The Ultimate Wedding Guest Dresses Edit… All Under £250
From vintage-inspired florals to this season’s favoured polka dots, and romantic pale pink to the cool-girl’s olive green, we’ve pinned down the best wedding guest dresses to shop this season – and the best bit? They’re all under £250.
Who doesn’t love a good wedding? If you’re lucky enough to have a social calendar bursting with love-filled events this summer, be sure to check out our edit of affordable wedding guest dresses. Dressing for the big day can be tricky; you never want to upstage the bride – we’ve said it a thousand times, and we’ll say it again: don’t wear white. Beyond that, you also want to feel good, but in a way appropriate for the type of wedding. Comfort is also key – it’s a long day – and you need to be in something that you’ll still feel good in after 12 hours of speeches, eating, drinking and dancing.
The high street is always a stellar place to start, with favourites like Zara and Mango consistently delivering. We are also particularly thrilled about the return of Topshop, which is once again offering that perfect cool-girl edge to occasionwear. Zara is leaning into pretty florals, Mango has mastered chic black-tie silhouettes that could easily pass for designer, and Topshop has some incredible prints and detailing – from chocolate fringing to an epic olive-green check.
There’s something about pretty pale pink hues that just feel right for a countryside spring wedding.
It’s also worth hunting for gems from smaller independent brands to ensure you don’t turn up in the same look as another guest. RIXO remains at the top of our list, with several of their unique, vintage-inspired pieces coming in under the £200 mark. Kitri Studio is another essential – and a perennial favourite at this time of year with the Instagram set.
This Zara dress is such a steal at under £40. Style with an oversized tux blazer slung over the shoulders.
Topshop is where all the cool girls are going for wedding looks with a slight edge.
The shape of this dress is so flattering, and the arm coverage is perfect if you need to cover up a little.
Vintage-inspired prints are how to do understated wedding guest dressing. We love this monochromatic polka dot with a pop of red shoe.
