The Best Wedding Guest Dresses for Spring & 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, the wedding guest dress guide is here to help! In my opinion, the best spring and summer wedding guest dress options are versatile and can be dressed up or down, depending on the dress code of the occasion. Since spring and 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!

Midi Dresses for Warm Weather Weddings
I was really impressed with Bloomingdale’s selection of wedding guest dresses this season. 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 Aqua Ruched Top Midi Dress and ML Monique Lhuillier Audra Chiffon Midi Dress are my favorites, primarily because of the colors. However, I am also really drawn to the corset style tops of the French Connection and Wayf dresses here. 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 from Anthropologie are fantastic options! The Hutch Printed Ruffle Hem Dress and V. Chapman Veronica Corset Ruffle Side-Slit Dress styles are the most stereotypically spring, and both silhouettes are distinctly feminine in a fun way. For a bolder look, though, check out the Shoshana Georgia Mikado Halter Maxi Dress and Mac Duggle Bubble Bow Mini Dress.

Abercrombie & Fitch’s Top Wedding Guest Dresses for Spring & 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.
