From Florals to Lace-Trimmed Slips, 29 Spring Wedding Guest Dresses I'm Recommending
If you have some upcoming weddings on your calendar this spring, I've already been thinking about styles to recommend. If you have a black-tie dress code requested on your invitation, it may be the perfect excuse to bring out all of the stops and wear a dressed-up look that goes outside of your everyday outfits. Or perhaps you're headed to a more casual wedding with a cocktail attire dress code, which typically translates to floral dresses, satin slips, and a moment to slip into something colorful.
Regardless of the dress code, I've been scouring the latest drops from designers to find the best pieces of the season and have some front-runners in mind ranging from a draped halterneck maxi from Khaite to a strapless floral dress from Bernadette to an A-line style from Staud. There are many more contenders, though. Ahead, see the best wedding guest dresses for spring that are currently on my short list.
Kallmeyer is the brand every NYC editor can't stop talking about.

The shade of pastel blue I can't stop thinking about.
