Has anyone else got a thousand weddings to attend this year? Spring marks the start of wedding season, so the search for spring wedding guest dresses has well and truly commenced. The best ones, at that.
You'd be forgiven for thinking you can get away with re-wearing one of your summer wedding guest dresses from last year – which we always advise from a sustainability point of view – but mid-March through 'til mid-June has been known to remain rather chilly. So, unless you want a side of goosebumps for an accessory, you have two options. One: invest in a cardigan or blazer at the very least. Two? Pick up one of these editor-approved spring wedding guest dresses below...

Spring wedding guest dresses are the perfect in-between style, with enough coverage on the arms or legs to keep you from catching a cold – but light in hue to reflect the time of year. Although we have included a couple of mini dresses, for the brave amongst us. You’ll also want something that’s easy to move in (for when it’s time to hit the dance floor), comfortable to sit in (for when it’s time for cake), and highly Instagrammable (for all those grid posts).
Look at the SS25 runway trends and there's plenty of inspo for the big day's OOTD. Of course, we all remember the ruffle finishes at Chloé, emulated on the high street from the likes of ASOS with this chiffon maxi dress. Florals for spring, duh, are Prada-approved. We also saw a lot of lace and sheer at the Dolce and Gabbana show, which has convinced us to try black this spring in the form of a slip dress. And don't get us started on the Alonso Rojas show – we're still thinking about those stunning pink silks and floral embellishment.
