Winter weddings were all about moody colors, shimmer, and a whole lot of velvet, and I'm ready to move on to the spring wedding season. It'll finally be warm enough for outdoor ceremonies, so bring on the florals and punchy colors galore. While shopping for a wedding guest dress is much more fun than, say, browsing for a staple white tee, it does come with its stresses. First off, there are several factors to keep in mind. Is it fancy and formal or daytime dressy casual? Will it be cold in the venue or sweltering in the sun outside? Should I go for long or midi length? And the most important question of them all: Is my dress comfortable enough to dance in for four hours straight?
With this in mind, I've rounded up 25 dresses that are perfect for every type of spring wedding. So whether you're going to a rustic vineyard in Sonoma, California, or an upscale hotel in the city, there's a low-stress dress for every taste and budget. Keep scrolling to shop every pick.
When it comes to event dressing, Reformation always pulls through. The brand is best known for its satin dresses, which you can wear on many occasions after this wedding is over.
If you're on a budget, Zara has your back. You can find everything from airy poplin dresses for a casual wedding to bright printed satin-like ones like this.
This color will have the compliments rolling in.
If you're looking to make a statement, this Staud dress will help you do exactly that.
No matter the dress code, a classic black dress will never feel wrong.
This bright yellow is perfect for a spring wedding.
Garden wedding, anyone?
Imagine this dress paired with a pearl clutch? That's perfection.
This iridescent fabric gets a yes from me.
Based on recent runways, halternecks are trending for 2024.
The only word people will have to say to this dress is "wow."
If I had the budget, I'd wear Rodarte at any event I was invited to.
For the chillier spring days, you can easily get away with a velvet dress.

Not many wedding dress codes allow for a cut-out, but this small one won't make a fuss.
Adorable is the right word.
This looks just like the dress from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and that makes it a winner in my book.
I'm into this moody vibe in comparison to lighter floral dresses.
A work of art.
Florals are a no-brainer, but this one feels fresher than other options.
If you're willing to splurge, this is the dress you'd want to spend the money on.
