Wedding season is almost here - so I've found the best wedding guest dresses for you to shop in 2025

Prepare to be on the best-dressed guest list

Spring is here, meaning so is wedding season, making now the perfect time to shop for some stylish wedding guest dresses for Spring/Summer 2025. Luckily, there are plenty of joyful party dresses up to the job this season, from sophisticated spring dresses to vibrant-coloured and minimalist styles.

This season, colours and prints are at the forefront of what's trending when it comes to chic wedding guests and bridesmaids' dresses. From buttery yellow to cherry red, you can't go wrong with a bold statement colour for any location. Additionally, jewel appliqués are taking over as an added accessory, with brands like Baobab and Zara incorporating these into their designs.

Granted, the location might dictate your choice somewhat. For example, heat is a big factor for destination weddings, so you'll want to prioritise styles that will keep you cool. We're personally big fans of silk slip dresses or oversized linen or crepe styles, which Australian fashion brands particularly excel at.

For church weddings, especially in the UK, you'll want to cover up a little bit more, but you can keep things interesting by choosing a dress with voluminous shoulders or statement sleeves for some extra drama.

Below, are our top picks for the best wedding guest dresses to invest in this season, and love for years to come.

It's safe to say prints will never go out of fashion, especially where weddings are concerned, whether you're into stripes, tropical prints or polka dots. If you aren't keen but still want to make a statement, then bright hues are also a massive lure this season, from hot pinks to acid greens.

Black tie weddings call for a midi or maxi-length dress for maximum elegance. If you're on a budget, head to sustainable brands like Omnes or Nobody's Child, or if you're looking to invest in a designer brand Taller Marmo is having a moment right now, as is Tove. Self Portrait is also a failsafe go-to.
