Spring Black Tie Wedding Guest Dresses
A formal dress code doesn’t mean you have to default to black — especially in the bright, cheery days of spring. Instead, embrace the season with floor-length gowns in soft pastels like pale yellow (a big color trend) and sage green. Take it up a notch with fresh details like puff sleeves and 3-D rosettes. Or, lean into the “new neutrals” trend with an earthy, elegant Mocha Mousse hue that’s just as versatile as classic black but slightly more unexpected.

Spring Cocktail Wedding Guest Dresses
Cocktail attire strikes the perfect balance between formal and fun, giving you plenty of room to play with silhouettes, fabrics, and hemlines (yes, minis are fair game!). For the spring, standout details are taking center stage — think halter and one-shoulder necklines, frilly skirts, and florals (groundbreaking, we know). From a bold all-over print (like trending polka dots) to delicate appliqués, these touches will have you party-ready from day to night.

Your favorite nap and milkmaid dresses from last summer are still RSVP-ready.
