The Best Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer: Wedding Guest Dress Guide

The Best Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer

With the change of season, wedding season is just about here! Figuring out what to wear as a wedding guest can be a little complicated. Luckily, this wedding guest dress guide is here to help! In my opinion, the best summer wedding guest dress options are versatile and can be dressed up or down, depending on the dress code of the occasion. Since summer weddings seem to tend to be a bit more casual than their cooler weather counterparts, I’ve focused on more lightweight styles. Dress them up with a pair of dress heels or embrace a garden party vibe with my new favorite wedges from Sarah Flint and your favorite option for elegant nude nails and you are good to go!

Solid Color Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer

I was really impressed with Anthropologie’s selection of wedding guest dresses this summer. They have a wide range of styles, including many great midi styles that would work well for petites. The four dresses I picked to feature here offer a variety of texture and neckline styles. The Mac Duggle Bubble Bow Mini Dress (above) and Hutch Ruffle-Hem Dress are my favorites, primarily because of the colors. However, I am also really drawn to the unique necklines of the BHLDN Ruby Stretch Satin Halter Mini Dress and Hutch Bow Halter Mini Dress (below). All four could be dressed up or down depending on the wedding location and dress code!

Formal and Floral Options for Wedding Guest Dresses

For a more formal or vibrant look, these four dresses are fantastic options! The Satin Strapless Side-Slit Maxi Dress and Ruched Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress styles below are the most stereotypically spring, and both silhouettes are distinctly feminine in a fun way. For a bolder look, though, check out this gorgeous Hutch Amara Floral Bustier Pleated Dress from Nordstrom!

Abercrombie & Fitch’s Top Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer

Last but not least, I wanted to highlight Abercrombie & Fitch’s extensive wedding guest dress shop! A&F’s dresses range in formality and are all great prices (most around $120-$150). The four dresses featured below would be great spring or summer wedding guest dress options because of the fabrics and silhouettes, even if you opt for darker colors.
