What Is Wedding Guest Attire for Spring?

Wondering what's popular in spring wedding guest fashion this year? We're channeling our expertise and sharing the top trends you'll definitely see this upcoming season (and even into summer).

What to Wear to a Spring Wedding in 2025

Spring weddings present the perfect opportunity to break out your florals. Go bold with spring wedding guest dresses featuring vibrant, oversized blooms, or subtle with micro-prints on your tie or pocket square. Either way, you'll be totally in style for the season. When it comes to fabric, opt for lightweight and breathable options, like satin or linen, that can withstand the heat (especially if you're headed to an outdoor event).

Colors to Wear to a Spring Wedding

From baby blues to soft yellow hues, pastels are the perfect choice for a spring wedding. Whether you choose to sport a dress or suit in a pastel hue, or incorporate the colors into your accessories, you're guaranteed to make a statement. Of course, don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to color either. Jewel tones, neons and even black are totally appropriate options for spring as well. Just be sure to stick to the wedding dress code and avoid wearing white (unless the couple says otherwise).

Formal Spring Wedding Attire for Guests

Unless the wedding specifies black-tie attire (in which case you should opt for black or a similar dark shade) feel free to experiment with bright, springtime colors like pink, yellow or green for formal wedding attire in the spring. If you're planning on wearing a dress, floor-length is recommended. For men's spring wedding attire, consider wearing a suit and tie.

Spring Cocktail Attire for Wedding Guests

In terms of formality, cocktail attire for a spring wedding falls somewhere between formal and semi-formal. You'll want to dress to impress, but not quite to the extent of the former. Instead, opt for a classic midi dress in a seasonal print. For suiting, you can skip the tie and go for a fun and festive pocket square instead.

Semi-Formal Spring Wedding Attire

While semi-formal weddings (and even casual weddings) are inherently more laid-back, that doesn't mean you can't get dressed up. In fact, casual wedding attire is a fine balance between relaxed yet still wedding-appropriate. When in doubt, a midi silhouette with sandals or a button-down and slacks is sure to do the trick.

Cold Spring Wedding Guest Outfit Ideas

Depending on where you're headed for the wedding this season, the weather might not be feeling like spring just yet. Our solution: Always come prepared with layers just in case. For what to wear over a dress, we recommend throwing on a pair of nude tights underneath or adding a cozy shawl on top. For suiting, swap your sport coat with a long wool coat or pea coat.

Outdoor Spring Wedding Guest Outfit Ideas

Here's something predictable: Spring weather is anything but. If you're looking for outdoor wedding guest attire this season, prepare for cold weather just in case (layers are key). Despite what the forecast says, it's never a bad idea to have a pashmina or jacket on hand, and the good news is that there are plenty of stylish ways to incorporate them into your wedding guest look. (Pro tip: Pair these looks with some of our favorite shoes for a wedding on grass).
