Whether you have one or several weddings to attend this summer, you have to shop the plethora of dress trends that seem to be tailor-made to the occasion. Because sometimes all it takes to nudge you into RSVP'ing "yes" is finding the perfect piece to wear.

But with this season's array of trends, we're finding ourselves more excited than ever to shop for dresses to wear to a summer wedding. From cheery yellow to romantic tea dresses, if these six trends don't motivate you to RSVP, then we're not sure what will. Go on to shop our edit of the best wedding guest dresses.
