Garden parties take place in the morning and last until late afternoon. This gives you the option to wear either super casual or more dressy attire. Some of the parties may have a dress code depending on the occasion. The best option is to keep it casual and without a lot of accessories like a few necklaces, bracelets or rings. Try to keep it pretty simple, feeling good is important. You can achieve this with good materials like cotton, silk or linen.
I’m going to write about some of the outfits for a garden party. You will see that they are easy to wear and easy to combine. Most importantly, you can enjoy the party and feel comfortable in your outfit.
Let’s see how you can be cool and elegant at the same time.
Sunflowers on your dress
Floral textiles are very popular and easy to combine. You don’t need to have any fashion knowledge to put together this outfit. The dress is more than enough that you can just add a nice wicker cover and sandals in a neutral color. This combo is even perfect for dressier parties as it can be worn at any time of the day.
Elegant touch
On the other hand, if you are having a garden wedding party or something that requires a dressier dress code, dress a little differently than Outfit 1. High heels are a must here as there are no flair sandals to wear with this guy can combine the cut and the material of the dress. Flowers on it are a nice detail as adding just subtle jewelry like pearls or silver chains is enough.
Ruffled great dress
This beautiful dress with lace and beading details is ideal for garden parties. Tulle is comfortable, you can look quite elegant, but you should not overdo it, especially if the occasion is organized during the day. The midi length is convenient, you don’t have to worry about showing too much.
Pair it with high heels, beachy waves with long hair and you will be the main attraction at the party.
Striped
The striped waistband dress is definitely something that every girl should have in her closet. You can combine it with high heels, platform sandals or flats. They will also make a great mix with Chuck Taylor or flip flops.
The dress is usually made of cotton, which means it’s very comfortable. It can be worn long or short depending on the occasion. The outfit from the photo above is combined with flat sandals and a beautiful hat.
vintage dress
The trapeze mini dress is the perfect vintage dress for a garden party in my opinion. It is amazingly embellished with vintage-inspired beadwork and sequin designs. The golden yellow color of the dress with sequined red flowers goes surprisingly well together. Here you can add some more jewelry, preferably a bracelet and ring. Adding a nice hat adds a nice touch to the outfit.
safari feeling
I love safari clothing. They are in warm but still neutral shades of beige and army green. These dresses are perfect to wear all day long. This button-down safari outfit can be complemented with a belt or, even better, a rope belt in the photo above.
If you are throwing a safari themed garden party, this is the perfect outfit.
Classic teal
For those who like classics, no print, lace and sequins, this chic turquoise dress is for you. This elegant dress can be worn for both day garden parties and night events. In combination with crossed striped platform sandals, they offer the perfect mix of elegant and casual outfits. Just pair a gorgeous gold bracelet with this outfit and you won’t go wrong going to the party in this dress!
Sleeveless tuxedo dress
I would say this dress is different. Inspired by men, the contemporary tailored tuxedo dress is for girls with an attitude. With this outfit you achieve a classic and modern look at the same time. My suggestion is to combine it with white sneakers, a small bag and minimalist jewelry like rings and bracelets.
Boho chic
Boho is perfect for these occasions. If you are going to a garden party, you can always count on bohemian dresses. The outfit in the photo above includes a maxi dress, black boots and a long necklace. Despite this, the dress has many lace details. Therefore, use make-up and jewelry moderately and let the dress speak for itself. You can be sure that you will be seen at the party!
Red is always a good idea
Yes, the red dress is always a good choice if you are unsure about the other outfit ideas. Everyone probably has a red piece in their closets. I want to say that a red dress is the same as a little black one. You can always use it to look fabulous and elegant at the same time. This type of outfit is perfect for outdoor parties, it gives an impression of the good old days.
Finally, I will just give you a few tips on what to avoid when shopping for a garden party dress. Try to keep it classy. Avoid experimenting with the prints, like an animal print. Don’t buy clothes that are bright and vibrant. I would rather choose neutral or classic (black, gray and red). Avoid knitwear and choose lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, and chiffon. Materials like satin and velvet are definitely for the evening parties.
You should choose good sunglasses and a hat like a fedora or a knitted one. If you are brave enough and can combine it with your outfit, consider buying a summer umbrella. Women have been wearing this accessory to garden parties since the 1940s.
