Spring wedding season is in full swing and it can be hard to decide what to wear as a wedding guest. Should you choose something short, long, printed, solid, bright colors or neutral? There are so many options out there to choose from so I thought I would share some of my personal looks that would work for a spring wedding as well as other options that would suit a variety of venues and dress codes. When I think of spring wedding guest outfits, I immediately picture lightweight fabrics in soft colors.  Delicate details mixed with neutral accents perfectly embody a spring wedding guest look.

I like to err on the side of being a tad too fancy rather than not fancy enough when it comes to weddings. It’s one of the only times you can really get glam so take advantage of it and enjoy wearing something a bit more dressy. I like my dress to be the star of the look and often choose neutral and simple accessories to wear with my wedding guest dress. Here is a roundup of spring wedding guest outfit ideas at all price points.

What To Wear To a Spring Wedding

Sleeveless Sheath Dress

The cut of this dress is absolutely gorgeous and the color is perfect for spring. The neckline is a bit unique as there is a slight cutaway on one shoulder which is very flattering. I love the midi length of this dress and definitely think it would be a great choice for a cocktail attire dress code as well as something a bit more casual. And I could even see this worn to a beach wedding because of the light green color and mermaid style fit of the bottom portion. I like it worn without a belt but you could also add a delicate metallic or beaded belt to add some texture and color.

What To Wear To An Outdoor Spring Wedding

Floral Maxi Dress (similar)

This is the perfect dress to wear to almost any spring function (graduation, mother’s day, baby shower, wedding, etc). I would opt for a look like this for a garden wedding or something outside. It’s flowy and delicate which is great in the heat though you could always drape a wrap over your shoulders in the evening. It’s not dressy enough for black tie or even cocktail attire, so I would choose this for a slightly more casual wedding or an outdoor wedding.

Midi Floral Print Dress

I actually call this my “wedding guest dress” simply because for me it checks all the boxes of any wedding I could go to. The length makes it suitable for something requiring cocktail attire or for an outdoor garden venue. The embroidering on the dress is so much more beautiful in person and really elevates the entire look. Since it’s not a true pastel or even rich jewel tones, it’s a timeless floral print and color way that would work year round for nearly any season.

Floral Mini Dress

So many wedding guest dresses are typically midi length or ankle length but don’t be afraid of opting for a mini dress for a slightly  more casual dress code.

One Shoulder Ruched Dress

This is one of my most recommended wedding guest dresses. One of my friends purchased it for a spring wedding last year and told me it was one of the best dresses she has ever worn. It comes in a ton of colors but this sage dress would be perfect for a springtime wedding.

Floral Ruffle Maxi Dress

Florals will always be a great option for spring weddings. I really love the tiered skirt with the bold slit to really make a statement.

Slip Maxi Dress

A simple slip dress is a timeless silhouette. If pastels are  not your favorite, this rich blue is still suitable for spring especially with the large floral prints across the dress. And the price point is great!

Pink Gown with Floral Appliques

I’m not normally someone who loves an all pink look but the details of this dress really work with the vibrant shade.

Halter Neck Satin Gown

An absolute stunner for a more formal wedding dress code in a color that could easily be worn all year round. It’s not pastel but still soft enough to embrace spring’s color palette.

Floral Halter Neck Midi Dress

This fit and style reads a bit more casual so it’s a wonderful option for an outdoor spring wedding.

Strapless Floral Midi Dress

Florals done in the most minimal way possible – I absolutely LOVE this dress.

Baby Blue One Shoulder Gown

The draping on this gown is stunning and allows for a gorgeous statement earring!

Lilac Strapless Midi Dress

This dress is a bit more bold though not too trendy so it would still be a style that could be worn for years to come. The floral applique is so unique and would be perfect if you love a more whimsical and artistic type of look.

What Colors to Wear to a Wedding in Spring?

Pastels

This is an obvious choice but pastels will always work for a spring wedding.

Muted shades

Think sage dress instead of sea foam green. Muted shades of bolder colors are great options for spring weddings.

Florals

Not groundbreaking wedding attire but floral prints will forever embody a spring wedding.

As someone who never used to wear jewelry, I realized how much my outfits were missing when getting dressed each morning. I began experimenting with simple pieces that I could wear with everyday looks and now love mixing my favorite bold statement pieces with dainty styles. Wearing jewelry is a great way to elevate your outfits but can make you look overdressed when worn with certain casual looks. It’s important to find the right balance of versatility, comfort, and personal style when deciding what jewelry looks best with casual wear. Not all jewelry styles work best for casual outfits so I am going to share a round up of jewelry options that you can comfortably wear every day.

What Jewelry Is Suitable for Casual Wear?

Casual wear makes up the majority of daily outfits but that doesn’t mean you have to skip on accessorizing with your favorite jewelry pieces. Choosing the right jewelry creates a put-together look with minimal effort. Building a small collection of versatile pieces rather than chasing trends will allow you to accessorize your everyday outfits with confidence and consistency. If you don’t know where to start, I am going to share some jewelry styles that are easy to wear with casual looks but still work well with more professional or dressy looks too. Classic jewelry pieces are versatile with almost any outfit and will style current despite any trends that come and go.

