8 Wedding Guest Dresses That Will (Almost) Steal The Bride’s Spotlight

After the excitement you feel the moment you open your wedding invitation letter, the dreaded, infamous, ugly question pops up in your head: “What on Earth could I possibly wear?”. Whether it’s your best friend’s wedding or that of your cousin’s colleague’s tennis pal, it doesn’t matter: you want to look good. And that is only fair. To help you make the best decision possible, we picked out our favorite wedding guest dresses, which will make you shine like the bride – or even more, but don’t tell her.

Satin Dress

Simple, sleek, shiny and sophisticated. The slip-on satin dress is at your rescue if you’re looking for a compromise between a low-key look and a refined one. Watch out, though: try not to wear it in white – or you might look like the actual bride!

Wrap Dress

Wrap it up, but make it fashion. Among all the wedding guest dresses, the wrap dress style is one of our absolute favorites. It highlights your waistline and gives you an effortless, flowy look. Pro tip: aim at midi lengths and sleeved tops – it looks classier.

Get it here:

Maxi Dress

The maxi dress is your go-to choice if you value both comfort and elegance. Aim at flowy materials and ruffled or pleated details for a fancier look. Complete the outfit with a tiny clutch bag and a pair of statement earrings, and you’re ready to steal the limelight.

Get these ones:

Jumpsuit (YES! Seriously!)

Who said you can’t wear pants at a wedding? If a statement suit seems too much, though, you can choose a classy jumpsuit, which stands in the middle between a suit and a dress. Get creative with colors and patterns and you’re good to go!

Get it here:

Floral Dress

It’s the most obvious style, but you have to be careful. The floral print comes in all shapes and forms, but that doesn’t mean that they’re all appropriate to be flaunted as wedding guest dresses. Wide fits and ruffled ends are what you’re looking for!

Get it here:

Boho Chic Dress

If your boho soul can’t stand formal attire, we have the perfect solution: the boho chic dress! Elegant and with a gypsy vibe, this dress will surely make you shine without suppressing your true boho self.

Halterneck Dress

Made for all the nostalgics out there, the halterneck dress will bring you back to the 50s in no time. Inspired by the rock ‘n’ roll era and all the dancing, this dress is perfect if you’re looking for something a little bit more fun. Pair it with a statement clutch and strappy sandals to make it pop! And aim at bold colors, too!

Get it here:

Pleated Dress

If you’re in a Great Gatsby kind of mood, the pleated dress is what you need. Avoid Gatsby-style sequins and pearls, but do copy the pleated wide skirts – they are one of the major trends this season!
