Wedding season is in full swing, and there’s something about a summertime wedding that makes my heart so happy. Sure, weddings are always great regardless of what season they take place in, and it’s always a blast to get dressed up to celebrate your friends and family who are tying the knot. However, I love a summer wedding because in my opinion, the wedding guest attire is much more fun when it’s warm outside. Dresses and jumpsuits are summery, bright, and lightweight, which makes it so much easier to break it down on the dance floor.
Surprisingly, I only had two weddings to attend this summer. ONLY TWO. Isn’t that insane? I feel like everyone else I know is attending weddings left and right! One of the weddings I attended was in Charleston, South Carolina, and the other was in Columbia, South Carolina. Both weddings were absolutely perfect, and a total blast to attend. The idea for this blog post actually came to me as I was dress shopping for the wedding I attended in Charleston. As I was shopping, I realized how hard it was to narrow down my dress selection. I mean, with SO many dresses to choose from, how is anyone supposed to pick just one?
On top of the endless options, it’s also extremely tough to dress shop online without paying extremely close attention to the product descriptions; that is, if online retailers list the descriptions properly. There were multiple dresses I ordered for the Charleston wedding that looked like they were “cocktail” dresses online, only to appear to be much more casual (due to the fabric) in person once they arrived.
In order to save everyone from going through the trouble that I went through when searching for the perfect dress (and to save you from having to go through the dreaded RETURN process), I’ve pulled together a ton of gorgeous, chic, and affordable wedding guest dress options for summer weddings. Enjoy!
