6 Destination Wedding Guest Looks To Recreate
From al-fresco Tuscan nuptials to Ibizian beachside celebrations, this edit of destination wedding guest looks will cover all bases, whatever the landing place. Wedding season is in full swing, and while we are well-prepped for city registry office looks and traditional country affairs, when the invites specify beachside ceremonies, it’s time to rethink the dress code.
Structured silhouettes and formal designs are to be swapped for floaty styles, cut-out details and breathable fabrics that are fun and free-spirited, much like the bride and groom themselves. Scroll to see eight looks we love borrowed from the squares of Instagram and how you can recreate them too…

Beachfront weddings bring an air of bohemia to the event, so it feels natural to lean into that vibe with a relaxed look.
