From My Styling Suite: 10 Weddings Guest Dresses That Broke IG

Wedding Guest Looks That Broke Instagram

Dress for a Night • Designer Dress Hire


A common question I am asked as a member of the Dress for a Night styling team is: “What are the most popular wedding guest dresses?” To answer, let's turn to social media and look at our most Instagrammable looks throughout the past year.  
 

 


What Makes a Dress 'Instagrammable'?

Think about the first thing you see when you notice a wedding guest dress on Instagram. Is it the colour? Intricate details? Unique cuts? Yes, it is definitely up to personal style.

 

However, what I have found most popular on Instagram are dresses that have unique features, whether it is a statement cut out, embellishment such as a flower, or a vibrant colour.

 

It is also essential to note the importance of styling and accessorising for different wedding settings; such as, black tie, cocktail and garden weddings.

Albina Dyla Leaf Gown

The Albina Dyla gown is one of our most Instagrammed dresses that will for sure make a statement at any wedding.

 

I would recommend this gown for a black tie formal wedding – due to the gorgeous beading on the dress there are minimal accessories needed to perfect this look.

 

A simple nude or black shoe with a matching bag would be a stunning finishing touch for this wedding guest dress.

 


Misha Eviana Gown

I am obsessed! This dress by Misha is the most beautiful pink wedding guest dress. This dress has been so popular across both Instagram and in store - and for good reason.

 

The vibrant pink is such a statement and the low back is just beautiful. I myself have worn this dress many times and let me tell you, I have never received so many compliments in my life! The low back and detail of the dress creates an ICONIC Insta shot.


Alemais Dana Midi Dress (Marigold)

I have never seen a dress that is so perfect for a garden/floral wedding – the colour and pattern is absolutely stunning.

 

The Dana is a Midi dress with a beautifully tailored bodice that offers a flattering fit. Its long, voluminous skirt adds extra comfort – perfect for those who want to feel stylish and at ease all day long.

Lexi Samira Dress

She is the moment! This has been one of my favourite wedding guest dresses – it's so simple and elegant. Not only does it have a beautiful detail across the back but it's available in so many different colours! You may have seen the Orion Blue on our Instagram, she is definitely a fan fave!

 

Also available in black, burgundy and white, the Samira is the perfect dress when you just don't know what to wear. I would recommend styling with a simple pair of heels and maybe a pop of colour with a cute bag.


Lia Stublla Eviana Gown

If you want to look snatched and sophisticated as a wedding guest you have come to the right place. The Eviana Gown is easily one of our most Instagrammed dresses.

 

I will never be tired of seeing this dress – the long train adds a serious ‘wow’ factor, whilst showcasing your figure with the tie up corset back. The simplicity of this gown makes it effortlessly chic, ensuring you look stunning without taking attention away from the bride.  

 

This dress is perfect for a black tie formal wedding and is available in so many different colours!


Ivona Skelo Vivia Dress

This has to be one of my faves – the simplicity of this dress is just so beautiful. It’s incredibly versatile, making it the perfect choice if you’re ever unsure about what to wear as a maxi wedding guest dress or for a formal or black-tie event.

 

The diamanté cut outs give it the unique edge that has drawn so many people to wear this show-stopping dress. Plus, its unique design makes styling effortless – just add some simple earrings or braclets and a monochrome bag, and you’re ready to slay!

Trust me, this is the dress of your dreams! The Lexi Cruz dress is the ultmate princess gown with an elegant twist.

Lia Stublla Blair Gown

Last but certainly not least, the Blair gown is absolutely gorgeous. I have never seen so many people fall in love with a dress so quickly.
