If you’re heading to a wedding that is laid-back, beachy, and casual, look no further! In this post, we’re sharing free-spirited boho wedding guest dresses for casual weddings. With low-key, backyard and beach weddings on the rise, it can be difficult as a guest to know what to wear. These options will strike the right balance between being comfortable and stylish. We spotted these bohemian guest dresses at Free People, where they have plenty of options for every summertime celebration you have on your calendar this season.
Let’s get started!
The Rise of Casual and Boho Weddings
When attending a casual boho wedding, it’s important to dress in a casual outfit that is appropriate for the occasion – without outdoing the outfit of the bride. Since the bride will likely be wearing a more casual dress, you’ll want to wear something that is low-key and comfortable, but still dressy enough to look like a guest. Flowy jumpsuits or separates (like skirts and blouses) or mini, midi, or maxi dresses are all perfect for the occasion.
Tips for Choosing the Right Dress
When choosing the perfect dress for a casual wedding, consider the dress code, location of the wedding, and your own personal style. This goes without saying, but DON’T wear white (or champagne, ivory, or light beige). :)
Look for bohemian guest dresses that have flowy and relaxed silhouettes, natural textures and patterns, effortless details like sweetheart necklines and ruffles, and floral prints for the summer.

How to Style These Dresses for a Casual Wedding
