Winter weddings were all about moody colors, shimmer, and a whole lot of velvet, and I'm ready to move on to the spring wedding season. It'll finally be warm enough for outdoor ceremonies, so bring on the florals and punchy colors galore. While shopping for a wedding guest dress is much more fun than, say, browsing for a staple white tee, it does come with its stresses. First off, there are several factors to keep in mind. Is it fancy and formal or daytime dressy casual? Will it be cold in the venue or sweltering in the sun outside? Should I go for long or midi length? And the most important question of them all: Is my dress comfortable enough to dance in for four hours straight?
With this in mind, I've rounded up 25 dresses that are perfect for every type of spring wedding. So whether you're going to a rustic vineyard in Sonoma, California, or an upscale hotel in the city, there's a low-stress dress for every taste and budget. Keep scrolling to shop every pick.
When it comes to event dressing, Reformation always pulls through. The brand is best known for its satin dresses, which you can wear on many occasions after this wedding is over.
If you're on a budget, Zara has your back. You can find everything from airy poplin dresses for a casual wedding to bright printed satin-like ones like this.
This color will have the compliments rolling in.
If you're looking to make a statement, this Staud dress will help you do exactly that.
