Jewel-Tone Wedding Guest Dresses
Notable spring hues (and 2024 fashion color trends) to keep your eyes on are all in the jewel family: think tropical teal, midnight blues, and wine red. 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.

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.
