Wedding season is here, and that means one thing: the perfect excuse to dress up! Whether you’re attending a romantic garden ceremony or a glamorous black-tie event, finding the right outfit is the best part of being a wedding guest. And since we just finished celebrating my brother’s wedding I have weddings on the brain and I’ve rounded up my favorite spring and summer wedding guest dresses—from showstopping gowns to affordable finds—that promise to make you the best-dressed guest.
Can you even with this tiered gown? The layers add just the right touch of drama, and the slight high-low hem is beyond chic. And that color—seriously, it’s breathtaking! I honestly think it would be stunning as bridesmaids’ dresses too. Plus, you know I’m a sucker for a strapless number, and this one is hitting all the marks for me. Bonus? It’s priced right around $250, which feels like an absolute steal for how elegant it looks. You can’t go wrong with a piece like this!
More strapless! I told you I loved them. But this floral print, omg. I am obsessed. I honestly want to plan a family photoshoot around this one. It’s the kind of dress that makes you feel like you’re walking through a dreamy garden. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but it’s Mac Duggal, and you know how much I adore that line! Their quality and designs are beyond worth it—this one’s definitely a keeper.
This dress just might be my favorite out of all of them – the beading, the off-the-shoulder detailing, the color, the chiffon skirt. I am in LOVE. It’s under $200 and worth every penny. The quality is next level.
If you’re headed to a more casual wedding, I cannot think of a more fun dress! The asymmetrical hem and ruffles immediately caught my eye—it’s playful but still so chic. And that color for spring? It pops so beautifully, just the right mix of vibrant and soft. I also love how versatile it is; it would totally work for a rehearsal dinner too. Plus, the hemline shows off your shoes, giving you the perfect opportunity to style a really fun pair of heels! Something sparkly or a pop of color would really elevate the whole look.
Do not come at me, but I got this dress from SHEIN, and honestly, the quality for the price is so good! The bow detail and the sequins make it feel so special—absolutely perfect for a bride’s rehearsal dinner or even a gorgeous option for the mother of the bride. For me, it felt a little too light to wear as a wedding guest, but for only $100, I know I’ll find another occasion to wear it. It’s one of those pieces that just feels effortless but still makes a statement, and I’m so glad I took a chance on it!
You can never be too glammed, and this dress is the ultimate example—it makes such a bold statement but still feels so effortlessly elegant. The coverage of the sleeves makes it a perfect option for something like a mother-of-the-groom dress, striking a balance between sophisticated and show-stopping. And can we just take a moment to appreciate the beading? Plus, this shade of green? Absolute perfection. It’s rich, timeless, and feels so unique—I’m completely obsessed!
I honestly do not know how this dress was only $100. The floral print, the colors, the cut—everything about it screams luxury and elegance. It’s so stunning that I want to wear it for literally everything. And you know what? I’m absolutely okay with being overdressed because this dress deserves to be seen! Since it’s not pastel, it feels versatile enough to work for any season, and I just can’t get over how in love I am with this one. Total showstopper!
