Love them or hate them, wedding invitations are a sure sign of summer. While celebrating the unions of friends and loved ones, you want to look fabulous and party-ready. Whether you are attending a backyard bash or a formal fete, we’ve put together a series of luxury wedding guest dresses that are sure to put you in a celebratory mood.
Wedding Guest Dresses for a Backyard Wedding
When attending a backyard wedding, you want a dress that is easy, fun, and not too formal. Ulla Johnson dresses fit the bill. The New York-based designer draws inspiration from her international travels, creating pieces with tactile embroidery, batik prints, and voluminous ruffles. Ulla Johnson’s dresses are flowy, feminine, and just casual enough for dancing barefoot.
Etro’s dresses are similarly appropriate for a backyard wedding. The Italian house began as a textile design company in the 1960s, evident in their lushly printed pieces. Often using their signature paisley jacquard, Etro dresses lend a festive bohemian feel. With extravagant prints, lush fabrics, and flattering silhouettes, Etro wedding guest dresses are perfect for a summer or autumn outdoor wedding.
If the outdoor wedding has more garden party vibes, look to Lela Rose. Trained as a painter and sculptor, Lela Rose’s artistic talents are reflected in her clothing. Bright colors, floral prints, and long skirts are hallmarks of the brand’s sweetly feminine wedding guest dresses.
Wedding Guest Dresses for a City Rooftop Wedding
For sipping cocktails on a rooftop, you want a dress that has a little sex appeal. When attending a stylish city wedding, look no further than Self-Portrait. With guipure lace, alluring cut outs, and well-placed frills, Self-Portrait’s wedding guest dresses are a recipe for a good time. Look for flirty off the shoulder necklines and 3D floral lace.
If you are searching for a sophisticated frock, slip into a dress from Roland Mouret. These elegant wedding guest dresses will show off your curves while not showing too much skin and the signature bodice draping lends a stylish touch.
