Small intimate weddings have grown in popularity, especially this year. We have had a few friends request to have small weddings under our rose trellis at our flower farm in the last year. With that being said, garden weddings are now more popular than ever and we couldn’t be happier! Getting married or attending a wedding surrounded by beautiful garden roses, lush hydrangeas, weeping willows, and magnolia trees sounds like an absolute dream! One thing is for sure, if you’re attending a garden wedding, you’ll want to buy the perfect dress. With most of us living in joggers over the last year, we all deserve a fabulous new dress!
Choosing the perfect dress can be a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. You can’t go wrong with a classic fit and flare, lace, floral, or a beautiful rose pink! Like many of you, I love statement sleeves, especially puff sleeves, bell sleeves, and 2022’s latest trend: the padded shoulder! There are so many options. If you’re searching for the perfect dress for a garden wedding or a small intimate wedding elsewhere, you’re in luck! Today, I’m excited to share 21 wedding guest dresses you will love in a variety of styles and price ranges.
