From Weddings to Weekends: My Dress Picks
I’m often asked where to find great event or wedding guest dresses. It can be tricky to find stylish options that offer both quality and variety, so I’ve rounded up a few of my current favorites. I’ve included a mix of price points to suit different budgets, with styles ranging from simple and elegant to bold and playful. Some of these picks will even transition beautifully into fall!
This first dress is a gem I found at H&M—such a classic piece at an amazing price. I’m obsessed with the halter neckline, the pleated detail, and this gorgeous color. I styled it with my go-to gold heels and a fun beaded clutch for a dressier vibe. If you prefer more shape, you can easily add a belt to cinch the waist. You could even take this dress on vacation and pair it with a casual wedge for a more relaxed look!
I’m always on the lookout for a great black dress, and I absolutely love this one. The cut-outs add a fun, modern touch, and the puff sleeves give it just the right amount of drama. The slim silhouette and low back make it feel feminine and flattering. Made from a linen-blend, it’s perfect for warmer weather—you can easily dress it down with wedges (like I styled it here) for a vacation-ready look. It’s such a versatile piece at an amazing price!
If you’re in the market for a mini dress, this one’s a must! It’s definitely more of a statement piece—I’m obsessed with the bold pattern and the halter neckline with the bow detail. It’s also a great option to transition into fall with the right layers. Plus, it has pockets, which is always a nice bonus.
I can’t get over these colors—this dress truly looks like a piece of art. The print is vibrant and unique, making it an instant standout. It’s another one I think would be perfect for a vacation, especially styled with simple accessories to let the dress shine. While it’s a bit more of a splurge, it’s a piece you’ll likely reach for again and again. From special events to warm-weather getaways, this one’s a keeper.
Last but certainly not least: this stunning tulle dress. It’s the perfect choice for a black-tie wedding or any formal event. The color and pattern are absolutely beautiful—elegant, yet playful—but if you’re looking for something different, it also comes in two other gorgeous shades. The layers of tulle give it a romantic, ethereal feel that moves beautifully as you walk. This dress is truly a standout piece.
Finding the perfect dress for an event can definitely be a challenge, but I hope this post gives you a helpful starting point with a range of beautiful options at different price points. It’s also a great way to discover (or rediscover) retailers that consistently have pieces worth checking out for future occasions. Happy dress hunting—and I hope you find something you feel amazing in!
