The best winter wedding guest dresses are a glamorous affair: dreamy sequins, a variety of long-sleeve styles, and a little sparkle. To help you find the best dress options, we spoke with wedding experts for tips and recommendations.
As we saw with fall wedding guest dress trends, slip dresses and sequined styles catch the eye for winter weddings, says Sky Pollard, head of product at clothing-rental company Nuuly. Both options can easily be dressed up or down depending on the venue, month, and of course, the dress code. Emily Forrest, wedding and registry expert and director of communications at wedding website Zola recommends branching out in terms of textures and styles with lace and velvet. While Madeleine Bokan Thares, a wedding planner and author of the email newsletter Upstate I Do, recommends maxi-length dresses so you can easily hide your boots when venturing outdoors for any photos. (And it goes without saying that you should never, ever wear white or cream unless the couple has specifically asked you to.)
