Wedding Guest Dressing, Decoded: With Meg & Harry
From slow mornings getting ready to the final look, Meg and Harry Sellers share how to approach wedding guest dressing with intention, ease and just the right amount of impact.
A wedding invite does not just ask you to attend, it asks you to consider. The setting, the tone, the people, and quietly, what version of yourself you want to bring into the room. It is one of the few occasions where getting dressed still feels like part of the event, not an afterthought.
For Meg and Harry, that process starts long before the outfit is finished. It is in the small decisions, the silhouette you reach for without overthinking, the colour that feels right for the light, the fabric that moves with the day ahead. Nothing forced, nothing overly styled, just a series of choices that come together naturally.
Together, their approach is instinctive rather than prescribed. Coordinated, never contrived. A shared sense of balance that shifts depending on the setting, whether that is something grand and formal or a slower, more intimate celebration.
This is wedding guest dressing as it actually happens, from the ease of getting ready side by side to the final look that carries you through the day.

When it comes to wedding dressing, do you lean more classic tailoring or do you like to experiment with colour and texture?
Both, but never at the same time. A wedding isn’t a runway show, but it’s also not the moment to disappear into a sea of navy suits. The sweet spot? A clean silhouette with one considered detail. Like an interesting texture, a colour that actually has a name beyond “light grey.”
What’s your take on summer tailoring; lighter fabrics, relaxed fits, or still keeping it sharp?
Sharp is relaxed now. The best summer dressing doesn’t choose between the two, it’s a linen suit that looks like you mean business. Fit is king and Fabric does the heavy lifting.
Are accessories like watches, cufflinks or sunglasses part of your look, or do you keep it minimal?
Minimal, but intentional. One good watch beats a wrist full of noise every time. Sunglasses are non-negotiable, less accessory, more body armour. The rule is simple, if you have to think about whether it’s too much….it probably is.
Talk us through the morning of a wedding, what’s the energy like when you’re getting ready together?
We love the morning of a wedding. Everyone’s always so excited and theres such a buzz in the air. We love to take our time and get ready slowly. It’s so nice to chat and listen to some music whilst I do my makeup and Harry irons his shirt. We love swapping our daily uniform for something a little more celebratory and a wedding is the perfect excuse to get dressed up & step out of the door together, feeling our best.
What does ‘summer wedding dressing’ mean to you both?
Summer gives you licence to wear colour, to go lighter and to take a risk you’d talk yourself out of in November. If it’s done right, it’s the most enjoyable dressing occasion in the calendar. The one time a man can show up in something genuinely “intentional ” and nobody questions it. and a woman can remind you why getting dressed was worth the effort in the first place.
How do your styles complement each other without feeling too matchy?
Our approach to wedding guest style is 'coordinated, not matchy.' We usually try and pick a shared colour palette or a general vibe as our starting point. Harry might pick up the tones of my dress in his tie or pocket square, or if he’s opting for a relaxed linen suit, I’ll choose a softer silhouette to match that feel. I think It’s about looking like we belong together without being too literal
Who influences whose style more, or is it a mutual thing?
Mutual, but we’d never fully admit it. Meg is genuinely into menswear, she’s got a better eye for it than most men I know. She dresses masculinely a lot of the time, and honestly? It’s the most attractive thing in the world. There’s something about a woman who can pull on an oversized blazer and make it look more intentional than anything you’ve spent an hour putting together.
But in general the influence flows both ways. I think she pushes me to be more considered, I like to think I inspire her to raid my wardrobe. Though if I’m honest, she looks good in mine too. She probably looks good in everything. I’ve stopped trying to test that theory, it’s only going to end in me feeling underdressed.
When you’re dressing for a wedding, what draws you in first: silhouette, colour or fabric?
I would say silhouette as it just helps me combat decision fatigue. I know what makes me feel confident and comfortable and it just takes away the element of stress when deciding what to wear to an event or wedding.
How do you decide between a statement dress and something more understated?
It usually comes down to the venue or the vibe. If it’s a big wedding that’s quite grand I might choose something a little more maximalist and lean in to a more statement piece. If it’s a more intimate or rustic wedding I prefer something a little more understated but would choose some really gorgeous accessories.
What does your ideal summer wedding outfit look like this season?
I’m really drawn to a strong neckline this season, something with an asymmetric cut or a high neck. Green is definitely having a moment and I always feel really confident wearing it. I’d probably opt for some minimalist strappy sandals to keep it light and pair with lots of chunky gold jewellery.
