Tips to consider when choosing a Spring wedding guest dress:
Dress Code:
Is there a specific dress code requested by the bride and groom? Is it black tie, or are certain requests to not match (or to match) with the bridal party colors?
These details will instantly help you determine the overall feel for your dress. If is more of a formal attire dress code, you will want to look for a dress in an appropriate length with a cocktail feel.
If is more of a laid back dress code, you can opt for light fabric and more casual shoes.
Location:
You will want to choose a dress that matches the venue. Is this an outdoor wedding or a church ceremony?
These factors will determine the style of dress you need as well as help you narrow down the fabrics and colors/prints that are appropriate.
Time of Day:
Are you attending a morning wedding with a brunch reception, or an evening wedding with a cocktail party?
The time of day will help to determine the style of dress, and how formal you need to be.
This will also help you to dress for environment factors, for example you will want to opt for breathable fabric if you are dealing with outdoor weddings in the warmer months.
Light Layers:
Although we may be ready to rock our off shoulder and strapless dresses, the Spring months can still be on the cooler side especially in the evenings.
Spring dresses to wear to a wedding
You may think that pastel shades and floral prints are the only options for dress to wear to a Spring wedding, but there is no such things as requirements for a wedding guest dress.
Don’t be afraid to take risks and try something new!
A classic little black dress or a maxi dress in jewel tones are just as appropriate for Spring wedding guest dresses.
Mini Dress:
A mini dress is the shortest option for a dress with the hemline that hits generally at mid-thigh level for a fun and flirty feel.
Be sure to wear a flattering or statement shoe with your mini dress to fully complete the look!
Midi Dress:
A midi dress is where the hem hits halfway between the knee and ankle, and typically at mid-calf for a sleek classic look.
Midi length dresses look great on all silhouettes and having been a go-to options for wedding guest dresses for many years.
Opt for midi length dresses as they are no fuss and come in tons of different variations whether it is fitted or flowy.
Maxi Dress:
A maxi dress, also known as a floor-length dress, hits at the ankle or floor level. It makes a statement and is great is both relaxed more flowy styles, as well as formal luxe styles.
Even as a petite girl, I love to wear maxi dresses to weddings as they feel so feminine and fun.
Maxi dresses are very easy to dress up and look great paired with wedges or high heeled sandals.
Slip Dress:
A slip dress fits close to the body and is typically features a scoop or cowl neck with spaghetti straps. This is a classic style that has quickly become a go-to for weddings and special occasions. Slip dresses come in many different fabrics, colors and prints so it is easy to find one that fits your personal style.
Off Shoulder Dress:
An off shoulder dress exposes the shoulder and is worn below shoulder level on the arms.
This is a flattering style and perfect for warmer weather climates.
Off shoulder dresses are great for special occasions. They flatter your silhouette and make a statement while still remain really comfortable to wear all night long.
ROMPERS:
Rompers have come a long way since our childhood days!
These options are all great for an outdoor summer wedding and best of all. Such fun, flirty styles that are the perfect length especially for us petite ladies.
And I’m sure you all know the best part of the romper is the look of a dress but with built in shorts!
Floral Prints
Florals are a go to for so many reasons when it comes to dressing for Spring, and for weddings they are a no brainer.
Floral print dresses feature tons of pretty colors and easily blend into the theme for semi-casual weddings and special events.

Bright Colors
I think that bright colors are incredibly flattering on everyone and really make a statement! If you are looking for a fun/bold option for your Spring wedding guest look, I would opt for for a bold colored dress.
I love this dress above with the puff sleeves as it is so flattering. This is another great feature to look for in dresses if you are wanting to make a statement on the special day.
Pastel Colors
Pastel colors are another go to for Spring weddings and they are flattering on everyone.
I love pastel hues as they are soft and pretty, and work just as well for daytime weddings as they do for night time.
Pastel colors also work well for outdoor weddings in warmer months, as they are not quite as hot to wear.

Cocktail Dresses
Cocktail attire is typically worn for semi-formal and formal weddings, and is a great option for night tie weddings.
If cocktail dress is the requested dress code for the Spring wedding you are attending, there are so many options to choose from!
You can opt for a bright colored satin dress, a pastel printed mini dress with a fitted bodice, a midi dress with a plunging neckline, the list goes on!
