Fashion piece: Pendant hoop
Price: about 50 euros
Can be combined with: Gold and silver jewelery as well as all colors that the wardrobe has to offer. Above all, of course, white.
Wedding vibes: Since the charms on the hoop earrings can be personalised, you can attach the bride’s initials or small hearts to them, for example. The mother-of-pearl also looks very festive.
Elegant because: the earrings are not too big and do not catch the eye too much. They are a subtle yet sweet symbol of the wedding. Whether you are a guest or even the bride.
Black is okay Editor Ilka breaks with traditional wedding dress codes and wears a black polka dot dress by Bonprix to her friend’s wedding. ©PR
Fashion piece: Printed maxi dress by Bonprix
Price: about 30 euros
Can be combined with: Long maxi dresses don’t need a lot of accessories to make them work. Simple strap sandals and the Kate-style polka dot dress shine in all their glory.
Wedding vibes: Black is actually a taboo at weddings because it is the color of mourning. In connection with the small dots, but any melancholy and spring mood is announced. And besides, rules are known to be made to be broken…
Elegant because: Duchess Catherine may not be the boldest of fashionistas, but her looks are always elegant and flattering. For a long time, she has primarily opted for calf-length dresses and is spot on. For the upcoming wedding season I was inspired by her and decided on the polka dot dress by Bonprix. The dress made of 95 percent sustainable viscose nestles incredibly beautifully against the body and visually stretches the legs thanks to the maxi length. And yet it is elastic, so that you can slam it down at the wedding buffet.
Comfortable and elegant Fashion and beauty editor Julika looks forward to dancing through every wedding wearing Massimo Dutti’s strap heels. ©PR
Fashion piece: Strappy sandals by Massimo Dutti
Price: about 100 euros
Can be combined with: everything, because the black pumps make room for every wedding guest dress. Thanks to the narrow straps, however, they don’t look too bulky and look particularly good with a similarly delicate dress – so bring on the slip dress!
Wedding vibes: Due to the small heel, you can dance the whole evening in these heels and definitely don’t have to leave the wedding early. The delicate strap design is also particularly beautiful at outdoor weddings.
Elegant because: the delicate strap fits perfectly around the instep and ankle and makes the foot look extra narrow.
The perfect start to the day For editor Hannah, perfect styling doesn’t just start with the dress. ©PR
Fashion piece: Etam kimono
Price: 40 euros
Wedding vibes: Anyone who is invited to a wedding, or even getting married themselves, usually spends a lot of time in the bathroom on the big day. the Glam session starting out in baggy jogging pants or last night’s pajamas? No thanks! joggo off, kimono on and you immediately feel super elegant. Promised!
Elegant because: The kimono impresses with its silky look and elegant lace inserts. The timeless khaki color also makes my reddish hair and complexion shine. So I feel chic for the special day even before I slip into the noble dress.

Fashion piece: Colorful graphic print maxi dress from Essentiel Antwerp
Price: about 225 euros
Can be combined with: The pink, blue and green tones offer many possible combinations. I either pick up one of the colors in my accessories or pick up accessories in more muted colors. If the pumps are exchanged for sneakers at some point during the celebration, that doesn’t detract from the outfit either.
Wedding vibes: I love bold colors, especially for a summer wedding. Due to the maxi length and the long sleeves, you can wear the dress wonderfully in church. The material is very light, so you don’t sweat.
Elegant because: a very elegant look can be conjured up with pumps or high sandals and a clutch.
