The Best Spring and Summer Wedding Guest Dresses
Wedding season is fully upon us, and I’m sharing 15 semi-formal wedding guest dress looks for all of your spring and summer wedding needs! Each of the dresses from the youtube video are linked below - along with some similar styles. I had a lot of fun styling up these looks, so I hope you enjoy the video (linked below) and the blog post & find your next wedding guest dress along the way :)
Outfit 1
Dress Size: US 0
Starting off this blog post with one of my favorite dresses from Petal & Pup. The Emmie dress has been around for a few years now, but they continue to stock it, because it’s just so dang good! I especially love the cut outs on the side. The ruffled shoulder straps are also such a fun detail. Be sure to use my discount code “BYCHLOE” for 20% off all Petal & Pup!
Outfit 2
Dress size: XXS Petite
The Tank Tie-Front Maxi Dress from Abercrombie and Fitch is such a cute wedding guest dress! It’s made out of a lightweight cotton material thats breathes and flows nicely. For my brides out there - it also comes in cream - which would be so perfect for a rehearsal dinner or shower!
Outfit 3
Dress Size: US 0 (note that this dress does run small & there’s no stretch to it so if you’re between sizes I would size up. The zero is a little snug on me)
Look number 3 is this fun one shoulder dress from Petal & Pup. This dress is tiered on the bottom, which I think would be so fun and flirty on the dance floor at a wedding! Paired with black accessories to bring out the contrasting color in the dress. Be sure to use my code “BYCHLOE” for 20% off all Petal & Pup!
Outfit 4
Dress size: XXS
This Maxi dress from Revolve is such a stunner! The neck line is so elegant, and it’s nicely weighted along the bottom, which makes it flow nicely. If you’re shorter like me I think this could work for a formal wedding as well since the fabric feels really nice, but if you’re taller than 5’2” I would try and find a floor length dress! This color would be perfect for a late spring wedding guest look! I think the cream accessories compliment this color nicely!
Outfit 5
Dress Size: 00
The Madewell Cut-Out Cami Midi Dress is such a gorgeous spring color & lightweight material, and the cutout is just enough interest at the bust, while the tie keeps it from being too revealing! If you have a larger chest, I would pass on this dress, but for me I am obsessed with the way this fits!
Outfit 6
Dress Size: XXS Petite (this size is the slightest bit snug on me, but since it’s strapless I wanted it to feel tighter - just something to keep in mind!)
This Floral Abercrombie Strapless Linen dress is so pretty for spring and summer wedding! The dress is more cream/beige in person, which I think it totally appropriate for a wedding - especially with the bold floral print! The linen-like material makes it the perfect summer wedding guest dress.
The Mejuri Jewelry I’m wearing in the video! I love pearls for weddings :)
Outfit 7
Dress Size: 00
I LOVE this one shoulder dress from Madewell. The dress is a lightweight material that I think would be perfect for a more casual wedding. This one also comes in white, so if you’re a bride, this could be the perfect wedding shower or rehearsal dinner dress! Paired with these amazing platform healed sandals from Nisolo!
Outfit 8
Dress size: XS
This Revolve turtleneck dress is such a chic wedding guest dress for spring or summer! Paired with my Gucci small flap bag and these black Madewell heeled sandals, I think the black accessories really complete this look! You could also wear this to a cocktail attire wedding!
Outfit 9
Dress Size: US 0
This gold dress from Petal & Pup is one of the more formal options on this list! But just because it’s formal, doesn’t mean it’s not fun! I love the different levels on the bottom of the dress, and the pleats catch the light in such a pretty way when it moves! Be sure to use my influencer code “BYCHLOE” for 20% off!
Note: If you’re taller than 5’2” I would try to find a floor length option for a formal wedding (linked some here for you!)
Outfit 10
Dress Size: 00
Back with a more casual wedding guest dress, this open back floral dress from Madewell is such a cute option for a spring wedding! The puff sleeves are adorable, and the fit is just right. This dress is so flattering, and paired with brown accessories, this look has been a go to for me this spring!
Outfit 11
Dress Size: XS
W.Awake is a new brand for me, but they kindly sent over this black satin dress for me to try out, and I instantly fell in love! The quality feels really good. It has a nice weight to it, and I love the neck line along the front! Paired with cream accessories, this is a classy wedding guest look! I feel like this dress would be great for other events, dinners, and occasions since it can be dressed up or down. Be sure to use my code CHLOE20 for 20% off
Outfit 12
Dress: XS Petite
Look 12 is another black satin dress, this time from Abercrombie & Fitch. It has this beautiful high slit that really elongates the legs - it’s also a bit longer than the previous dress making it acceptable for a formal wedding! Also because it has the high neck it feels more dressy than the previous slip dress.
Outfit 13
Dress Size: US 2
The Petal & Pup Claire Bodycon dress is another classic they’ve had around for years. This dress is is so flattering on, and would be such a cute semi-formal or casual wedding guest dress. Paired with my go to Brown heels, the Alohas Indianas.
Outfit 14
Dress Size: XXS Petite
This blue floral dress from Abercrombie is my number one pick on this list. Unfortunately, it’s so good that this print sold out before I could put this video live! :( I’ve linked to the other great colors they have. The quality on this dress is amazing. It punches in way above its weight, and feels more similar to a reformation dress than Abercrombie. This is the same crepe material as the Sloane Tailored Premium Crepe Pant, and I’m so happy to see this fabric is making the rounds, because it’s awesome!
Outfit 15
Dress Size: XXS
This Maxi dress from Revolve is such a stunner, and a great way to end our list. I would put this more in the formal wedding category, but because of the color, I think it would be totally passable for semi-formal wedding. This dress like the first Petal & Pup dress features cutouts along the ribs that just add some interest to the dress! If you’re taller than 5’5” I would look for a full floor length option if you’re attending a formal wedding :)
Finding activewear that actually fits when you're petite is tricky, but luckily Lululemon seems to always have what I need! This haul has the perfect summer pieces for exercising or just running errands - petite approved (I’m 5’2). Plus this butter yellow color might be one of the best colors to wear in the summer!
