A Definitive Guide to Wedding Guest Attire, Maternity Edition
Finding the perfect wedding guest dress can be stressful enough, add an ever growing belly to the mix and it seems like a damn near impossible feat.
From concerns of finding a dress you like, to it actually fitting, to the dress STILL fitting by the time of the wedding, to making sure it’s aligned with the wedding dress code, there’s multiple factors to take into consideration. Thankfully we’ve scoured the internet to find the perfect attire for each wedding dress code so you don’t have to.
Cocktail Attire: cocktail attire is probably the most common dress code. For a cocktail attire wedding a midi-dress to above the knee dress with heels are appropriate. Consider the options below. While both dresses aren’t maternity necessarily, they are made out of stretchy fabric with all over ruching and no zippers, making it the perfect dress for a growing bump. Plus you can wear it post-baby too!
Black-tie optional/formal: Black-tie optional wedding is, as the name indicates, slightly less formal than a black-tie wedding. You can wear a floor length gown, or a fancy dress that hits your knees or below. You could even wear a dressy pantsuit - but with a growing bump we prefer dresses.
