If I had a dollar for every wedding guest dress I’ve been asked to find, I could retire 30 years early. I’d argue there’s no greater shopping challenge than finding an on-trend, unique, not-too-flashy option that somehow fits a dress code. Is that too much to ask? After many, many hours of market research, I’ve narrowed down my findings to the following 25 items. I’ve included florals, polka dots, and mini and maxi lengths. Plus, I threw in some cute accessories to consider. Shopping for a wedding, bridal shower, or bachelorette should be fun, but I understand how much time it can take. All you need is a quick scroll through the following items, and you’ll be good to go.
