Spring is one of the most popular wedding seasons, and for good reason–the weather is great, the flowers are blooming, it’s nice enough for an outdoor wedding, and spring fashion is in full swing!
If you’ve been lucky enough to be invited to a spring wedding, it’s time to start looking for wedding guest dresses. Spring 2024 is going to be a bright, colorful time for fashion, so no matter how formal or casual the wedding is, you’re bound to find something fun and fashionable that suits you–and the season–perfectly!
How To Style a Spring Wedding Guest Look
Finding cute dresses to wear to a spring wedding is only part of putting together a spring wedding guest outfit. While it’s likely that you won’t need a matching outer layer as you would want for a winter wedding, spring nuptials are the perfect excuse to show off cute shoes and handbags.
If the weather does feel chilly, there are plenty of light options like cute cardigans and shawls that won’t interfere with your overall outfit aesthetic. A few things you do need to consider when choosing an outfit to wear to a spring wedding include:
- What is the theme of the wedding? Have the couple asked guests to wear a specific color or style of dress?
- Where will the wedding be held? Is it an entirely outdoor wedding, or will either the ceremony or reception be held indoors?
- What kind of ground will you need to comfortably walk on? Will you need to walk on sand? Grass? Will the ground be wet? (If so, leave the spike heels at home!)
Once you’ve got a general idea of the kind of outfit you want to wear, it’s time to pick out your dress! The invitation should tell you the dress code, and we have spring dresses in every style.
Casual Spring Wedding Guest Dresses
If the wedding dress code is casual, that means you can wear a more informal dress, like a sundress or shirt dress. You still want to look nice, but you don’t have to wear anything too fussy. Cute floral prints and breezy lightweight fabrics are fantastic for this dress code.
Blue Floral Print Dress
Delicate ditsy prints are so cute for spring weddings! The hem ruffle on this dress adds a playful, festive touch to your casual wedding guest dress, but not enough to make it too formal.
Sage Green Skater Dress
The shorter A-line skirt of a skater dress is swishy and sweet, a great choice for a fun, casual wedding! This dress’s pale green color is perfect for spring; you can never go wrong with pastels at a spring wedding. Style it with floral earrings for even more seasonal inspiration!
Floral Midi Dress With Pockets
Beautiful blush floral print is just the thing for spring, and this dress’s square neckline and corset-inspired bodice is as romantic as it gets. The buttoned bodice and flowy skirt make this a great spring wedding guest dress for the Cottagecore girlies. Also, it has pockets! So useful– you’ll never have to be far from your phone.
Lavender Mini Shift Dress
Pastel doesn’t have to be subtle– you’ll turn heads in this riot of decadent florals. This is the perfect dress for a casual daytime spring wedding. Because it has a halter neckline, it’s a great piece to pair with chunky bangles and statement earrings, while skipping the necklace to let the neckline speak for itself.
Navy Blue Maxi Dress
Maxi dresses can be casual! This dress is a great option for an early spring wedding, when the weather is still somewhat chilly. The off-the-shoulder neckline keeps things casual, and the bohemian floral print looks great with natural fiber accessories, like espadrilles and woven clutches.
Beach Spring Wedding Guest Dresses
Whether your spring beach wedding is a destination event or held locally, the beach is a beautiful wedding spot. Beach weddings call for bright colors and comfy shoes– you don’t want to sink into the sand!
Light Green Cutout Midi Dress
Light green is such a fun spring color, and playful cutouts that make this dress perfect for the beach. Pair it with your favorite sandals for a sand-ready outfit! For a more casual beach wedding, you can top it with a cute wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun off of your face.
Pink Floral Satin Maxi Dress
You’ll adore the way this satin dress ruffles in the ocean breeze! The bright flowers are an ideal tropical touch for a beach wedding.
Blue Bodycon Midi Dress
Bright Caribbean blue and the swoopy one-shoulder neckline are reminiscent of ocean waves–perfect for a beach wedding! Bodycon ruching adds extra built-in support, keeping you comfy throughout the event.
