It’s officially wedding season and the invites are piling up. When it’s time to decide what to wear to your next wedding, the task can be quite daunting depending on the time of year, the attire selected by the happy couple, or the variety of wedding guest looks to choose from. Our stylists have identified the 4 wedding guest trends they cannot get enough of for 2023, and put together some options that will fit all of the nuptials you RSVP’d yes to attend. No matter the season or the dress code, here are wedding guest dress trends that are reigning supreme.

Floral Dresses

From outdoor and destination weddings to weddings in a backyard or vineyard, floral dresses are having a major moment. Yes, we know - groundbreaking. While we can practically hear you rolling your eyes - just hear us out. Reach for the unexpected when choosing a floral wedding guest dress. For a daytime wedding, choose a dress that boasts cutouts or 3D flowers crafted from tulle or organza. For a formal or black-tie wedding, select a gown with bold, multicolor beadwork or burnout velvet details. Here are a few of our favorite floral dresses that our designers have elevated with unexpected accents.

Jumpsuits

Skip the dress and take a jumpsuit for a spin at your next semi-formal wedding or rehearsal dinner. An elegant nod to the menswear trend, jumpsuits are a pretty way to buck the traditional while remaining within appropriate attire. Wedding guest jumpsuits are as unique as the wearer, from structured, clean designs to flowing and feminine looks. Our designers have reimagined the one-piece trend with details like tuxedo tailoring, off the shoulder necklines adorned in 3D accents, and chiffon overlays. This handful of wedding guest jumpsuits are just a few that we have our eye on for wedding season.

Solid Colors

Quiet luxury is the style of the moment, and nothing embodies this quite like a solid color dress. Elegant, understated, and able to be worn time-and-time again, we can’t get enough of this wedding guest dress trend. Embrace this style for weddings by selecting dresses or jumpsuits that can be dressed up or dressed down, are trend-forward rather than trendy, and will look of-the-moment for years to come. Skip the sparkle and dramatic details, and look for styles that whisper rather than shout when you walk into the room. These solid-hued wedding guest dresses are the epitome of sophisticated.

One Shoulder

While a Grecian moment is always welcome come wedding season, the one shoulder neckline is trending particularly hard right now. Soft yet statement-making, this trend has found its way onto wedding guest dresses and jumpsuits alike, making it easy to find a version that suits your style. The best thing about a one shoulder wedding guest dress? The details. From draping to ruffles to sequins, our designers have added their unique touch to every one shoulder dress in our collection. Here are some of the looks we’re loving for your next wedding.
