Experts at the fashion brand NEXT have revealed the best colours to wear to a summer wedding this season, and what to avoid. When it comes to wedding guest dresses, some brides prefer guests to steer clear of shades that are too light, for example cream, off-white garments and white. If you find yourself wondering whether the colour is too close to white, it's best to check with the bride first.

This summer, pastels and more muted tones are set to come into their own at weddings both in the UK and abroad. Softer shades make the ideal choice for a wedding guest outfit, so as not to draw too much attention by being too loud but still feeling seasonal and making a statement.

Butter yellow - It's no secret that butter yellow is having a moment this spring/summer, and the pastel shade is a great choice for those heading to a wedding abroad, just make sure to opt for a shade that isn't too light and could be considered off-white. Instead, choose something vibrant.

Dusky blue - As a muted tone, dusky blue is an easy shade to make you appear polished with minimal effort. Pairing this colour with gold accessories will warm up the look for a summer occasion and also add a luxe feel. This colour also works well in a variety of different materials - whether a satin slip dress or cotton maxi - it's very versatile.

Pistachio green - Shades of green are proving ever popular with bridal parties this season, with many bridesmaids being dressed in sage-coloured bridesmaids' dresses but if you are attending a wedding where this isn't the case, a pistachio green dress is a great choice as it feels modern, tapping into the current trend, but also timeless and elegant.

Lavender - Another popular shade for wedding guest dresses this season is lavender or lilac. Being a more romantic shade, it is perfect for weddings in an outdoor or garden setting. Pairing this colour with some silver sandals and a matching clutch bag will help you add a touch of glamour to your summery look.

Brown - It may feel like more of an autumn/winter shade, but brown wedding guest dresses for summer are also going to be popular this season. Opt for lighter shades like mocha or taupe, depending on your skin tone, avoiding darker shades like chocolate brown, which should be reserved for later in the year and accessorise with gold tones to warm up the look.

Polka dots - Whilst it’s not a colour specifically, it’s also worth mentioning that polka dot patterns are trending this wedding season and also make a beautiful choice for those who would prefer not to wear a solid colour. We’re seeing lots of monochrome colour schemes in this pattern, which feel timeless and elegant.
