Wedding season has arrived!
Summer is here and you know what that means. So is wedding season! A few years back, Doug and I had 8 weddings throughout the course of 3 months. Which was an absolute blast, but it also made dressing for the events challenging as many of the same people were at each one! (Let’s be honest, being a repeat dress offender for big events during the same season isn’t ideal.)
It’s funny — I often remember the events by reflecting on the dresses worn — including the bride’s! Weddings sometimes are fashion events within themselves, and they’re also often the time when you see those who you haven’t in forever, so I love taking extra care on what I’m wearing for these special events.
If you’re like me and love to add beautiful wedding guest dresses to your wardrobe, this post is for you! I have a collection right now that I rotate, and every spring/summer I like to add a few pieces to it for good measure. And because it’s just fun! I love getting dressed up – can you tell? 😉
Here’s a roundup of the dresses I’ve been eyeing lately — we have two weddings this season so one of these may definitely make an appearance!
Best-Dressed Wedding Guest Dresses by row, from left to right
Free People Daisy Island Maxi Dress
This dress is so romantic and charming! Comes in pale yellow and soft pink — both options would be beautiful for a summer wedding. Pair this with a simple updo or even lean into the boho style look and tie in some loose braids — either way you’ll have a look that is sure to turn heads!
Reformation Emmie Floral Dress
Nothing says summer like a good floral print dress! LOVE this breezy dress for an outdoor wedding. Don’t be intimidated because it’s a white-based foundation — the florals help to make this more casual and it’s far away from breaking the rule of not wearing white to someone else’s wedding!
Aidan Mattox Floral-Print 3/4 sleeve wrap cocktail dress
Aidan Mattox designs cocktail dresses with incredible details and amazing fabrics. This one is on sale for a steal!
Rou Midi Fit & Flare Dress
LOVE this feminine midi that pairs a scoop-neck tank with a full swingy skirt, all in a soft jersey material. Would pair perfectly with a pair of fun turquoise earrings for a pop of color! Wear this with flats for a casual wedding, and with heels for a dressier affair.
Anthropologie Troubadour Jumpsuit
This classy jumpsuit is SO cute and such a fun option for a wedding to switch it up. Simply add earrings and a clutch for an event-ready look.
Corey Lynn Calter Clare Linen Dress
I have a serious crush on this dress. The pattern of this shift is just so fun! You could also wear this so many different ways, including paired with any color heels.
J.Crew ruffle gingham dress
Gingham is always fun to wear, especially in the spring and summer time. This cute navy and white dress with a ruffle-hem and back smocking is a great feminine pick for a summer wedding.
Majorelle Patchwork Midi Dress
This fun and flirty dress is one of my favorites with the most beautiful colored patchwork pattern that is sure to be a hit at any wedding!
One Shoulder Midaxi Dress in Satin
Oh-la-LOVE! This dress is so chic. The satin material is beautiful, and the design sets this apart from a standard slip dress.
Leith Twist Front Cut Midi-Dress
The eye-catching waistline cut out is eye-catching while still remaining sophisticated. Loving the animal print, but this also comes in black and floral options. Can’t beat the price on this one, too!
Vince Pleated Cami Dress
A little bit of a splurge but worth it for this stunner of a dress. This ice blue color is a total dream! Round out this look with a simple pair of nude heels.
J. Crew Ruffle Spaghetti Strap Tropical Silk Dress
The perfect feminine dress for any ‘dressy’ summer event! I LOVE the ruffled hem and back smocking detail on this amazing pick!
Elsie Double Front Bow Dress
A soft, romantic dress that will make twirling while dancing so much fun. I love the double front bows, and the color is lovely! Other Gal Meets Glam dresses that would be great for a wedding include the Dot Chiffon Midi Dress + Cotton Tie Waist Fit & Flare + Sleeveless Stretch Shirtdress.
Club Monaco Amirra Silk Maxi Dress
The colors are so refreshing, and paired with heels and an updo, this would make an adorable wedding guest option! Other dresses from Club Monaco I’m loving include the Jadrien Knit Dress + Jubileeza Tiered Dress.
Everlane Collarless Belted Shirtdress
Some weddings are more casual, and this is the perfect dress if you’re heading to one that’s more relaxed. This shirtdress would look beautiful paired with dressy sandals and heels alike. As a double bonus, it can be worn for every day wear throughout the summer as well!
