The vivid colors and button-front closure add a modern twist to a classic silhouette. Wear it to an outdoor wedding, a bridal shower, or a spring soirée. This dress practically begs for twirling.

And hey, if you spill a little cake on it, no one will notice with all those florals!
Style Tip: Add simple gold accessories to keep the focus on the vibrant pattern without overwhelming the look.

With handy side pockets, it’s as practical as it is pretty.

Spring Wedding Guest Dresses Under $200
If you want to bring a little glam to the wedding without feeling overdressed, this is the one! The stretch taffeta makes it comfy (because let’s be real, no one wants to feel stuffed into their dress all night), and the neckline is so elegant. Add some sparkly earrings and a cute clutch, and you’re all set to turn heads (in the best way)!
This dress just feels like spring! The gorgeous floral print is bold but overwhelming, and the satin gives it a little extra polish. It’s flowy, forgiving, and perfect if you want to look effortlessly put together without trying too hard. Plus, it’s one of those dresses that looks just as good with flats as it does with heels, so you can easily rewear it to church, graduations, date nights, etc.!
If you’re going for classic and polished but still want to be comfy, check out this option from Talbots. The tie waist is perfect for giving you shape. Just add some fun heels and a cute bag, and you’re ready for a daytime wedding!
I love dresses with asymmetrical ruching like this one, because the fit is super flattering! It’s the kind of dress that works for any venue, whether it’s a fancy ballroom or a more casual backyard affair. Just swap out your jewelry and shoes to match the vibe of your wedding!
There’s nothing easier than a shift dress, and this floral one would be great for a casual spring wedding! The best part? You’ll actually wear it again. Pair it with sandals for brunch, sneakers for running errands, or a blazer for work. A true closet MVP!
Spring Wedding Guest Dresses Under $100
For my gals who like a little extra arm coverage, this one’s a gem! The matching jacket is perfect for breezy cocktail hours or an overly air-conditioned venue, and then—boom!—you can slip it off when it’s time to hit the dance floor. Plus, the sequins gives it a little something special for those fancier weddings!
This dress is so comfortable and flowy that you can mingle, dance, and actually enjoy yourself without feeling restricted. I love the feminine details, like the Swiss dot texture and the tie at the neckline! You’ll feel gorgeous and comfortable all night long!
This one-shoulder maxi is a great pick for a garden or beach wedding, especially since it’s covered in the prettiest floral print! Blue is super popular this year, but it comes in lots of other great colors like lavender and pink.
You know I can’t resist a fun print, and this one had me hooked the second I saw it! It’s got that perfect mix of playful and elegant, making it a total winner for a wedding guest dress. The tiered skirt gives it such a fun, flowy vibe, and the sleeveless design? Perfect for those warm, sunny ceremonies where you do not want to be sweating through your outfit!
I absolutely love this next dress! After seeing this dress had fantastic ratings on Amazon, I knew I had to try it. This sleeveless lace cocktail dress is so fun, flattering, and full of personality. After all, we don’t have to dress boring and matronly just because we are over 50! The lace at the neck and the shoulders make the dress cool and breathable for spring and summer weddings without being too revealing. You could definitely get by with wearing a traditional nude bra with this dress, but you could also do a strapless (this one is my favorite!) if you’re worried about your straps being seen.
If you’re looking for a dress that’s both classic and a little fun, this one’s got you covered. I love the gorgeous turquoise color—it’s perfect for spring and looks amazing with a tan (psst, check out my tan tutorial here if you need tips!). Throw on some cute heels and your favorite accessories, and you’re ready to rock any wedding!

Tania, the blue-green ruched body com dress is stunning on you! Do you have another suede pump recommendation as my size is not available. Thanks!
I would probably wear a neutral pump if the navy wasn’t available. I love this pair by Franco Sarto since it is a wedge.
You look amazing in the blue green ruched dress!!
I really appreciate your style tips – very helpful!

I love the blue green ruched bodycom dress!! It looks so good on you!! If you need to cover your arms to keep warm, what do you suggest? A shrug, sweater, jacket? Navy, ivory,etc? Thanks
Yes, I would probably add a wrap that can be worn over your arms, but still allows the dress to shine. I love a neutral wrap, or maybe one with a little shimmer.

Found it! So many pretty dresses! I also love a floral print as long as it is not too bold. Tania, I am curious what your thoughts are on women wearing hose with their dresses. My 78 year old legs need something and tanner does not seem to do the trick.
Karen, hoses aren’t popular, but here is my thoughts. Do what makes you comfortable and confident. No one is going to tell you that you shouldn’t be wearing hoses. If they do, look at them and say, “worry about yo’self.”
Love that advice!!
You would think at my age I wouldn’t care what others thought! Old habits are sometimes hard to break.
