeze!

No wedding guest’s look is complete without some statement jewelry. And what better way to embrace the breezy beachside wedding theme than with these adorable starfish earrings and a seashell adjustable bracelet?
