New week – new wedding? Most likely. All in all, 2024 is the year of weddings. Big weddings! Weddings that require a wedding guest wardrobe – and not just one wedding guest dress.

As it comes, a wedding guest can’t get through a wedding in merely one wedding guest outfit in 2024. Especially not when competing for the title of the 2024 best-dressed wedding guest.

It turns out that getting the title of the best-dressed guest at the wedding in 2024 takes some fashion knowledge. By the way, have you read my tips on how to be the best-dressed wedding guest already?

It’s nice to make an effort for that special day. Especially if it’s your friend’s wedding. Be respectful of the surroundings and choose looks that suit the occasion. It’s a good idea to check with the bride to see what direction the bridal party is taking. Remember, different types of weddings require different types of wedding guest outfits.

Always have the location in mind and never be in competition with the bride. In most places, this involves avoiding shades close to white, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t a vast array of other options.

CLASSY WEDDING GUEST OUTFITS FOR A CHURCH WEDDING

Pastels, silk and lace always look elegantly poised in a pastoral setting. But just as it happens, 2024 is the year of pastel blue wedding bridesmaid dresses.

Join the nuptials with an old money wedding guest dress in pastel blue, it will look so fitting against the backdrop of the season.

Btw I have this gorgeous pastel blue dress from the product gallery below and it is so beautiful. Take your normal size. Size UK4 (the smallest size this dress comes in) is slightly too big for me, which indicates it will fit you perfectly if you are not as skinny as me. I will need to have it taken in at the shoulders.

2 ELEGANT SHORT LACE WEDDING GUEST DRESS WITH HEELS

Highly detailed materials always provide a sense of occasion. Lace offers a distinctive touch to the ceremony. Finish with precious heels for a dash of extra flair.

3 SHORT TWEED WEDDING GUEST DRESS WITH PUMPS

Choice of fabrics is all important for a wedding held during the day – even more for a church wedding.

For a traditional wedding format that takes you from the morning ceremony at the church to dancing after dinner, you need options that go seamlessly from day to night. A green wedding guest dress is perfectly suited for the occasion and the location.
