There’s a lot more that goes into a wedding RSVP than just confirming your attendance or choosing an entrée (I’ll always have the filet mignon, thank you very much). Saying yes is just the start of a logistical marathon. And the most important detail on the checklist? The quest to find the perfect wedding guest dress.
But as much as you may wanna wow the reception—especially if there’s a hot groomsman in the bridal party—it feels silly to splurge on something you’ll wear for a grand total of six hours before stuffing into the back of your closet. That’s where Quince comes in. The retailer’s new arrivals section is brimming with chic wedding guest dresses, and the real kicker? Some are under $100, so you can save the extra cash for a hotel room or shower gift.
While you might want to brush up on dress code etiquette a bit before panic-ordering a style that’s three inches too short for a black-tie wedding (use our cheat sheet for what to wear to a wedding!), there is something for pretty much every type of nuptials: formal, semi-formal, cocktail, the list goes on.
Take the Bianca Stretch Satin Dress, for example. The buttery satin, bias-cut slip silhouette, and floor-length skirt make it versatile enough for a formal affair or cocktail event, and it comes in so many different hues it's even an option for bridesmaids. The Aurora Stretch Satin Convertible Dress feels a little more dramatic thanks to its draped off-the-shoulder neckline and high front slit—and the powder blue colorway is practically begging for a spring or summer wedding invite. And if you're looking for something perfectly on trend, this Catalina Stretch Satin Dress, with its halter-tie neckline and pale butter yellow finish, is stunning.
Personally? I’ll be begging my friends to get married just for an excuse to snatch up one of these dresses.
