Women's Formal Wedding Guest Dresses

Whether the invitation calls for "black tie" or "black tie optional" looks, when an occasion as momentous as a wedding arises, you rise to the occasion yourself. With formal wedding guest dresses in classic styles, trend-forward designs, feminine cuts, bright colors, deep hues, and soft neutrals, no matter what your signature style may be, you'll find the perfect way to elevate your look to occasion status - and celebrate the happy couple in style. 

Black Tie Wedding Guest Dresses. Weddings are fantasies brought to life and through the clothes we wear, we can help perpetuate the fantasy or shatter it entirely. So, when the invitation indicates formalwear for a wedding, choose your look carefully. With floor-sweeping gowns and ankle-grazing hemlines, our newest collection of formal wedding guest dresses allows you to create an elegant silhouette - and its shimmering fabrics, chic prints, sophisticated palette, and flattering cuts allow you to elevate your look without sacrificing your personal style.

Semi-Formal Dresses for Weddings. For "black-tie optional" looks, our newest collection of semi-formal dresses for weddings features slightly-more-casual-though-no-less-sophisticated options for special-occasion dressing. With long gowns and midi-length dresses in stylish prints, sparkling sequins, and stunning metallics, plus cocktail dresses in delicate silk and shimmering satin, you can dress for yourself and the occasion - and raise a glass to the couple as they embrace the future with love. 

Although the world is becoming increasingly casual, with life's biggest celebrations often following suit, formal attire for weddings will never go out of style. In The Wedding Shop you'll find everything you need to fete those you know properly. From formal and semi-formal looks, including cocktail wedding guest dresses from, Adrianna Papell, to beach wedding guest dresses from brands like AQUA and BCBGMAXAZRIA, with dresses for all the weddings on your social calendar, The Wedding Shop can help you create the perfect special-occasion look.
