With something blue being a classic tradition in many weddings, it's only natural that blue wedding guest dresses are some of the most sought-after styles at weddings of every season. Whether it's royal blue for winter or a sky blue mini come summer, there's a perfect blue wedding guest dress for everyone.
Now, blue wedding guest dresses stand the test of time and will suit every skin tone or shape. It's not too controversial like a bold red frock (don't get caught in one of those) and will take you from season to season in azures and navy wedding guest dresses. Plus, blue is easily found throughout most store dress ranges, so you won't have to look too far.
And, it all depends on the theme of the wedding, too. Look to those lighter blues like teal, ice and turquoise for bold summer wedding guest dress options. On the hunt for the perfect winter wedding guest dress? Cosy up in navy, cobalt and marine blue. You just need to look to actress Cressida Bonas for inspiration, gracing Princess Eugenie of York's 2018 wedding with a £790 Devoré Velvet Dress by Tory Burch in deep blue.

Sometimes the best wedding guest dresses are the ones that don't make a scene. This Reformation Juliette Dress is on the shorter side with skinny straps, so you'll want to wear this one to a summer wedding and cosy up with a matching cardigan or blazer for the evening.
What Shades Of Blue Wedding Guest Dresses Are Suitable?
It can be hard to know exactly what to wear to a wedding as a wedding guest dress. Light blues like powder blue, sky blue, and aqua are great for daytime weddings, while navy, cobalt, and royal blue work well for evening affairs. There's a shade of blue and style for everyone, so make sure you choose what you want to wear.
Don't forget that blue maternity wedding guest dresses exist too - so if you're pregnant, you can be just as comfortable as the rest of us. Look for silhouettes that are light but flowy, to give you enough space to move freely and also stop those hot sweats.
What Accessories To Wear With A Blue Wedding Guest Dress?
Ah, accessories. It can be tricky to know what the best wedding guest bags and shoes really are - not to mention the fact you'll want them to match. When it comes to blue wedding guest dresses, look to silver or gold jewellery, neutral or metallic shoes with a similar clutch to match. You'll want to wear something that accentuates the blue rather than takes away from it.
With that being said, clashing colours are very much in at the moment, so if you want to go for a bold moment, don't hold back. Just remember - comfort is key.
