Wedding season is upon us, and with new invitations arriving every day, the desire to update your guest dress collection (and avoid Instagram repetition) is growing. But it can be hard to know where to start when you have countless themes, venues and dress codes to adhere to. Thankfully, Nordstrom came to the rescue, curating a storefront of more than 7,000 wedding dresses.
From black tie-approved silk dresses to party wear, Nordstrom has it all. Lauren Ralph Lauren, Mac Duggal, Reformation and other coveted labels are even listed, bringing plenty of flattering, eye-catching selections. But thousands of dresses are still to be browsed – so I did the work for you and found 13 dresses that are worth your time.
13 Nordstrom Wedding Guest Dresses
1. Editor's Favorite: Spring festivals call for a fun print – and this ruffle-embellished, paisley Lauren Ralph Lauren gown exudes elegance while elongating the silhouette.
2. Black Tie Dress Code: Keep it classy in this Steve Madden satin maxi dress. Enjoy simple details like a high neck, cut-out shoulders and a ribbon tie.
3. Miscellaneous Findings: If you're looking for a dress that you can wear beyond the big day, then secure the Reformation Prescott maxi dress. The bateau neckline adds a retro element, while the gathered fabric at the hem enhances the fluid design.
4. Editor Owner: You can't go wrong with a colorful maxi dress from Petal & Pup. I own this exact style and I can't get over the heavy movement, V-line and soft texture.
5. Under $100: Finding a classy wedding guest dress for under $100 isn't uncommon — but this classy silhouette from Chelsea28 delivers. Look forward to the floral print, sleeveless design and maxi length.
6. Foreign Marriage – Allowed: I had an outdoor wedding and I know firsthand how toasty it can get. Beat the heat with a lightweight, moisture-wicking garment from Astr the Label. Ruffle trim, a seamed bodice and a midi length add a flirty touch.
7. Make a statement: Do you want to turn heads? Then reach for this Mac Duggal one-shoulder gown. The side cutout, the high-waisted slit and the chiffon print will surely get compliments.
8. Beach Wedding: Heading to a tropical destination for a loved one's nuptials? Take this twisted Donna Karan gown in New York. If the plunging neckline and leg cut weren't enough, the bright sun yellow color is.
9. Short and Sweet: Sometimes a little dress is the way to go, and this Treasure & Bond puff-sleeve frock hits the spot. Enjoy the smocked waist, open skirt and head-turning coral color.
10. Spring Matters: You can't have spring without a fun Lilly Pulitzer dress. This pretty pink find features lace trim, a ribbon belt and a dreamy floral print.
11. Airy and Comfortable: This 100% cotton Frances Valentine off the shoulder dress will keep you cool and comfortable all night long. Is it better? The ruffled hem and bold design will instantly put you on the best-dressed list.
12. Ballroom Ready: This cold shoulder chiffon gown from Chelsea28 is made for elegant occasions. The mint color and cute shape make the design 'Disney Princess' (in the best way), and it's no doubt perfect for spinning all night.
13. Button-Down Easy: Add this romantic Elliott gown to your cart ASAP, boasting a fully layered floral print and halter neck.
