Spring Wedding Guest Dresses With Rosettes

The catwalks of Paris Fashion Week have declared that rosette appliques will be everywhere in 2024, and we think they are the perfect sweet addition to a spring wedding ensemble. Keep it casual or dress up for the occasion with various mini, midi, and maxi dresses that exude spring.

Spring Wedding Guest Dresses With Bows

If you’ve indulged in the bow accessories trend, you’ll be glad to hear that they aren’t going anywhere. The coquette aesthetic and balletcore trends are perfect for romantic events, and we can bet you’ll see bows fluttery and dreamy dresses at upcoming weddings. But don’t think all bows feel sweet and girly: New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2024 made its stamp of approval on voluminous bows that feel abstract and bold.

Jewel-Tone Wedding Guest Dresses

Notable spring hues (and 2024 fashion color trends) to keep your eyes on are jewel tones — think tropical teal, midnight blues, and wine red. The combination of glossy fabric and rich colors gives off an effortless (and cooling) luxe appearance. Allow the dress to speak for itself, and keep your look minimalistic and chic with crisp jewelry and a pair of timeless black slingback heels.

Y2K Wedding Guest Dresses

The term “Y2K fashion” may conjure up belly tees and low-rise flares, but the trend has also made its way into formal wear — and it’s not as risqué as you’d imagine. This spring, expect the likes of early 2000s slip dress styles, nostalgic frills, and sherbet colorways.

Wedding Guest Dresses With Trains

Designers reinterpreted the classic dress train for their spring 2023 runway shows, and we’re on board. Mini dresses are now accompanied by floor-length trains with bows or delicate and reserved side trains. We believe that you’ll be seeing this dramatic accent more frequently — and that you’ll look amazing in one, too.
