Summer wedding season is here and there’s more reason to celebrate now than ever! It’s been a few years since I’ve actually attended a wedding as most of our friends are now in a season of raising kids, but we just had an invitation arrive in the mail a couple weeks ago. Weddings are kinda my favorite thing ever as there’s no better feeling than getting together to celebrate love, plus it’ll be a nice change of pace to actually get dressed up in a summer wedding guest dress after so many months of living in loungewear this past year!
Summer Wedding Guest Dress
I’m excited to share this dress that I picked up recently that just went on sale and would be perfect if you’re needing a pretty wedding guest outfit. Bonus points too cause it’s such a fun number to dance in too!
This summer has been all about the smocked style and I am HERE. FOR. IT! Not only is smocking super stretchy and comfy, but it’s also incredibly flattering! I love the smocked waist and neck detail here as it is perfect for accentuating those curves (without being too constricting!), plus the combination here really gives the illusion of an hourglass figure. Tiered ruffles softly flare out on the lower half, and no doubt you’ll be feeling flirty and feminine after taking a few steps in this dress! Reviews mention that this dress can run short, but as someone who’s petite at only 5′ tall, I actually found it to hit at the perfect just-past-mid-thigh length on me. I would say that if you’re 5’4 and taller, consider sizing up for added length!
I wore this outfit out a few weeks ago to run errands and later met up with Adrian for a date night. It’s for sure a dress that made me feel so pretty and I was bummed to see that it had sold out a few days later. But, it’s now restocked in almost all sizes and on sale so definitely don’t wait on this one! This dress also comes in several different colors and prints including leopard, floral, and even polka dot if this color isn’t for you. Plus, there are even longer midi and maxi dress styles that give more coverage while still looking so elegant and on trend!

Just a quick note when it comes to accessories. You know I love a statement headband — not only are they such an easy way to make an outfit look “put together” but it’s also great if you’re running on day 5 hair and don’t wanna pile on more dry shampoo. 😆 I’ve been loving the hair accessory selection at Anthropologie actually and find the options to actually be very reasonably priced under $30! And if you’re like me with quite the collection of headbands, I definitely recommend this Amazon headband display holder to help organize — it doubles as a hair tie holder for me as well!
