Green wedding guest dresses are a classic choice for the hotter season and if there's one thing we gathered from the spring/summer 2023 catwalks, it's that green - in all its tonal variety - is in. It's a perfect choice for a summer wedding guest dress.
Green is synonymous with spring, encompassing the energy and sense of coolness that comes with it. It's an optimistic shade that's easy to wear and will help you stand out from the usual blush pink or red dresses we so often see at weddings. In terms of the exact shade of green, we say: take your pick. Everything from lime green to forest green dresses was prevalent on the spring/summer catwalk, as displayed by designers including Fendi and Givenchy - to name just a few.
So you've settled on green as your hero colour, and now the next - and possibly most important thing to think about is - what style of summer wedding guest dress should you go for? The truth is, it's totally up to you, but we particularly love the cut-out craze that still dominates this year's catwalks. You could even go for a green trouser suit wedding guest outfit, if you're feeling brave.
If the wedding is more traditional, just make sure you're not going too extravagant (perhaps have an oversized blazer on hand if you need your daytime vibe to be a bit smarter) and you're ready to go. Shop our favourite green wedding guest dress below, from Reformation, & Other Stories, H&M and more.