Can You Use Fine Jewelry For Everyday Wear?

Fine jewelry can be worn casually when the design is practical and minimal. A simple tennis bracelet or diamond studs will always be appropriate with any look. It’s important though that you acknowledge your lifestyle and comfortability when deciding what pieces to add to your collection. Fine jewelry will always be timeless but if you are worried about wearing something very expensive with your daily looks, it’s best to opt for a faux version or something less expensive for your day to day outfits. Durability is another important factor to consider when wearing fine jewelry with casual outfits. If an item or piece is too delicate, it’s best to save it for special occasions only.

How To Match Jewelry With Outfits?

Keep One Focal Point

Choose one standout piece (earrings, necklace, or ring) and keep the rest minimal to avoid overpowering a casual outfit.

Match jewelry scale to outfit simplicity

The more relaxed and simple the outfit, the smaller and more streamlined the jewelry should be.

Use layering intentionally

Layer thin necklaces or stack rings sparingly to add interest without creating visual clutter.

Coordinate metals with outfit tones

Warm metals pair best with earthy or neutral colors, while cool metals complement blues, blacks, and grays.

Prioritize comfort and movement

Casual jewelry should not feel restrictive or require frequent adjustment throughout the day.

Mix materials for texture

Mix and match metals with pearls, beads, or natural stones to add depth while keeping the look approachable.

Consider neckline and sleeve length

Match necklace length to the neckline and bracelet or watch size to sleeve style for balanced proportions.

Avoid overly formal pieces

Skip statement necklaces, chandelier earrings, or high-shine cocktail rings that clash with casual aesthetics.

Let personal style lead

Casual wear is the best setting for expressing personality through subtle, meaningful pieces.

Jewelry For Casual Outfits

Stud earrings

Stud earrings are always a classic style and suitable for any and all occasions. Most people immediately think of diamond studs but you don’t have to necessarily splurge on something pricey for it to look chic and polished. There are so many great faux options to choose from or opt for another stone or shape that matches your personal style. I also love how well stud earrings pair with small hoops so you can wear them in a second piercing as well.

Small hoop earrings

For a step up from stud earring styles, opt for a small hoop or huggie. To keep it suitable for everyday wear and casual outfits, don’t choose any hoops larger than a nickel at most. The larger the hoop, the more trendy and less versatile it becomes. That being said, you can experiment with different textures and shapes to expand your options. Even though I personally own a ton of statement earrings, my most worn earrings are my small hoop styles. They truly go with everything. These are the hoops I’ve been wearing a ton recently because they are mixed metal and go with so much!

Delicate chain necklace

When shopping for a necklace that you can wear with any and all outfits, the simpler the style the better. A thin chain with very little detail is easy to style effortlessly with other necklaces. Choosing a length is also important so look for something that falls just below your collarbone. Anything too long or too short won’t be as easy to style with other necklaces. A simple chain style at the perfect length can also be a great anchor for a look with layered necklaces. If a simple dainty chain necklace feels too boring or lacking personal style, another great necklace option for casual outfits is a small tennis necklace. Nothing too big or flashy but a tennis necklace will always look modern and chic and still falls under the category of casual jewelry.

Classic watch

If I’m being honest, I am not a watch lover. I rarely used to ever wear one because too many felt bulky and harder to wear with various different looks. I finally settled on a simple style with a small watch face and wear it all the time. It even looks great stacked with different bracelets or worn alone with any casual outfit.

Sleek bangle

Bracelets can be hit or miss with casual outfits simply because they can be a nuisance if they are moving up and down your wrist. It’s best to pick one style to wear for everyday on one wrist. Wearing bracelets on both wrists is also an option but can look a bit too much if your outfit is very casual. Choose something that is simple but has a bit of character on it. Perhaps a twist clasp or a pave edge will add some interest without being too over the top. Tennis bracelets are another great style that can be worn with any casual look but the same concept applies as with tennis necklaces. A thinner tennis bracelet is less conspicuous and looks more appropriate for everyday. If it’s too bold or flashy, it is harder to style. I personally own this tennis bracelet and love the quality (my discount code is MAREE20). Additionally, when I want something a bit bolder but still great for everyday, I love this mixed metal piece.

Stacking rings

When I mention stacking rings, I am more referring to styles that are very thin and can be worn alone or stacked together. Rings are a great jewelry option to wear with any and all outfits because they are not as noticeable as a necklace or earring may be. But even though they are more discreet, try to stick with no more than two rings per hand. Ideally wearing one ring on one hand and one on the other is a great balance. I definitely consider a wedding band or engagement ring as one of the styles to wear everyday. To balance that you could wear another simple ring style on the same hand or on the opposite hand. Keep your rings on your middle or ring finger for everyday. Anything on the pointer finger or pinky finger is a tad more trendy.
