Spring is an ideal time for weddings, but it is also one of the trickiest to find the perfect dress to wear as a guest. When you’re looking for a dress with sleeves, finding one that is appropriate for the season and stylish for the occasion can be especially challenging. But don’t worry – we’ve got you covered! In this blog post, we’re showing you the popular trends of the season and where to find the perfect spring wedding guest dresses with sleeves so you can rock that dance floor.
We’ll talk about floral prints and patterns, what kind of fabric to wear, color choices, and where to find the latest trends for spring sleeved dresses.
Let’s go!
Embracing Floral Prints
There’s no better place to wear a floral print than spring weddings! Flower patterns are all the rage, especially during the springtime months. Floral print dresses with sleeves are versatile for the occasion and will provide a nice springy look and feel without leaving you chilly during the ceremony.
Here are some of our favorite floral print dress options.
Selecting Light, Breathable Fabrics
Springtime weather is unpredictable and can be chilly and rainy or warm and sunny. If you wear a nice lightweight fabric for a spring wedding, you’ll be comfortable come rain or shine. By opting for a dress with sleeves for added coverage, you’ll stay comfortable and on trend. Some top picks for fabrics this time of year include chiffon or lace. Sleeves can be short with ruffles or long length sleeves that cover your arms.
Pastel or Vibrant Colors
Do you opt for pastels or more of a vibrant color palette? Either way, you can’t go wrong this spring as we’re sharing a bit of both. While pastel colors for spring weddings are always a popular choice, you can also opt for a vibrant color palette if that’s more your thing.
Here are some pastel-colored dresses with sleeves, along with some vibrant styles to consider.
Bold Sleeve Styles
Whether you love a long sleeve that is simple, or something a bit more dramatic – lookin’ at you, ruffle and bell sleeves – you’ll find it here. Statement sleeves can easily elevate your look even on a simple dress, simply by adding sleeves as a fun accessory piece. Statement sleeves in fashion are rising in popularity and here are a few examples to prove it. I especially love the modern sophisticated style of a one-sleeve dress, like this in satin:
Even a little ruffle detail as a mini sleeve takes a simple dress to a stunning one. This green dress is one perfect example:
Or this sage dress with small floral detail and statement sleeves:
You can’t go wrong with a good puff sleeve!
Neutrals
Sometimes, you just want to go with a neutral color like navy or black that goes with everything. Here are some stylish and versatile spring guest dresses with sleeves.
As you can see in the above options, embracing floral prints, opting for light fabrics, and considering color choice is key when selecting sleeved dresses. While you’re searching for your upcoming guest dress, consider what colors look best on you and tie into the season. When in doubt, floral prints are always a great option! And remember to consider the dress code when it comes to sleeves. A short sleeve, elbow sleeve, or long sleeve are all terrific options in the springtime.
