Jewel-tone Wedding Guest Dresses

Notable spring hues to keep your eyes on are all in the jewel family: think sapphire blues, emerald greens, and ruby reds. The combination of glossy fabric and rich colors gives off an effortless vibe. Allow the dress to do the talking, and keep your look minimalistic with simple jewelry and a pair of timeless black slingback heels.

Spring Wedding Guest Dresses With Bows


Fans of the bow accessories trend will be happy to hear they aren't going anywhere this spring. The coquette aesthetic and balletcore trends are perfect for romantic events, and we can bet you'll see fluttery and dreamy dresses adorned with bows at upcoming weddings. If that's not your vibe, remember bows don't need to feel sweet and girly: New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2024 made its stamp of approval on voluminous bows that feel abstract and bold. You can also opt for a style with a simple bow in the back or on the neckline.
