Wedding Season Is Coming—Here Are 24 Dresses to Wear to Every Event

by Caitlin Burnett

The beginning of spring means a few things: warmer weather, sundresses, longer days, and the arrival of wedding season. If you haven't already been bombarded with invites, prepare yourself because they're probably coming. Between the engagement parties, bridal showers, and ceremonies, attending a wedding means you need quite a few outfits. And if you're actually in the wedding, that's a whole other story.

To help prepare you (and myself, if I'm being honest), I decided it would be a good idea to round up the best dresses for all of the aforementioned occasions to give you a head start on your outfit planning. Typically, the ceremony gets all the glory, but I've found it can be equally as challenging to find looks you like for other wedding activities, such as the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner. So after sifting through all my favorite retailers, I've put together 24 of the best wedding guest outfit ideas for every event on your Google calendar this season.
