Wedding guest dresses
We've rounded up some of the nicest wedding guest dresses we could find.

If you're going to a wedding this summer, choosing what you're going to wear can be a lot of fun.

Where the wedding is being held, what time of day it is, and what sort of budget you're on can all determine the outfit you choose.

We've narrowed down some of the best options out there for every sort of wedding, whatever you want to spend:

Evening wedding

An evening ceremony is a great excuse to really glam up. This Petal + Pup Luella dress in rust, $79.95, is a gorgeous colour in a slinky fabric. It's maxi-length so appropriate for evening, but with one-shoulder to give it an edge. It has a gathered side detail and a soft, satin feel.

Traditional wedding

Just because a ceremony is traditional doesn't mean you have to be boring. This Sacha Drake Hour of the Arcade Wrap Dress, $549.00, is seriously striking. It's made from silk, and is a wrap design so it hugs the waist and gives a good swish when you move. Perfect for a formal day event and dancing in the evening.
