The Best Summer Wedding Guest Dresses for Every Type of Ceremony
You’ve RSVP’d yes to the ceremony invites; the next item on the agenda? Finding the perfect summer wedding guest dress, of course. It’s no small task: You’re balancing dress codes, hot weather, and ever-present questions about being on-theme and whether you might be over- or under-dressed. This season, we’re seeing delicate florals, artful draping, and bright colors take center stage. All the better to find your perfect dress, for everything from seaside nuptials to dreamy destinations that call for a little extra effort.
Vogue’s Favorite Summer Wedding Guest Dresses
In general, start with the venue. Garden ceremonies are a great opportunity to go all-in on the botanical theme; choose a bohemian yellow dress from Chloé dotted with micro-florals or go more contemporary with a silk Tory Burch midi dress covered in abstract painterly flowers. Going to a black-tie affair? Keep it sophisticated in green draping à la Khaite and Veronica Beard. (Ulla Johnson’s silk gown in fluid fuchsia is also a top contender.) You get the point—summer weddings can encompass a lot; it’s all about finding where your personal style meets the dress code.
