30 Stunning Dresses That Will Get Compliments at All of Your Summer Weddings

When summer rolls around, many may dread the endless wedding invites, but I can't help but relish in the hunt for the perfect dress for each event. I am here for any excuse to do a shopping deep dive. This season, in particular, the fashion gods have blessed us with a stunning selection of chic summer wedding guest dresses. In fact, it took a lot of restraint on my end to narrow it down to 30 stylish picks.
I started off at my usual stops—Nordstrom, Revolve, J.Crew, H&M, Mango, and Shopbop—and came across an endless array of dresses that range from classic to fashion-forward to completely on-trend. Think satin, floral prints, sequins, sheer details, ruffles, and so much more. Scroll on to shop my curated list of the most stylish summer wedding guest dresses along with visual outfit inspiration to give you an idea of how to style the standouts of the season.
