We're now deep in wedding season, and this year, I'm lucky enough to be going to one in Europe. To say I'm excited would be a dramatic understatement—I'm truly counting down the days. The dress code is formal, and while some formal dress codes can feel limiting, Europe tends to have more fun with fashion generally. Plus, the directive for this particular wedding is bold. The bride said color, prints, sequins, and drama are all welcome—which is music to my fashion-editor ears.
Since I'm able to have a bit more fun with my dress this time, I set out in search of the best dresses the internet has to offer. I was met with dozens of chic dress options and am honestly having a hard time narrowing it down. Thankfully, I have a few more weeks to make the final call, but I have a feeling most of these will start selling out quickly. I can't be the only one in the market for dresses right now, so I'm sharing the options I currently have saved. From romantic necklines to open backs and structured silhouettes, below are 35 stunning wedding guest dresses I'm considering for my upcoming European ceremony.
