Our 10 favourite wedding guest dresses that are still in stock for that last-minute wedding
Including options from Boden, Monsoon and Phase Eight
Finding spring wedding guest dresses can be tricky, especially in these in-between months, but we’re here to help you nail the perfect outfit – the best occasion pieces will make you feel just as good as you look!
The issue is that, while we are finally moving into sunnier days, the British weather remains changeable. And while you may be tempted to pull out your floatiest summer dresses, we all know how easy it is to catch a chill as the night draws in. The best wedding outfits for spring will be suitable for layering, or have enough coverage on the arms and legs to prevent goosebumps, but will still make you feel glam for the photos.
Floor-sweeping maxi and midaxi dresses – with a side slit for mastering those dance moves – will make you feel dressed up but still cover your legs. Sheer sleeves are a great way to show a little skin, while still offering some coverage. And A-line silhouettes with longer hems look anything but frumpy when worn with the right accessories – just layer with a blazer or shawl and you’ll be equipped for all eventualities.
Now is also the time to sport brighter colours or trending pastel shades after the gloomy winter months. Dare to opt for playful designs with unexpected details like layered ruffles or flattering tied belts.
From floral prints to bold hues, here are 10 of the best spring wedding guest dresses to shop this season.
This silk midi dress from Jasper Conran is a bold statement for any wedding, with full-length sleeves and a chic wrapped belt. Accessorise with a matching coloured hat or gold jewellery for extra punch.
Phase Eight’s Ida dress sees a feminine print in a confident bright green shade, reminiscent of La Dolce Vita or Portuguese tile prints. Wear it to a spring wedding with gold accessories, then take it on holiday later in the year.
Whistles is known for its bright colours and minimal dress cuts – and has done it again. With its bright red hue, this dress is perfect for dancing the night away at an upcoming spring wedding, or dressing down for a day in the office with a trusted boot-and-blazer combo.
