Chic and casual bridal looks for day two, small ceremonies, or dancing the night away.

With the good news this week that weddings in Ireland can have 50 guests at the ceremony and 25 at the reception (from June 7), many couples will be giving the green light to their summer ‘I dos’. If you’re opting for a more casual look for your big day, or perhaps on the hunt for the perfect day two or evening outfit, here are some of the prettiest picks out there. From designer numbers, to breezy summer dresses, to feathered minis and everything in between, here are 16 chic, casual bridal looks.

2. For a long-sleeve option, this Needle & Thread dress in a champagne shade has a wonderful shimmer to it. Needle & Thread Aurelia dress @ Zalando.ie (€619)

3. Irish designer Fee G’s summer collection features this beautiful lace dress, perfect for a day two barbeque. Fee G @ Arnotts.ie (€235)

4. This Forever New wrap dress would look perfect with a dainty bouquet in a city registry office. It’s currently on sale in Arnotts (€120).

5. Renowned Dublin bridal boutique, Sharon Hoey, has designed a clever Pretty in Pink collection which allows brides to choose separate pieces to create their unique look. We love this off-the-shoulder top and pants for a chic summer wedding. Sharon Hoey Meadow Collar (€395) and Gigi Pants (€550).
