Unique Wedding Guest Outfits
Starting off with my picks for dresses (and dress alternatives) so you can be the best dressed guest.

This dress is fabulous. The sequins, the sleeves, the open back, I'm hoping I have an event to wear it to. The brand itself is amazing and all of their pieces are perfect for any wedding guest.

I have this dress in another color but am still contemplating buying this gorgeous purple. Though the design is simple and elegant, the color is unique. Norma Kamali never fails with their wedding guest dresses.

I love when two pieces go seamlessly together to create a perfect outfit. These pieces can be worn separately so you can get multiple uses out of them. I'm loving a metallic and I'm loving a long sleeve these days so this covers a lot of bases for me!

This is a fun take on a classic slip dress. It feels both sexy and classy and I'm loving the color combination. SIR always has unique styles that feel classic, yet modern. Different, yet on trend.

This dress is such a beautiful vivid gold color. The color and texture add to the unique feeling of this elevated Veronica Beard number. Perfect for a black tie wedding.

This dress is pure fun. With sequins and fringe, the brown gown really makes a statement. Brown is one of my favorite colors this season and I think this is a really exciting way to wear it.

This beautiful flowwy jumpsuit mimics a dress but manages to have its own interesting look. The deep blue color and the cool open back make it a true standout. The model here looks fabulous pairing it with a matching blue shoe and a silver bag.

I love a simple dress with a little but of added detail. This Dannijo dress adds a ruffle trip to the classic silky dress. The berry color is the cherry on top-HA!

This sequins silver suit is basically the coolest thing you could show up to an event in. Though it's far from traditional, this is the ultimate unique wedding guest look--in my humble opinion. Simon Miller never fails to disappoint with quality, stunning looks.

Staud's holiday edit has confirmed what I already knew--it slaps. This red sequins number is sure to turn heads and make a truly great outfit. The accessories don't need to do much because this dress is the show stopper.

Wedding Guest Shoes
Fancy shoes are not usually my forte. I'm more of a sneakers type of gal, but here are some heels that I think will contribute to your unique wedding guest fit.
💲💲💲
These show stopping pink heels have been on my wishlist for ages. They are the perfect color, style and look. If you're looking to add a little something to a black dress, these are the ones.

My go-to when looking for wedding guest outfit shoes is Schutz. They are reasonably priced, pretty comfortable and beautiful. These black heels accented with beading are perfect to elevate any evening look.

These simple (and might I add super affordable) kitten heels could be the perfect addition to any gown. If you love a kitten heel, want to air on the shorter side or simply are hoping for a more comfortable fit, these are a great purchase.

These pricier Simkhai heels certainly are unique. They are very special and can be dressed up or down (styled here with jeans). If you are looking for something different, these could be perfect.

These are the most comfortable high heels I've worn and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a pair of elevated shoes that go with all of your evening dresses. I wore them with a white dress and plan to wear them with black as well.

These basic black platform heels are simple but perfect for any event. The square toe and silky material make the shoe feel modern. The metallic option is also a great choice.

Jewelry
Diamonds might be a girl's best friend but they are also out of this girl's price range...and I'm not really a diamond gal. Here are picks for some fun jewels!

Though the brand is not usually known for accessories, their jewelry debut didn't miss. These fun gold

Simple, yet elevated--can be said for most Jenny Bird pieces. These earrings can be dressed up or down and can certainly complete an outfit.

Reformation can do no wrong in my eyes and that includes their new bag collection. This little silver bag is bound to be one of your new favs.
