After a long cold and dull winter, we are sure you’re counting on spring fashion to breathe life into your wardrobe again. And what better occasion to dress to impress than a friend or family member’s wedding? If you happen to be in the market for the best spring wedding guest dresses, then allow us to guide you to the perfect selection. We’ve rounded up elegant floor-length gowns, adorable mini frocks, practical yet stunning long-sleeve outfits and midi dresses that are sure to gain you tons of compliments.
When it comes to dressing for a wedding, there are a boat load of things to consider. For starters, questions like: Will the nuptials be held indoors or outdoors? Will the ceremony take place midday or in the evening? And, is the dress code chic yet relaxed or formal black tie affair?, may all be floating around your mind. Luckily, our assortment of springtime dresses, opposed to what guests would wear to a fall wedding, include bold prints, sweet pastel hues and classic LBDs to cover all the bases. Some of them could also easily be worn to a summer wedding, too!
Our top picks:
We also included gowns at multiple price points and sizing options so whether you have a Nordstrom budget or would prefer not to break the bank, you can find a stylish option that will make you feel just as put together as the next woman.
