Now that we have that out of the way, here are some wedding guest dresses to explore before spring takes a bow.
Check out spring wedding guest dresses to inspire your next wedding slay…
#1. Dual-toned number
An ombré maxi dress is a spring delight. Wear a bright-colored dress for a sunny day at a beach wedding. Keep the cut simple and classic, while leaning on styling for expression. Here, you can leverage the power of statement jewelry for a head-turning effect.
#2. Turtleneck dress
A turtleneck dress lends a sophisticated flair to your style repertoire. To infuse a pleasurable spring aesthetic, play with textures and details. Perhaps, ruffles on the sleeves or a texture that intrigues the mind. Another way to vamp up this coordination is with colors. Think pastel dress and bold-colored accessories, such as a mini yellow purse. The colors make for an interesting view when they complement each other.
#3. Side-slit prints
Spring wedding guest dresses are full of personality. If sexy is your thing, feel free to incorporate it tastefully without obscuring the bride. Step into the wedding hall in a unique side-slit dress that shows just enough skin to be satisfying. Consider a distinct print or a chic detail like an asymmetric sleeve to remain dynamic. Tow the minimalist party with softer neutral shades, like a white dress with blue prints styled with a silver clutch. However, if you’re bent on making an elaborate flex, go overload with a straight-cut maxi dress with all-over prints pumped up with statement accessories.
#4. Fringe dress
Emerald green and gold is a luxurious combo that is fit for a wedding guest. To add sway to your movement, don a sleeveless fringe dress, and complete it with a gold purse and matching shoes to enliven the offering. While fringe dresses are akin to boho charm, a more contemporary styling approach is more flexible. So feel free to include dainty jewelry that doesn’t scream for attention.

#5. Midi crochet dress
Spring weddings are the perfect time to whip out a body-accentuating crochet number. Crochet dresses, with their airy nature, do well styled with raffia hats. But if that’s not your forté, a simple dress with strappy sandals and a top-handle bag will work just fine. Continue the easy-on-the-eye approach with a sleek ponytail and a subtle face beat. You can switch the heels for flatforms if the venue is sandy.
#6. The classic slip
A slip dress is always a sexy girl’s go-to in the books of spring wedding guest dresses. They’re comfortable and uber-feminine. Choose a high-low hem or a maxi slip in a hue that complements your complexion. Then, throw on an understated bag and sunglasses for a sassy edge. This is your best bet on the dance floor to sway with ease and poise.

#7. Barbie minis
The baddies have entered the group chat! A pink mini dress, snatched on your frame like a glove, is as girly as it gets. The after-party calls for a sassy dress, especially for the lady who’s out to party and be noticed. Opt for a deeper shade of pink for a bolder statement. Don’t go easy, pick a dress that’s fluent in confidence. The details can emphasize your waistline, tastefully show off your legs, and exude a lady-like aura. Make a case for “Barbicore” with an elegant pink dress and a “clean girl” face beat.
#8. Button-down khakis
Let your ‘fro out in a khaki button-down dress. You can elevate the look with a tiny belt on the waistline, an animal-print clutch, and cool sandal heels. But if the goal is a laid-back resort look, consider a breezy khaki dress with costume jewelry and raffia accessories. Don’t forget the sunglasses.
#9. Shift dress
Some weddings are boujee and require a bold approach. Choose a colorful shift dress punched up with a colorful coat. Color-blocking is a daring move to pull off at a spring wedding and should be undertaken with thoughtfulness. An orange and blue pair means there’s no hiding place, and the spotlight would shift for a second while you strut in with a knowing slay. Kitten heels are comfortable and classy, and the best options for a long day of dancing and networking. Dress up the look with a woven bag and fabulous sunglasses. The best part about this look is the stand-alone dress that doesn’t let you down when the temps heat up. There’s nothing more freeing than a cool shift dress that’s both stylish and utilitarian.

#10. Floral poise
Florals are the diamonds of spring wedding guest dresses. The bolder, the finer. But a simple black maxi decorated with floral prints and styled with a floral headband still ups the ante. As cliché as floral dresses for women might sound, they will never be relegated to the background. Bring out the Bridgerton in you with these numbers and turn heads without breaking a sweat.
