The LADIESSTREET Edit

Wedding season is here — and finding the perfect guest dress is a sport.

Summer 2026 wedding season is packed. From beachside ceremonies in California to barn weddings in Texas, garden parties in New England to rooftop receptions in Chicago — each wedding has a dress code, and we've got you covered for every single one.

Beach Wedding: California & Florida

Think light, airy, and flowy. Linen mini dresses, floral maxi dresses, and slip dresses in pastel or tropical prints. Flat sandals or block heels work best on sand.

Shop: Vacation Maxi Dresses | Floral Dresses

Garden Party: Northeast & Midwest

Elegant but not too formal. Midi dresses in floral prints or solid jewel tones. Pair with wedges or dressy sandals. A wide-brim hat is optional but very chic.

Shop: Elegant Midi Dresses | Occasion Midi Dresses

Formal/Ballroom: City Weddings

Floor-length gowns, sequin maxi dresses, or elegant satin slips. Heels are expected. Go for rich colors like burgundy, navy, emerald, or champagne.

Shop: Formal Dresses | Evening Maxi Dresses

Barn/Rustic: Country Weddings

Think sundresses, puff sleeve mini dresses, and lace-trimmed styles. Cowboy boots with a floral dress is a whole vibe. Keep it cute but practical for grass and gravel.

Wedding Guest Etiquette Tips:

• Never wear white (obviously!)
• Check the dress code before buying
• Comfortable shoes are a MUST for dancing
• Bring a light layer for evening temperature drops
