As a backlog of brides rush to the altar, 2022 looks set to be brimmed with weddings. If you’re a wedding guest who's attended very few, if any, nuptials over the past two years, you’re probably wondering what to wear and what wedding guest dresses are even available. Whether you’ve been invited to your best friend's destination wedding, are watching your sister walk down the aisle or have been asked to accompany your partner as their plus one, we’ll bring you our favourite wedding guest outfits for the 2022 wedding season.
Handpicked from our Invitations by Veni collection, are six stunning wedding guest outfits - 29662A, 29662B, 29664A, 29664B, 29654 and 29651 - each fabulously flattering and perfectly suited to the stylish wedding guest.
In this blog, we'll guide you through each style to help you look your best - all while ensuring you don’t upstage the bride.
First off the rail and one for maxi dress fans is style 29662A, our striking floral print long chiffon dress with full sleeves. This fabulously floral A-line dress has detachable shoulder pads and a bold v-neckline for the fashion-forward and confident wedding guest. Thanks to its bold print and striking silhouette, minimal accessorising is needed. This exquisite dress is available in two colours - Fuxia Naranja and Paolo Azul - and a calf-length option as style 26662AS.
Our next dress is style 29662B - the single colour sister of style 29662A. This feminine long chiffon dress also has detachable shoulder pads, a bold v-neckline and full sleeves but is available in eight fabulous colours - Candy, Coral, Dusty Rose, Lemon, Mint, Pale Blue, Silver and Turq - perfect for guests who love colour. A calf-length option is also available as style 29662BS.
If you prefer calf-length wedding guest dresses, our third suggestion - style 29664A - is picture-perfect. This calf-length floral print dress has striking off-the-shoulder long blouson sleeves and a flattering waist tie belt so you can be camera-confident. This feminine and floaty chiffon dress is available in three stunning prints - Azul Amarillo, Fuxia Lila and Naranja Amarillo.
Style 29664B - a plain colour version of 29664A - is our fourth pick. This feminine chiffon calf-length dress is available in eight bold colours to suit every wedding guest - Candy, Coral, Dusty Rose, Lemon, Mint, Pale Blue, Silver and Turq. We particularly like Candy, Coral and Dusty Rose for spring and summer weddings.
If you’re looking for more muted colours and a classic wedding guest look, styles 29651 and 29654 both offer elegant calf-length styles.
Style 29651 is our floaty calf-length chiffon dress with a contrasting pleated bodice and matching blouson sleeves for a flattering style. Available in Magenta, Royal, Silver and Taupe, it’s better suited to autumn and winter nuptials but could be worn all-year-round thanks to its ability to be easily accessorised.
Our final choice is style 29654 - an elegant off-the-shoulder short sleeve dress with a feminine coloured chiffon skirt and contrasting ivory embroidered applique bodice. This v-neck dress is available in five contrasting colour options - Ivory/Taupe, Ivory/Navy, Ivory/Silver, Ivory/Dusty Rose - and beautiful berry hue - Cherry Pink/Cherry Pink. Easily accessorised, it’s a firm favourite among all wedding guests.
