If there’s something I have an extreme love-hate relationship with, it’s shopping for wedding guest dresses. Between making sure you’re sticking to the dress code, finding something that you feel comfortable in, and wanting to look chic in pictures that someone will look back on for the rest of their lives, dress shopping can be a really stressful experience.
As an (almost!) summer bride and Summer Wedding Enthusiast, I know a thing or two about finding summer dresses for wedding guests. After shopping for dresses for my friends’ weddings, helping people find a dress for my own wedding, or even just dreaming of what I wish my guests would wear, I have spent a lot of time researching, trying on, and returning summer dresses that wedding guests will love. And, not to toot my own horn, but I think I’ve found some really, really good ones.
I am obsessed with all of these dresses and I truly think that any wedding guest will look and feel amazing in these. I hope you will be too!
This post is all about summer dresses for wedding guests.
Summer Dresses for Wedding Guests Abroad
Lucky, lucky you traveling abroad for a wedding! Destination weddings are my personal favorite. I would much rather shell out for a Mexico beach wedding than shell out for a wedding in a random town in Missouri that I’ve never heard or thought of before the wedding invitation arrived.
