Wedding season is my favorite season! I’ve always joked that wedding style is fitting to my personal style because of all the lace, appliqué, feminine silhouettes and romantic details (except it’s 100% the truth haha!). But you’re probably here because you’re wondering where to find wedding guest dresses and what to wear to a wedding as a guest?
There’s so many options for classic, timeless and elegant dresses but what if your style leans more on the romantic and whimsical side? Of course, we never want to upstage the bride but these dresses are bound to keep the compliments coming in all night (and make you feel like a real-life princess!). JessaKae and AW Bridal are two of the best brands for wedding guest dresses, in my opinion (including wedding guest dresses with sleeves and size inclusive options as well!).
Read on for six fairytale wedding guest dresses!

6 Fairytale Wedding Guest Dresses
Outfit Details

Coquette
This coquette darling of a dress is one my favorite wedding guest dresses! It’s perfect for the warmer weather and for all of my girly girls out there. I just adore the full tulle skirt, bow straps and 3D floral applique (see this post for more 3D floral wedding guest dresses!). It’s the perfect shade of pink and can be styled many different ways. I went for a monochrome look with a pink heart bag, pink heels, a rosette bow choker and a pearl headband. The result is an ultra feminine romantic look fit for a princess! If you love a structured, flattering corset dress fit, you’ll especially love this option because it has a corset-inspired silhouette with a defined waist and dreamy, romantic details.
P.S. See it styled here with a leather jacket for a slightly more edgy look!

Whimsical
Now this is a princess dress if I ever saw one! If you’re looking for wedding guest dresses that makes an entrance, this is a great option! With multicolor sequin florals, delicate lace trimming and feminine puff sleeves, this beauty stands out in the best way. The shorter length is absolutely adorable and although there’s a ton going on, somehow it just works. I styled it with a lilac heart handbag, classic white heels and a bow headband to add even more whimsy to an already whimsical dress!

Romantic
This dress silhouette is one of my very favorites from JessaKae! Any of the Thumbelina variations would make excellent wedding guest dresses (see the pink one here!). With cascading ruffles, a sweetheart neckline, pretty puff sleeves, and a stunning light blue hue, this dress is reminiscient of what Cinderella would wear. To add even more elegance to this fairytale look, I added pearl accessories, white bow heels and a matching aquamarine princess ring. It’s definitely the ultimate princess dress!

Princess
This pretty pink darling is the most wearable of these wedding guest dresses. Sequins and applique are replaced with frills and soft watercolor florals. The pink hue is absolutely stunning and the short length is super twirly. It still has a princessy vibe with the oversized puff sleeves yet it’s wearable and classy. I styled it with a pink handbag, white bow heels and pearl accessories. Any girly girl would feel gorgeous in this dream dress!

The full tulle skirt and flutter sleeves ensure a lovely night of twirling and dancing. For this look, I added a light blush pink handbag, timeless white heels, pearl jewelry and a headband that looks like a tiara. You’re definitely going to feel like royalty in this dream of a dress!

Fairytale
Look up the definition of fairytale and you’ll see this romantic lilac floral wedding guest dress! 3D florals in pastel hues of pink, lilac and buttercream adorn every inch for an incredibly feminine look. The sheer sleeves, fitted top and flowing skirt all flatter in the best way. I added a pink heart handbag and matching shoes along with pearl accessories to create an outfit fit for a princess. This dress is honestly one of my favorites of all time (and that says a lot!).
For a fun touch at themed weddings or fantasy-inspired events, consider incorporating heroic knight armor as décor or costume. It adds an eye-catching element of medieval romance and brings a whimsical, storybook feel to your celebration.
