Sequin Embroidered Long Dress in Italian Plum
$5,440Purple dresses for weddings and formal events
Purple is a strong guest colour: lilac and lavender for a daytime ceremony, plum and amethyst for an evening reception. See our wedding guest dresses and evening gowns.
How to style a purple dress
Silver and crystal suit cool lilacs and lavenders; gold warms up plum. Nude and metallic shoes keep the look clean, and a touch of green makes purple feel modern.
Frequently asked questions
What colour shoes go with a purple dress?
Nude, silver and gold shoes all work. Silver suits lilac and lavender, gold suits plum, and black sharpens a dark purple dress for evening.
What is the difference between lilac and lavender?
Both are pale purples. Lilac is slightly pinker and warmer, while lavender is a little bluer and greyer.
Is purple a good colour for a wedding guest?
Yes. Pale lilac and lavender suit spring and summer weddings, and plum suits autumn, winter and evening receptions. Check that the bridesmaids are not in purple first.
