Wedding Guest Dresses, Skincare, Hair & Lash Tips for 2025

Wedding season is here, and whether you’re heading to a countryside ceremony, a stylish city event, or a sunny destination celebration, one thing’s certain: you want to be the best wedding guest. From choosing the perfect wedding guest dress to perfecting your wedding guest beauty routine, our UKLASH glow-up guide has got you covered.

Step 1: Start With Glowing Skin

A radiant complexion is the perfect canvas for everything else. Start prepping your skin as early as possible, we suggest around 1 year before the big day, but it’s never too late! Think gentle exfoliation, plenty of hydration, and a consistent routine! Start now and your skin will thank you later.

UKLASH Tip: Use our Vitamin C+HA Eye Serum and Hydra-Gel Eye Patches to revitalise and hydrate the eye area, pairing with a gua sha or facial roller to de-puff and sculpt. Skincare experts with over 25 years of experience helped us design our new LED Dual Light Pro-Therapy Face Mask, which works to firm, brighten, and balance your skin tone. Try today by slotting it into either your morning or evening routine while you take 10 minutes to relax!

Step 2: Find The Perfect Wedding Guest Dress

The search for the ultimate wedding guest dress starts here. Go for something that makes you feel confident and comfortable, whether it’s a romantic floral midi or a bold satin slip. Look for trending silhouettes (asymmetric hems and puff sleeves are big this year) and fabrics that move beautifully when you do.

Trending Right Now: Bright pastels, soft metallics, and floral prints are in full bloom. And yes, you can wear black to a wedding – just keep it playful with accessories and textures.

Step 3: Hair Goals Activated

Wedding guest hairstyles are your chance to get creative. If you’re looking for trending hairstyles, reference our article ‘Top 5 Hair Trends and Hairstyles for 2025’ for inspo. Think loose waves, slick buns, braided crowns. Whatever your vibe, healthy, shiny hair is the foundation.

Start using the UKLASH Hair Growth Serum around six months before the wedding. It revitalises your scalp and works to visibly boost hair density, so you can wear your hair up or down with total confidence.

For that pre-wedding self-care ritual, treat yourself to a weekly hair mask. The UKLASH Hair Repair Mask is a game-changer- think deep moisture, bond-building technology, and shine that turns heads.

Step 4: Dream Natural Lashes

Let’s be real: weddings = emotions. And while the tears might flow, your lashes will still be standing tall. Enter: UKLASH Eyelash Serum.

Start applying it nightly at least 12 weeks ahead for longer, fuller, flutterier lashes that don’t need extensions or falsies. Take our quiz to find out which to shop out of our three clinically proven lash serums here.

Bonus: Pair it with a lash lift and tint a week before the wedding for a low-maintenance, high-impact finish.

Step 5: Perfecting Your Wedding Guest Makeup

From ceremony to champagne reception to dance floor, your make-up needs staying power. Whether you treat yourself by hiring a makeup artist, or choose to go it alone, here are some of our top tips to keep in mind:

1. Before the big day, trim and perfect your natural brows, using a guide such as our article on how to find the perfect brow shape for you, to start with the perfect base that emphasises your natural brow bone.
2. Fill and shape your natural brows with our buildable Brow Pomade and Pencil
3. Prep the upper lash line by using our specially designed Eyelash Curler to bring the best out of your lashes
4. It's time for mascara application! Opt for our Lengthening Mascara to highlight the results of your daily lash serum routine, using a curved silicone wand that delivers optimal lift and definition. Or, if you regularly attend outdoor weddings that are susceptible to the natural elements (and let's be honest, it rains a lot here in the UK), go for our Volume Boost waterproof mascara that will stay on no matter the weather!
5. Finish the look with our Plumping Lip Gloss. The Rose shade offers a subtle hint of colour, or our Clear works perfectly as a plumping top coat to your favourite lipstick and lip liner combo!

Step 6: Details Make the Difference

It’s not just about the dress or glam – being the best wedding guest means thinking about the little things, too:

Nails: Book a manicure in a chic, neutral tone or go bold with a pop of colour.

Fragrance: A fresh, floral or musky scent sets the tone for the whole day.

Shoes: Choose comfort and style. Cushioned soles and cute block heels? Yes, please.

Accessories: A statement earring or mini clutch can pull your look together effortlessly.

Step 7: Morning Of Magic

On the day, give yourself enough time to get ready without rushing. Play your favourite feel-good playlist, sip on a smoothie or mimosa, and enjoy the moment.

Checklist:

✓ Dress steamed and ready

✓ Skin prepped and primed

✓ Hair styled to perfection

✓ Long natural lashes
