From floor-sweeping spring florals to this season’s favourite pale blue shade, we’ve pinned down 26 of the best wedding guest dresses to shop this season… and 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 don’t want to upstage the bride – we’ve said it a thousand times before and we’ll say it again, just don’t wear white – but you also want to feel good but appropriate for the type of wedding. Comfort is also key – it’s a long day – and you need to be in something that you’re going to still feel good in after 12 hours of speeches, eating, drinking and dancing.

The high street is always a great place to start with favourites Zara, Mango and & Other Stories always delivering. But it’s worth finding gems from small independent brands too, if you want to ensure you don’t turn up in the same look as another guest. RIXO is top of our list with a couple of their unique, vintage-inspired pieces coming in under the £200 mark. As well as Scandi brand Damson Madder, a favourite with the Instagram set, their slinky Kiki dress in silk lilac is ideal for a relaxed, bohemian wedding but will also double up for your holiday wardrobe too.
