Wedding guest dresses for spring weddings (2024)

If your spring calendar is filled with save-the-dates and wedding celebrations like mine, this list is for you. From freshly picked florals to textured fabrics, we’ve rounded up the best wedding guest dresses for springtime celebrations. Spring weddings can be chilly or sunny, indoors or outdoors, and practically any situation in between, which means you may want to opt for a long dress or bring along a shawl in case the temperatures dip.

Though bright colors and patterns are popular for spring occasions, you can also lean into a good neutral or structured style. Whether you're drawn to flowing silhouettes, structured cuts, or the little details, there's a dress to suit every style and preference—as long as it’s not white!

1. Saylor Cheryl Dress

Just because you’re attending a wedding in spring doesn’t mean you can’t wear something neutral, edgy, or dark. The lacy black and tan Cheryl Dress is great for formal and co*cktail-attire occasions alike, whether it be a black tie affair or an upbeat reception and dance floor. The dress’s hourglass shape is flattering, and its midi length lets you show off your shoes. Rent the dress in women’s sizes 0 to 10 for a fraction of the retail price.
