Whether you’re a dutiful guest who lives for save the dates to fall through your letterbox, or you’re the sort of attendee who gets palpations at the mere thought of fascinators and gift lists, there’s no getting away from the fact that wedding season is upon us. We, for one, are keen to embrace it—particularly because there’s a bounty of beautiful wedding guest dresses to be had. Of course, there are always designer options to pine after, but you needn’t break the bank to look the best dressed guest part. Having commenced our daily scout of the various high-street new-in sections, we’ve seen more fabulous frocks than we can count, with the best being found at Other Stories, Topshop and Zara.
From Other Stories’ marvellous array of midis that come in just about every colour you can think of to Topshop’s penchant for punchy prints, we’re so impressed by what we’ve seen that we’re hoping to be invited to more nuptials last-minute to provide us with an excuse to invest in them all. To save you ample scrolling time, we’ve sifted through the lot to bring you the very best wedding guest dresses from Other Stories, Topshop and Zara. Prepare to fall in love.
