Wedding season is upon us, and if you're looking for a wedding guest dress for spring, I've got you covered. A wedding guest dress is always one of the most fun outfits to plan, as besides wearing white, or of course outshining the bride, the fashion world really is your oyster. It's the perfect excuse to buy that piece you've had your eye on - and maybe wouldn't get chance to wear otherwise.
- For a church wedding: Kaila Silk-Midi Dress, £345 / $525
- For a city wedding: Reformation Lilibeth Silk Dress, £298 / $298
- For a countryside wedding: ASOS DESIGN Ruffle Satin Embellished Maxi Dress, £135 / $229
- For a destination wedding: Rat & Boa Corali Dress, £235 / $370
- If you prefer more coverage: Phase Eight Rosa Floral Maxi Dress, £189 / $415
- For a fashion-forward look that’s still wedding-appropriate: AJE Breeze Fringed Metallic Knitted Midi Dress, £450 / $640
When it comes to wedding guest dressing, floral prints, pastel hues and satin styles are always popular choices. Florals are a classic and timeless style, particularly for countryside marquees and church weddings. They work all year round, with lighter, brighter colours coming into their own in the spring/summer season.
Another fail-safe style is a satin or silk dress in a simple silhouette. You can amp things up with your accessories - think an embellished bag or statement jewellery. Pastels are also a popular choice, and from soft pink to butter yellow, they were all over the runway for spring/summer 2026.
If you're feeling overwhelmed with options, I spoke to fashion insider and recent bride Olivia Miller (@oliviamiller) (whose amazing outfits I always want to emulate) to help you choose what to shop for wedding season.
How I chose the best wedding guest outfits
- Brands: I've only included labels loved and trusted by the Best Quality Designer Handbag Shopping Team. These are the brands I look to when shopping for occasionwear.
- Style: From cascading ruffles to slim-fitting styles, asymmetric hems made for easy movement and statement sleeves, I've chosen a variety of cuts so there is something for everyone.
- Budget: Equally, everyone has a different budget, so I've included a couple of high-end pieces as well as prices as low as £88.
Wedding guest dresses for spring 2026
Rixo Kaila Silk-Midi Dress
Editor's Note:
Made from 100% silk, this floral print Rixo dress isn't just stunning, it's comfortable and lightweight. It features contrasting prints, long sleeves and a timeless bias cut. Ideal for any spring/summer event, you'll wear this long after the nuptials.
Pretty Lavish Beatris Ruffle Midaxi Dress
Editor's Note:
Pretty Lavish's floral dress is designed with a high neck, cascading ruffles, and voluminous sleeves. It has a gorgeous low back with functional ties but if you prefer more coverage, the brand has several different cuts in the same print.
Rat & Boa Corali Dress
Editor's Note:
Rat & Boa do the most amazing dresses, so if you're shopping for one you'll wear on repeat, this is it. Sustainably made, it's double lined with adjustable straps and features a soft cowl neck.
Reformation Lilibeth Silk Dress
Editor's Note:
Butter yellow is still popular this season and beautiful for spring. Reformation's tactile Lilibeth dress is luxuriously made from 100% silk. It has a chic detachable sheer cape that features an asymmetrical hem.
AJE Breeze Fringed Metallic Knitted Midi Dress
Editor's Note:
This AJE dress is an investment you can wear every season. Cut with a slim fit and sparkling metallic threads, it's finished with a statement fringe hem. I love it styled with silver accessories.
Nobody's Child Floral Jaquard Erin Midi Dress
Editor's Note:
This simple tea dress by Nobody's Child features a classic v-neckline and button-down front with a panelled waist to flatter your shape. It comes in the prettiest pastel pink with a subtle floral print.
ASOS DESIGN Ruffle Satin Embellished Maxi Dress
Editor's Note:
From the floral print to the ruffle detail and sequin embellishments and lace-up back, this ASOS maxi dress is stunning for spring. Style it with barely-there heels and a clutch.
Phase Eight Rosa Floral Maxi Dress
Editor's Note:
Adorned in florals and featuring long sleeves, a wrap bodice, and feminine pleated skirt detail, Phase Eight's new Rosa dress is a beautiful choice for a wedding. It comes with a tie belt so you can choose the silhouette.
Reiss Evory Strappy Draped Cape Maxi Dress
Editor's Note:
With its scarlet hue and draped silhouette, this Reiss dress could work for weddings all year round. I love the detachable cape layer for a stylish finish - ideal for unpredictable weather.
