How I Chose the Best Spring Wedding Guest Dresses
To compile this comprehensive list of spring wedding guest dresses for 2025, I received a few recommendations from PureWow editors, vetted hundreds of dresses, studied customer reviews and considered PureWow readers’ repeat buys. To make the cut, the dresses needed to embody spring fashion in all its forms, so I made sure to include dresses of all lengths (minis, midis and maxis), styles and cuts, from smocked bodices to off-the-shoulder stunners to floral prints galore. I also made sure to spotlight pieces with a wide range of sizing and color options. Dress codes were top of mind, too, so you’ll find heaps of gowns for every wedding imaginable—casual, black-tie, beach, you name it.

What to Consider When Shopping for Spring Wedding Guest Dresses
- Consider trends (but don't feel beholden to them): When it comes to trending dresses for spring 2025, I'm unsurprisingly seeing a ton of bright colors and lots of one-shoulder picks. Still, while it’s fun to jump on trends, it never hurts to opt for a timeless pick like a classic black gown. If you do want to try out a trend but would rather not go too far out of your comfort zone, a great, low-commitment way to try out a trend is by opting for a fun shoe, bag or necklace instead of a dress.
- Steer clear of lengths and fits you tend to not like (no matter how hard you try): OK, this sounds self-explanatory, but if you hate high-neck dresses on yourself, don’t buy a high-neck dress. Just because your favorite influencer looked incredible in the high-neck mini dress she wore for her sister’s wedding doesn’t mean you have to get it too.
- Sometimes, the practical choice is the best choice: Since you’ll probably wear this dress more than once, you want to grab something that’s comfortable (think wrap dresses or softer fabrics). You’ll also want to gravitate toward comfortable shoes that won’t kill your feet before the reception even starts, like a black or nude strappy block heel.
- Pay close attention to the material: Whatever you do, don’t forget to glance at the fabric. The wedding’s location, time and dress code all play a part in what materials you’ll want to search for, but don’t forget to consider what works best for your body. Whether you run hot or cold or are searching for a breezy frock that’ll withstand the heat of an outdoor wedding, there are plenty of factors that can affect your decision between chiffon, polyester, linen or cotton.
