Don’t you love weddings? The funny toasts, the first dance, the theater of it all. If you have any friends’ weddings (or parties) coming up, here are a few pretty dresses to consider…
Thoughts? Which would you wear? These would be beautiful shoes, too.
P.S. 15 wedding dos and don’ts, and having sex on your wedding night.

I haven’t been able to get the ‘Garden Slip’ Shopbop dress out of my mind since I saw this post so I just went back and bought it. Thanks for the tip :)
Love the print maxi abd ruffled edge
The label ‘Auguste’ has some beautiful, whimsical, floral dresses that would look lovely at a wedding…. https://augustethelabel.com/collections/dresses
Aahh, wish I’d seen the ruffle edged dress before! I was after something similar for a wedding i’m attending tomorrow. In the end though, I got a jump suit with a cool ruffle on the back :-)
Love these! I’m going to a wedding in July, that’s a weekend long event. I have three events to go to so I need all the inspiration I can get on what to wear…
I love the linen strip (even though I’m not a one-shoulder gal) and the printed maxi.

Love this post! The floral midi, drop-waist and ruffle edged are my favourites. Sooooo pretty!!
I’m currently obsessed with floral prints! Love these :)
Loved all the selections! One audience you left out were the pregnant women. :) No hard feelings, but one dress suggestion would have been great because I am in search for a wedding appropriate dress that isn’t too casual as someone who will be attending a few wedding this summer during the last trimester.
Congratulations! There are a few options in this maternity clothes round-up we published recently: http://cupjo.co/2oQ8fmx
It’s funny that you mention wedding season because it’s all I can think about these days. I’m getting married in October, and what started as an intimate family-only event has turned into a 70-person Wedding with a capital W. It’s important to my fiance that friends are there as well, and I completely get that, but it’s also very different to be a bride than it is to be a groom… As my therapist says, I’m “an introverted introvert,” so being the center of attention is a pretty terrifying prospect. I’m very excited to marry my fiance, but I’m dreading the wedding! Do you have any advice for shy brides? Thanks a million!!!
Some of the best advice I got, and I’m so happy we took it (both my husband and I are introverts), was to take some time to yourselves after the ceremony. We also did a first look, which I also highly recommend as it abated my nerves prior to the ceremony. But anyway since we’d taken most our pictures beforehand during the first look, we used the excuse for our family and friends that we wanted to take our wedding photos but then we sent the photographers away too and just hung out for 30 minutes! It was sooo nice. I personally also found it helpful to take engagement photos just as practice for all the wedding photos that are taken. I was super nervous during our engagement session to have all that attention on me, but then it felt easier during the wedding photos. One other thing we did to kind of diffuse the attention was a big table at the reception for us plus all the attendants, not a sweetheart table. And once we had a couple glasses of champagne that helped too :) It ended up being a fantastic day!
I really appreciate that you include “plus sizes” in these fashion roundups. It’s so discouraging to see big lists of pretty clothing that come from manufacturers who wouldn’t even think of carrying my size, which has happened all my life!
Love the pink midi dress.! My sister in law was married last weekend and I was happily surprised to see from the photos that my £5 green thrift shop dress matched the green in my husbands kilt perfectly! Ended up scrapping my bare leg plan (after weeks of exfoliating and moisturisering my dry and very pale ‘wintered’ legs) in favour of black opaque tights (a bracingly chilly spring day in Edinburgh) – maybe a fashion faux pas with open toe sandals, but I think I just pulled it off!
I love the look of jumpsuits, but it’s so hard to find long ones with sleeves and a covered back! It’s a problem for people with religious modesty beliefs!
I love the blue polka dot! I was perusing the anthro website just now and there is a Maui dress that is literally the perfect summer wedding guest dress. I love it so much I am going to go home tonight and start patterning a linen dress for myself! I have a fashion degree I never use, but summer dresses are so easy to make! <3 Thanks for the inspiration.
maybe crochet lace or flower petal. I feel weird wearing a maxi dress to a wedding for some reason. I’m weary of shoulder tie as well-I’ll be scared it comes undone.
Or you could just use Rent the Runway and save a few bucks ;)
Rent the runway doesn’t offer insurance if your items are lost or stolen. The little insurance they make you buy is just for small amounts of damage and stains. And since it is a rental, your credit card or home/rental insurance won’t cover it either. My package was stolen out of my apartment building and Rent the Runway made me pay retail for the items. And if you don’t have a police report for some reason, they make you pay double – so be careful! I used to use them all the time, but I can’t afford to pay hundreds to thousands if something were to happen again.
I got a dress to wear to all the weddings this year. It’s a jersey knit maxi dress in a cinnamon color from eShakti. It’s great for everything! For casual weddings I can tie the skirt up in a knot and toss on flat sandals. For more formal weddings I can throw on heels and sparkly jewelry. I feel like I hit the dress jackpot.
Cute! Loving the pale pinks.

I love anything that is drop waist, and I love printed floral maxi’s!
xx, Hannah
Linen stripe all the way!
Glad to see some body diversity!
Love these options! Thanks for sharing!
Where is the dress in the lead image from!? Its by far my favorite <3
Thanks for curvier sizes! Ref dresses are my go-to for wedding dresses, they work perfect every time, except if you have a bridezilla of a friend who will forbid you to wear one with an open back. :/
Every summer I tell myself, “I’ll just wear an old dress to that wedding I have to go to” and then I inevitably buy something new! So thanks for giving me one more reason to shop :)
I like the crochet lace and the shoulder tie. So first and last
I love weddings. I hope to have my own sometime soon too :-)
