The cottagecore and balletcore trends of the past few years have merged with sleeker ruffles and elegant silhouettes. The result is fluttery, dreamy dresses that skew squarely in "party-ready" mode. However, don't worry; your favorite puff sleeves and tiered styles aren't going anywhere. Choose from a flowy or more body-hugging dresses to fit your style and the wedding's vibe.

Y2K Wedding Guest Dresses
The term "Y2K fashion" may conjure up belly tees and low-rise flares, but the trend has also made its way into formal wear — and it's not as risqué as you'd imagine. This spring, expect the likes of early 2000s slip dress styles, nostalgic frills, and sherbet colorways.

Satin Wedding Guest Dresses
Exude elegance in a silky satin gown for a black-tie wedding. Not only do popular pastel tones work well in spring, but the fabric gives off an effortless (and cooling] luxe appearance. Keep your look minimalistic and chic with a pair of strappy heels or cream-colored mules.
Designers reinterpreted the classic dress train for their spring 2023 runway shows, and we're on board. Mini dresses are now accompanied by floor-length trains with bows or delicate and reserved side trains. We believe that you'll be seeing this dramatic accent more frequently — and that you'll look amazing in one, too.
