The Best Spring Wedding Guest Dresses for Every Type of Wedding


Contemporary labels like Staud, Dôen, and Rixo nail wedding guest dressing season after season; you’ll find a few options from them in our edit if you’re not looking for an investment piece. Though for something a little more special, why not go for a celery-colored strapless gown from The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel—which is only missing a pair of diamond studs for a polished look? Or a ruffled, floor-sweeping polka dot number, courtesy of Cara Cara? We found delicate pastel hues in soft lilac and lemon yellow from Chloé, Bernadette, and McQueen; and if you want to stay true to the unofficial motif of the moment (unless specified otherwise) with a flowery print, Erdem’s rosy crinkled satin midi and Carolina Herrera’s painterly ballgown both make exquisite options.

Shop these 30 stylish pieces ahead and cement your title as the best-dressed wedding guest this spring.
