# Pretty in Pinks
Pink is always a favourite choice for weddings, not just for the bridesmaids, but also for the guests. More neutral outfits that will also make everyday wear can be jazzed up and enlivened with bolder, brighter accessories like this soft pink corsage which is so versatile! It can be used as a hair accessory and a brooch.

If a short dress is your occasion wear of choice then consider a matching dress and jacket or a Knee coat. Two piece dressing is always so easy, and when it is in a rich lush fabric like this Hobbs purple outfit who could resist.
If you select a floral frock or maxi dress, you would not be out of place this year. Just make sure that the fabric is good quality and the print flattering. Imagine how you will view the photos in a decade or two so make sure your outfit is the one you’ll remember for all the right reasons, not the wrong reasons.
