26 Wedding Guest Dresses for Spring Weddings

We’re still in the thick of winter but before we know it, spring will arrive and with it will come the dawn of the warm-weather wedding season. If you’ve been on the receiving end of a save the date (or maybe even a few!) for the months of March, April, and May, then it’s time to start thinking about what to wear to a spring wedding. For a decidedly fresh and feminine look, a gorgeous dress is a fail-safe whether you’re attending nuptials in a church, at a vineyard, in a garden, and beyond.

Spring always ushers in the urge to don frothy shades, bright colors, and floral prints, especially when it comes to a wedding guest dress. After a season of darker tones, long sleeves, and layers upon layers, it can be exhilarating to slip into a wispy midi, cheerfully printed maxi, or ruffled mini, ideally with pedicure-baring heels. And as modern dress codes break tradition more and more, it’s only natural that the wedding circuit is a place where bending the rules is par for the course. For spring, that means showing a little more shoulder or leg (sans tights), experimenting with bolder hues (from magenta, yellow, and cobalt to the much-debated shades of red), considering splashier motifs (thanks to '80s and '90s nostalgia) and modern silhouettes like one-shoulder cuts and puffed sleeves, and even wearing black (though our preferred take is a by way of a moodier floral print in place of a standard LBD). Not only are the latest wedding guest trends becoming more exuberant, but they make it much more exciting to shop for a wedding guest dress that you will feel your best in and want to wear for numerous occasions after the main event.
