Shop Special Occasion Dresses for Weddings, Parties & More

There's a dress for every invitation, and Lace & Beads has spent years working out what women actually want to wear to them. Our formal occasion dresses cover weddings, christenings, black-tie dinners and everything with a dress code in between, while lighter styles suit a summer garden party just as well. Occasion dresses for weddings make up a good part of the range too, so guests, bridesmaids and mothers of the bride will all find something that fits the brief.

Maxi, Midi or Mini? Choosing the Right Dress Length

  • Go for an occasion maxi dress when the invitation says black-tie, or the venue calls for something floor-length, such as an evening wedding reception.
  • Reach for a midi occasion dress when you want to look dressed up without going full formal, ideal for daytime weddings or a smart lunch.
  • Pick an occasion dress in mini length for cocktail parties, birthdays or any night out where you want to move freely and show a bit more leg.
  • Choose knee-length occasion dresses if you want something that sits comfortably between smart and playful, good for most guest-list occasions.

Find Your Occasion Dress at Lace & Beads

Colour does a lot of the talking at any event, which is why our ladies' occasion dresses come in shades built for every mood and season. Bold red occasion dresses and green occasion dresses work brilliantly through the festive months, while pink, ivory and silver occasion dresses lean into softer, dressier looks. Blue occasion dresses remain a safe, elegant choice for weddings, and our occasion pencil dresses are there for anyone who wants a fitted silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maxi dresses are usually the safest bet for black-tie or evening events. For anything less formal, a midi length still looks polished without being over the top.

Navy, ivory and black rarely go wrong, while red, green and pink suit festive or summer dress codes. It largely comes down to the season and the formality of the event.

Definitely, sequins and beading are a firm favourite for wedding guests, especially at evening receptions. Just keep embellishment levels in mind if the dress code leans more understated.

Lace & Beads ships occasion dresses across the UK, with the full range available to browse online. You can also get in touch directly if you need help picking the right style for your event.
