Black Dresses for a Wedding Guest
know many of you are looking for elegant black dresses and how hard it can be to find the right one despite all the options! One of my most requested blog posts is always wedding guest attire. I love wearing a chic black dress to a wedding, regardless of time of year. In this post I style three black dresses for wedding guests and then Kimberly updated the post and added a bunch of her favorites down at the bottom! All of these would work perfectly for your next wedding or event.
PS- I recommend grabbing these spanx to wear with these dresses. You will just feel a little more comfortable and you won’t hesitate to grab a piece of cake (or two!)
Updated June 2025 to include the latest, trending, black dresses for wedding guests. Originally posted in August 2019.
This gorgeous strapless dress above has a fiery slit up the right leg. Ow ow! The movement of the dress is so pretty and you are sure to turn some heads on the dance floor! You could pair this with pops of red, animal print, or you could add a little drama with some statement earrings.
How stunning is this dress? It is definitely my favorite. It fits a little small, so I would recommend going up a size for the most comfort -since we all like to jig it up on the dance floor! Since this dress is so pretty on it’s own, I paired it with some subtle nude accessories. You can let the lace do all the talking!
This is a little more casual but still beautiful! I love the bottom and the way it flows when you walk. I wore these pasties with it since you can’t really wear a bra! Since this dress is a little more simple, I added a fun pair of mules and my new Chanel clip on earrings. I got the earrings at Shopbop in their Designer Boutique section!
Here are more black dresses we are loving:
