Weddings filling your calendar, but short on ideas of what to wear? Enter this fun Lilly Pulitzer number that’s flattering for a variety of body shapes and sizes, and a colorful addition to any summer wardrobe. Warm weather weddings call for a colorful wedding guest dress that’s comfortable and fun to wear!

A handful of the summer weddings I’ve attended have been outside, which means reaching for a cocktail length dress is a no-brainer. And while I’ve personally worn dark colors like navy or black to a handful of weddings (ones in the fall or winter), I’ll never miss out on a chance to wear something colorful and happy.

Colorful Wedding Guest Dress Idea

It’s no secret Lilly Pulitzer is one of my favorite brands, I’ve been wearing it ever since I was a little girl. Their colorful prints and patterns scream fun and the variety of classic silhouettes are perfect for so many women.

The shift dress is a synonymous shape when it comes to Lilly Pulitzer, but the brand offers plenty of updated silhouettes as well. With wedding season in full swing, feeling great in your frock is important! The is modern and comfortable. The smocking is flattering, and gives the waist definition.

pieces can be a bit bold, with all the print and color, but I love that their prints make me smile. It’s certainly why I still wear Lilly Pulitzer all these years later!

But if you’re headed to a wedding that’s dress code is a bit more formal, I love this paired with some and . Sometimes colorful doesn’t have to be a full on print! And this colorful wedding guest dress is timeless and perfect for a wedding or a tropical vacation.

I’ve picked out a few other wedding guest dresses that are colorful and beautiful options for an upcoming relative or friend’s nuptials. Check them out below!
