Wedding /Festive Summer Season

This summer is quickly shaping up to be one of the busiest to date, my calendar is filled with all sorts of trips from bachelorette parties, weddings, baby showers, to birthdays and vacations. There's no greater shopping challenge than finding an on-trend, unique, not-too-flashy option that fits the dress code. And while many may dread the endless array of wedding invites including me, once you’ve received the invitation and RSVP’ed yes, I can't help but take delight in the hunt for the perfect dress for each event. I am at your service for any excuse to do a shopping deep dive.

Depending on the time of the event, you'll want to dress somewhere between formal and casual for a semi-formal or cocktail attire summer wedding. Wear darker, more formal hues for an evening soiree; opt for light colors and fabrics for daytime nuptials.

This season, in particular, the fashion godmothers have blessed us with a stunning selection of chic summer wedding guest dresses. In fact, it took much restraint to narrow it down to 30 stylish picks.

I began at my usual stops—Nordstrom, Revolve, J.Crew, H&M, Mango, and Shopbop—and came across an endless array of dresses that range from classic to fashion-forward to completely on-trend. Think satin, floral prints, sequins, sheer details, ruffles, and so much more. Scroll down to shop my curated list of the most stylish summer wedding guest dresses along with visual outfit inspiration to give you an idea of how to style the standouts of the season-making a subtle yet nuanced statement that won’t upstage the bride while also guaranteeing you’ll receive compliments. Win-win.
