One of the most frequently asked questions I receive via email and direct message is — “What should I wear to a wedding with xyz dress code?!” (You can see a chain of my responses to this query across Magpie Mail posts over the past few months, including this one, this one, and this one.) Here, I thought I’d round up a few of my top picks, as I’ve given this question a lot of personal thought since I will be heading to a wedding in just over a month:
Evening Wedding Guest Dresses.
Most of these would work great for black tie or black tie optional:
THIS LACY ICE BLUE SELF-PORTRAIT
THIS RDR (WHAT PANACHE!!! THE CUT IS FANTASTIC!)
THIS ASYMMETRIC FLORAL (UNDER $160)
THIS NEEDLE & THREAD (ON SALE)
THIS VA-VA VOOM IN ALL BLACK FOR THE MINIMALISTA (AVAIL IN OTHER COLORS HERE)
Daytime Wedding Guest Dresses.
THIS FLORAL LA DOUBLE J (SWOON)
ANYTHING BY LOVESHACKFANCY (THIS ONE IS ON SALE)
Beach Wedding Guest Dress.
THIS AGUA BY AGUA BENDITA MAXI
SEASHELL EARRINGS (ON SUPER SALE)

PLEATED FLORAL (CURRENTLY ON SALE FOR $59)
THIS FASHION-FORWARD FLORAL ORGANZA (YOWZA)
PLEATED TRAPEZE DRESS (MUST BE WORN WITH HUGE EARRINGS AND HIGH HEELS TO DRESS IT UP)
P.S. Any time I think about a wedding, I think about the long and bumpy road to my own engagement.
