Karina wearing Réalisation Par midi dress.
Having been a stylist for over ten years, I'm often asked many different fashion questions. The common ones are 'what's on trend this season?' and 'where do you usually shop?', but the most frequently asked questions are always about dresses, in particular, wedding guest dresses. I think this is because a lot of people can find it trickier to put an outfit together for a specific occasion. And when it comes to this time of year, finding great dresses that aren't too party or too wintery can be a tricky task. Luckily, I'm here to help.
As someone who searches all the best sites daily, I've seen so many incredible dresses that will be the perfect plus one to any upcoming winter wedding. Whether it's a dress you can hide a seamless thermal top underneath for chilly church nuptials, a mini dress worn with thick tights for evening guests, or it's just looking for those longer sleeves and hemlines. Here are the 28 winter wedding guest dresses I love, and I've even split them up into price points so you can find one to suit your budget—because we all know weddings are expensive enough!
THE BEST WINTER WEDDING GUEST DRESSES UNDER £100
Just add lashings of silver jewels.
The colour, the sleeves, the back-tie detail—it's 360-degree perfection.
There's no way anyone will believe this floor-sweeping sequin gown is from Zara. For under £60, may I add!
I would go full red with tights, shoes, bag and lipstick.
Yes you CAN wear black to a wedding, and this long-sleeved dress (in sizes 6-26) will be one you can wear after the big day, too.
There's no reason you can't take the more practical option and opt for a knit midi dress. It'll be warm, easy to wear and can be dressed up with some fancy accessories.
Perfect for an evening guest.
