31 best spring wedding guest dresses to have on rotation this season

Has anyone else got a thousand weddings to attend this year? Spring marks the start of high-season for nuptials, so the search for spring wedding guest dresses has well and truly commenced. The best ones, at that.

You'd be forgiven for thinking you can get away with re-wearing one of your summer wedding guest dresses from last year – which we always advise from a sustainability point of view – but mid-March through 'til mid-June has been known to remain rather chilly. So, unless you want a side of goosebumps for an accessory, you have two options. One: invest in a cardigan or blazer at the very least. Two? Pick up one of these editor-approved spring wedding guest dresses.

Spring wedding guest dresses are the perfect in-between style, with enough coverage on the arms or legs to keep you from catching a cold – but light in hue to reflect the time of year. You’ll also want something that’s easy to move in (for when it’s time to dance), comfortable to sit in (for when it’s time for cake), and highly Instagram-able (for all those grid posts).

If you want something a little more glamorous, look no further than Needle & Thread’s designs. The Wisteria Chiffon Round Neck Ankle Gown is spring encapsulated. Want to look like a walking fairytale? This is the dress for you. If it's a more on-trend piece you're on the hunt for, Realisation Par's Gia dress is a nod to spring/summer runways as roses were crowned Queen flower for spring fashion trends in 2024. This dress is also something you could quite easily wear beyond the celebration of your friend’s nuptials IMO.
