Spring Wedding Season Style Guide: Guest Outfits That Feel Fresh (and Re-Wearable!)

April 23, 2025

Spring Wedding Guest Outfits

Spring is here, which means your weekends are about to be filled with “Save the Dates,” garden ceremonies, rooftop receptions—and the age-old question: What do I wear?

We’ve rounded up affordable, re-wearable dress options perfect for every type of spring wedding—from beachfront to black-tie optional. These picks strike the balance between trendy and timeless, so you can wear them long after the wedding night is over.

Beach Wedding Outfit Ideas

Bold Hot Pink Maxi Dress

If you find yourself heading to the beach for a wedding this year, I have a mix of stylish options for you. First, check out this tiered ruffled maxi dress from Target in an eye-catching hot pink color. I recently wore it out for a beach dinner date complete with a chunky seashell necklace and bamboo top handle purse. Bright colors are fun for a seaside beach wedding and this bold spaghetti strap maxi dress comes in at just over $50.

Printed Mini Dress

Another beach wedding outfit idea comes from Walmart with their latest spring drop at Free Assembly. I simply can’t get over the beautiful collection of printed mini and maxi dresses at Walmart that look high-end! See this mini dress favorite of mine styled below with a raffia knot shoulder bag and block heels.

Pleated Linen Blend Maxi Dress

One more stunning Walmart dress find that would be ideal for a beach wedding is this flowy linen blend number. The print to this maxi dress feels ideal for a European seaside wedding ceremony, doesn’t it? You could also re-wear this maxi dress for any number of spring/summer vacations you have planned, too.

Garden Wedding Outfit Ideas

Yellow Floral Mini Dress

This year the color butter yellow is currently trending and what better way to embrace this happy color than in a floral printed mini dress for a garden wedding. Old Navy has budget-friendly wedding guest dress options for you in mini, midi, and maxi lengths. I’d say this yellow floral printed mini dress airs on the more casual end of weddings. The fit & flare style is also super flattering on the body.

Smocked Floral Maxi Dress

I absolutely adore this purple floral maxi dress from Amazon for a garden wedding. In my opinion, this is one of the prettiest dresses available on Amazon right now from Grace Karin. You can find this exact dress style in over 10+ print variations, too.

Blue Floral Mini Dress

Abercrombie’s pleated Emerson dress is a timeless favorite of mine to repurchase year after year. I picked this blue and white puff sleeve mini dress up right before our cruise honeymoon vacation last month. Complete this garden wedding ready look with a chic marble clutch.

Boho Floral Maxi Dress

I finally got my hands on this gorgeous Free People Bluebell Maxi dress look for less from Amazon. Consider ordering this boho-chic dress for an upcoming outdoor garden wedding.

Church Ceremony Outfit Ideas

Floral Smocked Waist Midi Dress

For more traditional wedding ceremonies, such as ones that take place inside a church, you’ll want to opt for more coverage compared to other weddings. Here I am styling a long flowy smocked dress from LOFT in a beautiful boho print that’s comfortable and lightweight enough for a spring day. Sometimes you can get away with a more casual dress for a church ceremony and then switch up your look for the reception in the evening.

Green Floral Wrap Dress

Another Amazon dress favorite for a spring wedding is this wrap dress pick. The wrap dress style comes with plenty of coverage up top to wear to a modest church wedding, too. I’ve personally worn this exact dress to a few spring weddings!
