Best Dressed Wedding Guest

With Summer around the corner, the season of weddings and festivities isn’t far behind! I’ve been sharing a range of dresses for graduations, Mother’s Day, and more, and today I’m rounding up some gorgeous wedding guest dresses that you’ll feel amazing in… and without breaking the bank!

Whether it’s cocktail or black tie, you’ll be the best-dressed guest in these stunners! I shared a fun video of them all in action HERE.

Wedding Guest Dresses //

This brand is a go-to for me when it comes to cocktail parties and events… the details are always stunning, and they are a beautiful blend of classy and sass. This one is a stretchy knit body-con style, but with a gorgeous embroidered overlay skirt. It comes in a range of colors, and will have you twirling.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.

Floral Appliqué Dress (Also HERE) | Clear Wedge Sandals | Statement Earrings

My favorite of the bunch, I have nowhere to wear this gorgeous pleated dress yet, but I loved it so much it needed to stay in my closet! I’m crazy for the floral and muted color tones, and the corset top is so flattering. It’s fully lined with a sheer chiffon overlay, structured boning in the bodice, and adjustable straps. The colors and fabric make it perfect for year-round events. You’ll also never believe the price!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

Floral Pleated Gown | Clear Wedge Sandals | Statement Earrings

Pink and red is always a good idea, and this floor-length stunner is so fun to wear! I love the double v-neck in the front and back, and the front has a flattering faux-wrap style. The skirt has a deep slit, so it’s a little sassy, and easy to walk in!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

Floral Pleated Dress | Clear Wedge Sandals | Statement Earrings

Talk about wow factor! This gown has a gorgeous mix of bold and beautiful colors, with a flattering halter neckline. The bodice is reinforced for chest support and to hold its shape, with flattering mini pleats. It’s extra long, perfect for the tall girls, but an easy hem. And bonus, it’s on super sale!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size 2 dress.

Pleated Watercolor Dress (Also available HERE & HERE) | Clear Wedge Sandals | Statement Earrings

The perfect midi dress for afternoon or beach weddings, this pleated number has an easy-to-wear (and dance in!) shape. It’s fully lined with adjustable straps, with a fun open back detail.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

Pastel Pleated Dress (Also HERE & HERE) | Clear Wedge Sandals | Statement Earrings

A classic silhouette, this dress is a showstopper! I’m crazy for the bright color, and the taffeta material has great structure and weight (perfect for year-round events). The back has a comfy smocking for easier fit and wear, and let’s not forget pockets!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

Square Neck A-Line Dress | Clear Wedge Sandals | Statement Earrings

You can never go wrong with a little black dress, and this one is equal parts classy and sassy! With a deep V in the front and back, it’s fully lined to the knee with a gorgeous embroidered lace overlay. It comes in a bunch of colors, and is even on sale at some places!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.

Lace Overlay Dress (Also available HERE) | Clear Wedge Sandals | Statement Earrings

And of course we can’t talk about wedding guest dresses without sharing my go-to! I love everything about this dress, and receive non-stop compliments every time I wear it. I love it so much, I added the black one to my closet.

Fun Fact: Sloan wore the black one to her last formal, so apparently it’s a multi-generational find, ha!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size 2 dress.
