Read This Before You Buy Any Spring Wedding Guest Dresses

The daffodils are beginning to bloom and Easter eggs are already on the shelves, which means one thing, wedding season isn’t far off. If you have the nuptials of friends in the diary for 2024, let us be your guide to picking the best spring wedding guest dress out there.
You can always count on the squares of Instagram to serve up some occasion dressing inspiration. We’ve done the doom scrolling for you and come up with four stellar options that will ensure you’re A. appropriately dressed (no.1 rule when it comes to wedding attire); B. feeling and looking chic; and C. not wearing the same as anybody else. Fingers crossed. From influencer Abisole’s tonal head-to-toe brown look to DOEN’s buttercup dress of dreams, here are our picks…
LOOK 1
Doen’s dresses are like something you’d pick up from a Californian flee market, full of vintage spirit and ethereal feminine shapes. This buttercup-hued number (incidentally a major colour trend for SS24) makes for the perfect spring wedding guest look, whether the couple are tying the knot in the Cotswolds or Hackney Town Hall.
Add contrast with kitten heel black mules and a plump velvety bow in the hair, and come summer, this will become a winner in your holiday wardrobe, paired with flat sandals and a raffia beach bag.

Insta star, Abisola, gives a masterclass in head-to-toe brown, one of this season’s biggest trends. Her slinky DISSH dress is worth the risk of import tax – the brand is based in Australia but ships worldwide – and comes with less chance of turning up in the same look as another guest.
Style with an oversized blazer and silver accessories for a modern finish.

If there is one brand that absolutely nails wedding guest aesthetic, it’s RIXO. This season’s Alondra silk midi is a standout, especially paired with their gold-plated coin belt for a 1970’s feel and statement drop earrings.
Buy for wedding season and wear far beyond, from date-night dinners to Christenings and big birthdays.

When we spotted this look on Instagram star, Leka Mikadze, we thought “that’s the wedding guest we want to be.” Her Ixiah The Label dress is wedding appropriate, will work for those tricky in-between months, and comes with a hint of cool-girl flare. Pair with tonal accessories, from a bohemian-inspired bag to mega gold heels.
