Best-Dressed Guest: Summer Wedding Guest Dresses
Summertime is basically here, which also means summer wedding season is on the way! But with all the excitement also comes the stress of finding the perfect neutral summer wedding guest dress that's not too plain, not too flashy, and most importantly, won't make you melt in the summer heat. Don't worry, I’ve got you covered!
When it comes to dress styles, anything flowy and relaxed or lightly form-fitting will work perfectly and allow your skin to breathe in the summer heat. Look for A-line silhouettes, wrap dresses, and maxi dresses with a slit for a little extra ventilation. As for colors, neutrals don’t have to be boring. Gold is a perfect warm neutral color for summer, but if you do go with black, look for a chic detail like lace. If you’re looking for more of a pop, try a floral pattern or a muted pastel color like blush!
If you're headed to a beach wedding, consider a flowy maxi dress in an earthy tone. A garden wedding calls for something a little more whimsical, like a floral dress with ruffles. And for a city wedding, a slightly fitted cocktail dress with a touch of lace will keep you looking sophisticated and on-trend.
Looking for the perfect summer wedding guest dress? I’m sharing the best neutral summer wedding guest dresses that will have you looking stylish and fabulously chic while staying cool and comfortable.
My favorite places to shop for summer wedding guest dresses
When it comes to shopping for a wedding guest outfit, my top recommended retailers to shop for wedding guest dresses are Lulus, Petal and Pup, and Revolve.
Lulus is typically my first stop when it comes to wedding guest dresses, they have a huge selection of quality, affordable formal dresses that are perfect for weddings, date night, or events. Plus they offer free US shipping for orders over $50 and free shipping on returns/exchanges.
Even if I find something at Lulus, I always head to Petal and Pup for more wedding guest dress options. They offer free shipping for orders over $80, but their dresses are always affordable they run a good amount of sales throughout the year so they’re definitely worth it!
If I can’t find anything I love at Lulus or Petal and Pup, my last stop is usually Revolve. They have lots of unique, designer dresses. Their price range is definitely higher than Lulus and Petal and Pup, however, I’ve been able to find some great pieces on sale for a great price. Plus, they offer free 2-day shipping and free returns!
Some other stores I like to browse are Showpo and HelloMolly, I’ve found some cute dresses on occasion that were pretty affordable.
