Wedding Guest Dresses

Wedding guest dresses

The right wedding guest dress depends on the venue, the season and how long you will be on your feet. Forcast wedding guest dresses cover all three: tailored minis and pencil midis for a city ceremony, linen blends for a garden or beach wedding, and satin for an evening reception, in sizes 4 to 18.

Match the dress to the wedding

For a church or registry ceremony followed by a formal reception, a fitted midi such as the Mila Pencil Midi Dress or the Safira Fitted Dress is the safe choice. For an outdoor wedding in summer, the Tory Linen Blend Panel Dress or the Kendal Linen Blend Dress stays cool and looks considered. For a cocktail-style reception, a satin V-neck or a twist-shoulder dress does the work. If the invitation says relaxed, a shirt dress with sleeves is a good middle ground.

Sleeves, length and colour

Sleeves matter on a long day. Short-sleeve panel dresses, lantern-sleeve shirt dresses and dolman midis give coverage without a jacket. On length, a midi suits almost every wedding; a mini is fine for a daytime or casual celebration. Leave white and ivory to the bride and look at navy, prints and colour instead. Black works for an evening wedding.

Fabric and fit

Satin catches the light and suits the evening. Linen blends breathe in the heat. Panel dresses hold their shape from the ceremony to the last dance. Fitted styles depend on measurements, so check the size guide before you order and allow time for an exchange.

Finish the look

Pair a plain dress with earrings and a small bag. A cropped jacket covers a cool ceremony. If the dress code is formal or black tie, the wider event dresses range is the place to start. Standard delivery is free on Australian orders over $100, express delivery is $12.99, and you have 30 days to return or exchange, online or in any Forcast store across New South Wales, Victoria and the ACT.