Pink Backless Slip Dress
A sleek slip dress is lovely, but not too formal for a beach wedding– it’s a great look for the sun and the sand. This dress is backless, so you might want to bring a pretty pashmina or shawl with you, just in case the sea breeze is a little too cool.
Rust Floral Maxi Dress
Taking inspiration from the casual elegance of resortwear is always a good bet for a beach wedding. The delicate cascading ruffles of this dress give it an elegant air, while the breezy construction keeps things light. Pair it with neutral shoes to keep the fresh nature girl look.
co*cktail Spring Wedding Guest Dresses
co*cktail wedding attire calls for a nice balance between elegance and relaxed sophistication. For spring co*cktail weddings, bright colors and pastels offer a refreshing and lively touch. Lightweight fabrics like chiffon are preferred for comfort in warmer weather.
Blue Floral Jacquard Dress
Dainty baby blue is an exquisite color for spring weddings. The floral embroidery includes lurex threads for a little extra shimmer and shine. This dress pairs beautifully with elegant accessories; embellished shoes are a great touch to dress this frock up even further.
Orange Bodycon Dress
The bright orange shade of this dress will chase away any residual winter blahs! The stretchy knit fabric is delightfully comfortable, and the wavy texture of the fabric adds a little extra interest. Sunny orange looks great with gold jewelry, and the simplicity of the neckline looks great with updos and hair down styles alike.
Teal Satin Midi Dress
This teal satin dress brings the drama! The asymmetric neckline is striking and looks great with statement jewelry–or on its own. Jewel tones like this shade of teal are especially great for evening affairs–and seasonless!
Lilac Floral Dress
If Bridgerton is your favorite source of fashion inspiration, this might be the ideal spring co*cktail wedding guest dress for you! You’ll love the sweet, feminine details like the bow sash at the waist and the sweetheart neckline on the bustier bodice– and the tiered skirt sways beautifully on the dance floor.
Black 3D Floral Dress
Embellishments like embroidery and 3D applique elevate a simple little black dress into a standout wardrobe piece. The floral applique really pops (literally)! This dress’s pattern demands attention and looks great when styled with dainty jewelry that complements, rather than competes, with the garden blooming on the dress itself.
Black-Tie Spring Wedding Guest Dresses
Black tie is the most formal wedding style most people experience. (While white tie is technically more formal, black tie is much more common.) For a spring white tie wedding, expect to see elevated fabrics, longer hemlines, and elegant, sophisticated silhouettes. Prints are still allowed, but are usually a bit more subtle– and bright spring colors are still en vogue for this spring wedding dress code.
Powder Blue Ruffled Maxi Dress
This dress is everything you want for a black tie spring wedding. It’s sleek and sophisticated, with a beautiful pastel hue that’s just right for spring. Pastels look good with any jewelry metal, and this particular shade of blue is also a perfect pair for pearls.
Black Mesh Maxi Dress
Yes, you can wear black to a spring wedding! This long black gown is a stunning choice for a spring wedding guest dress thanks to its bright embroidered floral detailing. The plunging neckline is also ideal for highlighting a statement necklace.
Light Blue Floral Dress
The elegant floral print on this floor-length dress is just right for a black tie spring wedding. The lace-up back and long slit bring some dramatic sex appeal, and the floaty, light organza fabric looks great on the dance floor.
Blue Knotted Sweetheart Maxi Dress
A deep sweetheart neckline and gathered sash detail creates a statuesque silhouette that will turn heads. This dress is all about drawing the eye upward, and looks amazing with a tall, sexy heel.
Lavender Satin Pleated Dress
A series of all-around, intricate pleats let this dress drape beautifully, giving you a very sophisticated look when you wear it. The shimmery satin fabric looks great with metallic or sparkly shoes and elevated accessories, like a beaded clutch and long drop earrings.
