Dresses for Wedding Guest Over 50

Fabulous not Frumpy

Hello Terry,

Ask any woman over 50 who has an upcoming wedding to attend and they will tell you how frustrating it is to find the perfect dress for their age group.

When they type “wedding guest dresses” in the search bar, the results always show wedding guest attire for younger women. From dresses with thigh-high slits, a very low open back, to even multiple cut-outs. And even when dresses for wedding guests over 50 do pop up, they usually look dated and frumpy.

You probably have a vision of what your ideal wedding guest dress is, but you don’t know where to find it. To help you with your search, I have listed the most flattering dresses for wedding guests over 50.

And the best part? These beautiful styles are perfect for every season and themed wedding so you will be prepared in advance even before your wedding invitation arrives in the mail!

XO, Terry

Summer Eventer Event

Are you headed to a beach wedding this summer but have nothing to wear?

Warmer weather is the perfect time to sport bright seasonal shades and lightweight fabrics. Your dress will blend in perfectly with the bright colors of the scenery and the tropical feel of the beach.

For those that like coverage on their arms, this dress offers that without looking dowdy, but still has a v neck to allow for some breeze.

For those that are worried about overheating as the happy couple says their “I do’s”, consider a sleeveless halter neckline. Halter necklines are “in” right now, but they have a classic that you can wear for many years to come. The sleeveless design of this unique dress is perfect for warmer months, without any revealing cuts in the front.

For a Daytime Spring Wedding

Bridal party colors during the spring are all about pastel shades. So we think this A-line dress is the best dress for a daytime wedding in the spring! Don’t let the length scare you away. This pretty dress can easily be paired with tights to give you some coverage.

The bow detail is a cute detail that will get you so many compliments. It is a detail that makes it different from other ordinary A-line dresses. And the frill hem is the perfect finishing touch.

If you attended a spring wedding last year in a dress with a floral design, why not switch things up this year? We cannot help but get romantic spring vibes from this pink dress.

The wrap dress with a bow adds an ultra-feminine touch to this spring-appropriate dress. To draw attention more to the v neckline, you can throw on a dainty necklace to elevate your wedding guest even more.

Round off your dress with nude heels, and you will be able to watch the “I-do’s” in style.

Wedding Reception

Dresses for wedding guests over 50 don’t have to be boring!

Nothing screams playful yet chic like a flouncy tiered floral dress with lace and bows. The pleats and fitted bodice make this dress flirty yet elegant. Make this dress extra glamourous with black heels and you will be more than ready to dance the night away.

Are you still trying to figure out the best dress for wedding guests over 50? Just take a look at this dress and you will be tempted to add this to your cart!

This classic sheath dress features a flared hem that makes it feel party-ready. The silhouette will give you ease of movement when you travel from the wedding ceremony to the reception.

Because this dress has a lot of feminine statement details, keep your accessories simple. A mini purse and nude heels will finish off your look perfectly.

Dresses for wedding guests over 50 don’t have to be any less than chic. If the wedding guest dresses you are finding are dated and dull, just take a pick from these dress styles for mature women.
