I love a good gown. There is something just so grand and romantic about a beautiful gown. When you wear one, you know you're on your way to an elegant celebration; somewhere glamorous and special. The opportunity to wear a gown doesn't just come every day, after all. Depending on how many wedding invites you've received this season, you may be making an appearance in a gown more frequently than you might have imagined. From black-tie glam to casual low-key daytime weddings, as a wedding guest, I make it my top priority to pull out all the stops when it comes to my look.
What can I say? As a gown lover, this is my time to shine. (Well, I guess the bride's time to shine, actually). Keep scrolling for the dreamiest wedding guest gowns that will guarantee your spot on the best-dressed guest list. From classic satin black gowns to glamorous, dramatic velvet ones, here are 30 gowns I'd wear to a winter wedding.
