Love is in the air this summer, and we can’t see our counter-top from the overflowing stack of save-the-dates it’s holding. If you’ve RSVP’d without knowing what to wear to a summer wedding, fear not, for we’ve put together a guide of our 11 best summer wedding guest dresses – that’s our top 10, and our +1.
Embroidered Darcy Crepe Mini Dress
A sweet and sophisticated little summer dress, our Embroidered Darcy Crepe Mini Dress makes for the perfect wedding guest dress for a sister or friend. Intricate floral decoration adds refined glamour to its bodice, whilst its square neckline sets the scene for a glitz necklace. A white dress may be frowned upon by the bride, but if you’re wondering what the wedding guest colours are for 2024 then a dark blue hue exudes elegance, whilst orange nods to this year’s peach trend. Most importantly, these colours will keep the wedding party happy.
Donna Irwen Hammered Satin Dress
You can always rely on a floral dress to slip into our summer wedding guest dress recommendations. Step forward our Donna Irwen Hammered Satin Dress, its graceful print encompassing a strappy slip dress silhouette, featuring a flattering empire waist whilst starring in hammered satin. This dress ticks every box for what to wear to an outdoors wedding, we envision its asymmetric hem floating whilst posing for photos.
Embroidered Lace Strappy Dress
It doesn’t get much more romantic than a lace dress, so what better way to dress for a wedding than in an intricately sweet style? Delicate lace sets our Embroidered Lace Strappy Dress apart from other floral dresses; with a sweetheart neckline, feminine ruched straps and cupped bodice introducing its fit and flare silhouette. Whilst we recommend saving this white dress for summer dates, we’re giving the pretty pink and captivating blue colourways of this gown a resounding yes for meeting summer wedding outfit etiquette. Be ready to catch the bouquet in this blossoming dress.
Islanna Crepe Belted Dress
We think both colourways of our Islanna Crepe Belted Dress achieve wedding guest attire status. A printed dress is a top trend for this summer, and this whimsical pattern continues across from its button-through body onto a matching buckled belt. We’ll be RSVP’ing to this long sleeved dress with a pair of light heels to carry us from rings to reception.
Darryl Hallie Crinkle Maxi Dress
If you’re seeking summer inspiration for your wedding guest dress, our Darryl Hallie Crinkle Maxi Dress stars in sunset rivalling shades. A beauty to behold, this maxi dress pulls out all the stops with a vibrant gradient pattern gracing its full length, hosted by a secure cupped bodice and bead detailed crossover back straps. For a wedding guest ensemble, we’d keep accessories minimal to let this style stand-out, opting for a pared-back combination of strappy shoes and drop earrings for the special day.
Althea Satin Pleated V-Neck Dress
Say ‘I do’ to easy elegance by reaching for a satin dress as your summer wedding guest dress. Our Althea Satin Pleated V-Neck Dress will have you named best dressed guest, channelling a goddess aesthetic with short puff sleeves, empire waistline and a trending neutral hue. Perfectly pleated, this occasion dress effortlessly elevates the traditional satin style to new heights. Gleaming and glamorous gold jewellery is the perfect match for this dress.
Carwen Anisha Sequin Strapless Dress
A wedding guest dress to take you from ‘I do’ to dancefloor? A sequin dress understands the assignment. A summer wedding guest dress has never shone so brightly, with our Carwen Anisha Sequin Strapless Dress starring in a multi-colour pastel palette of sequins, set to catch both the sunlight and disco-ball reflection with every movement. We propose a toast to this strapless dress, and its longevity to be worn on many outings and occasions to follow.
Anathia Blaire Frill Midi Dress
Not sure what to wear to a garden wedding? Our Anathia Blaire Frill Midi Dress is the perfect plus one. This floaty midi dress ticks all the boxes, from romantic frills to a flourishing floral print. A self-tie elasticated waist ensures a flattering fit and all-day comfort, whilst we’re not forgetting to point out its crossover back straps, a playful finishing touch to this fun-in-the-sun frock.
Echo Organza Mix Frill Strapless Midi Dress
You can never go wrong with a little black dress, the ultimate go-to for chic. Old-school glamour inspired our Echo Organza Mix Frill Strapless Midi Dress, with a smooth and strapless silhouette paired with a sultry side split and elegant organza neckline. This midi dress sublimely balances flirty with formal, calling for statement earrings and a clutch bag to complete this sophisticated wedding guest outfit.
Clara Textured Puff Sleeve Midi Dress
Our Clara Textured Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is both something new and something blue. Sheer puff sleeves, with bardot versatility, frame this flourishing floral print dress. In a beautifully true hue, this blue dress features sweet details, from a feminine sweetheart neckline to a single side split. Metallic accessories will effortlessly compliment this midi dress, from a silver bag and jewellery to matching heels.
Althea Satin Ruched Mini Dress
The right mini dress can still master the art of sophistication suited to a summer wedding guest dress. Our Althea Satin Ruched Mini Dress is not your typical satin dress, but its sleeveless silhouette still presents playful elegance with a boat neckline, asymmetric ruching and tiered pleated hem. A red dress is set to stand-out, and we think this style is worthy of its own summer love story. Spritz some perfume, and you’re ready to make your way to celebrate the big day.
