The weather in New York City finally just hit 60 degrees and the taste of warm spring weather and sunshine has officially rearranged my thoughts. What’s top of mind? Well, walks through the park, trips to the farmer’s market, sunset happy hours after work and a closet full of colorful spring wedding guest dresses. The official start of the “busy season” for weddings is right around the corner and so is the nearest Anthropologie—one of my new go-to destinations for wedding guest dress shopping. Whether you’re heading to a wedding as a plus one or the bestie of the bride, you’ll want to look and feel your best. Luckily, the round-up of spring wedding guest dresses I’ve compiled will easily check both boxes. Plus, you’ll also probably have the best look of the night (besides the bride, of course).
For spring dresses, the name of the game is color—the bolder the better; picking a statement color is a guaranteed way to stand out. If you’re choosing a colorful dress, you can also take it easier on the accessory and shoe choices—I promise nobody in your friend group will notice that you’re wearing the same pair of heels to every event.
From simple slip dresses to dramatic tiered ruffles, keep scrolling for the best spring wedding guest dresses the internet currently has to offer.
