Wedding SZN Is Here, And You’ll Want To Wear One Of *These* Affordable Dresses

Weddings are hard work. That's mostly the case for the people electing to have one, of course—but it's also a lot for the folks setting aside time and funds to attend their special day. So, it's always a perk if the wedding’s happening in spring—when the weather is warm and dress options are plenty.

To decide what to wear for the spring wedding you're planning on attending, you'll want to check out the invitation before you go on a shopping spree. "Take inspiration from spring flowers and nature: all shades of pink, lush greens, sky blues, and sunny yellows," says stylist Lesley Brickman. You'll of course want to stick to the old rule of not wearing white, but avoid red, too, if you're going to an Indian wedding since Indian brides traditionally wear red.

Peep some of the best spring wedding guest dresses below:

When it comes to length, what you wear depends on how formal the occasion is and the time of day it's at. Hearst's executive fashion director, Kristen Saladino, says it's best to stick with a mid-calf length or. longer. Go with an ankle or floor-length gown if the dress code is Black Tie. If there's no dress code listed, Brickman says to go for a midi length dress. And when it comes to sleeves, a sleeveless or short sleeve dress is best for spring—just be sure to bring a wrap in case it gets chilly when the sun goes down.

What with all the choices out there, select a wedding guest dress you’ll actually want to wear again. That's going to justify the money you spend on it, too. Saladino recommends a classic silhouette, like a slip dress or classic floral sundress. See below for 35 of the best spring wedding guest dresses in 2023.
