Your Guide to Wedding Season Style in 2022
Can you feel the love? Wedding season — all the joys of dressing up and showering the celebratory couple — is officially here. We’ve detailed our top gift ideas (always luxe and sure to delight) and outfit picks that’ll have you set for a front-row seat at the ceremony.
Get with the Dress Code
Heading to a wedding is always a good excuse to go all out in the style department.
Timely Trends
If the wedding festivities fall between April and September, bloom-printed pieces feel very of the moment. The key is to play with scale: try a magnified, painterly take or opt for an organic intricate print for a more subtle payoff. Guys can even take part in the floral trend, too (think ties, pocket squares or even a macro-printed blazer.)

Wedding season is a chance to really have fun and explore different styles. Try playing with different textures, bold colours and even making a statement with voluminous sleeves—making you the chicest attendee.

Total Adornment
Nothing takes an understated outfit to new heights like extra-special accessories. Pint-sized purses keep your must-haves collected, while chunky-heeled sandals allow for all-night dancing (not to mention, a stable step for outdoor ceremonies). Throw in a hair piece — headbands and bejeweled barrettes always looks pretty — and you’re all set.
Going Glam
Our big day beauty essentials? Luminous foundation, bold lipstick and eye-popping-meets-waterproof mascara. If you gravitate towards the no-makeup makeup look, invest in fresh-faced essentials like a tinted moisturizer with SPF plus triple-duty cream blush which can be worn on the cheeks, lips and eyes.

Give the Perfect Gift
A considered mix of thoughtful and unique, these presents are sure to be cherished by the new couple.
Go Big
Set them up for success in their new home with big ticket items that’ll have real value in their coupled-up abode: a cordless vacuum to make house cleaning a breeze, an air humidifier-slash-purifier to freshen up the space or a high-tech espresso maker to make their morning cup that much better.

Kitchen Confidential
Spark some culinary creativity with an out-of-the-ordinary approach to classic cookery. We love the idea of gifting a novel specialty appliance: a pasta maker, air fryer or even a portable pizza oven will undoubtedly be at the centre of their next date night.
Above and Beyond
If you really want to spoil them, pick up some elevated presents they would never think to get themselves. Plush robes, a sumptuous hand soap-and-lotion combination, a new set of sheets with an off-the-charts thread count (or all three!), let them savour a bit of that wedded bliss a little longer.
