As a wedding guest you want balance between elegance and discretion: avoid white and shades too close to the bride while expressing your style. Cocktail, long dress or chic set: the invitation dress code is your first reference.
In Cannes, Autour D'Un Soir offers short and long dresses for rental or purchase, with fitting. See also buy or rent and accessories.
Our collections
Read the dress code
Rustic: flowing, floral, midi length. Chic: cocktail or simple long. Black tie: long dress for very formal evenings.
When in doubt, an elegant midi in a deep colour (blue, green, burgundy) is safe. Ask the couple if a colour theme applies.
Colours and pitfalls
White, ivory and ecru are for the bride. Very pale pastels can also blur in photos. Prefer rich colours or discreet floral prints.
For an evening wedding on the Riviera, light fabrics with a shawl or bolero for cooler air work well.
Rent or buy?
4-day rental suits an outfit worn once or twice. Buying makes sense for several weddings or galas in a year.
In-store fitting: confirm length, comfort seated and harmony with your shoes.
Shoes and finishing touches
Stable heels for dancing, matching clutch, understated jewellery. Test the full look in the fitting room.
Our shoes and accessories guide covers coordination.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, unless the couple says otherwise. Black is elegant for an evening wedding.
Depends on dress code and time: cocktail for afternoon, long often for evening or black tie.
