By now, wedding season has officially kicked off for the year and you may be wondering what to wear. Once you know what the dress code is, you can figure what to wear that’s appropriate but still chic. Just because it’s a wedding, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your outfit! Here are some of my fave brands and options for not so basic dresses to wear to a wedding.

Be the Best Dressed Guest at a Wedding

+ For Love and Lemons

You really can’t go wrong with anything from For Love and Lemons. Perfect for the girl who wants to stand out in a crowd, their dresses are anything but basic and always make a statement. As a personal lover of all things For Love and Lemons, I fell in love with this floral yellow maxi that is perfect for spring. The collections definitely straddle the line of what’s wedding appropriate (avoid anything too short!), but their maxis are gorgeous statement pieces.

+ V Chapman Studios

I found this brand on Instagram, and have been dying to scoop up one of the dresses in this collection myself. How gorgeous is this silhouette and this mustard yellow dress?!

+ Likely

Their dresses are well made and super flattering, and come in a wide range of colors. They are a little safer, but on the plus side you could probably get away with wearing them multiple times.

+ Alice McCall

Fun and flirty styles that are romantic yet unique. When I see Alice McCall dresses I think spring and summer. The shorter dresses work well for cocktail parties or more casual spring/summer weddings as well.

+ Revolve

Revolve’s collection of in-house brands (Majorelle, Lovers + Friends, NBD) have a surprisingly diverse and very cute collection of long dresses that are perfect for attending a wedding. I linked some of my favorites below – these are all formal enough to work for black tie optional or black tie weddings.

+ Rent the Runway

When all else fails, my go-to is Rent the Runway. The service is so easy to use and you’ll never have to worry about wearing the same thing twice. If you have a lot of events coming up I recommend their Unlimited subscription – it ends up being more economical. Some of my favorite brands for dresses on Rent the Runway: Reformation, AMUR, Marchesa Notte, Nicholas, and Solace.
