The Best Spring Wedding Guest Dresses

Wedding season is officially here! While celebrating your loved ones on their special day is certainly a treat, it can sometimes be a struggle to find a wedding guest dress that you love. Do you go with a long dress or short? Patterned or plain? Cocktail style or more laid back? Black tie or casual?

The key is to shop as early as possible, since so many cute pieces will sell out and be picked over come late spring/early summer.

Another factor to consider is what the venue will be like. Honing in on what the atmosphere and overall vibe of the wedding will be can help you narrow down your dress choices and have a more clear idea of what you’re looking for.

To help you look and feel your best throughout this busy season, I’m rounding up some of the best wedding guest dresses. These dresses would work for a variety of venues and personal style preferences. I’ve also selected options at various price points, including a $39 find!

p.s. If you’re looking for some spring wedding accessories, I’m sharing some of my favorite picks at the end of this post.

Best Spring Wedding Guest Dresses

Floral Dresses

When it comes to spring wedding guest dresses, one of the most obvious styles to reach for is something that incorporates florals. After a long and dreary winter, floral dresses offer such a light and cheerful feel. They’re also great to wear well into the summer (and even the fall months.) Here are a couple that I’m loving…

Metallic Dresses

As I was browsing for spring wedding guest dresses, I noticed that metallic dresses are everywhere this season. Lean into the trend by wearing a gold or silver dress to your own special event. Even if a dress is on the more casual side, there’s something about the added sparkle that makes it feel more polished and feminine.

Also, if you really want to maximize the impact you make with texture, go with a dress that’s got pleated detailing — so fun and so chic! Add a neutral clutch and some strappy heels and you’ll be ready to dance the night away.

Midi Dresses

Bright and pastel colors are two obvious choices when dressing for a spring wedding, but don’t be afraid to stick with neutrals. This rich brown dress offers every bit of class and elegance. Plus, the midi length is ideal for transitional seasons — and you can always add a wrap if needed!

I love the idea of sticking with something timeless and basic (so you can wear it again and again.)

Starting with a simple base layer is also a great option if you want to jazz things up with your shoes and accessories. These dainty gold earrings and this clutch would complement this dress perfectly!

Brown Dresses

While brown isn’t necessarily a spring color, it’s a classic pick that you can’t go wrong with. There’s something about brown that feels upscale and sophisticated, even if the dress isn’t overly fancy.

As far as accessories go, I think brown hues look so rich with gold jewelry. I’d also opt for metallic colored heels, but nude would be pretty as well. This look is actually a set (which you would never know!)
