Even if you get invited to just one wedding this year, chances are you'll need more than one outfit. After all, wedding season isn't just about the main event. There's the bridal shower, the bachelorette weekend, the welcome party, and the rehearsal dinner — and you want to look amazing at each and every occasion (especially if you're the bride). While it's important to consider dress code and destination, feeling confident in whatever you choose is the key to best-dressed guest status.
Whether you're heading to a ceremony in the city, oceanside nuptials, or a lavish countryside affair, the Abercrombie & Fitch Wedding Shop has exactly what you'll need. The brand-new, all-inclusive guide is a careful curation of celebratory styles that expand beyond the Big Day and help you stylishly toast every moment in between.
For the Guest
You've RSVP'd yes, now's the time to find the perfect plus-one — and we're not talking about your date.
Dress codes aren't always easy to decipher, but a timeless maxi dress with a contemporary twist will fit the bill every time. This pastel option is especially refreshing for a spring or summer ceremony — just wait until you see the back.
A dress like this will forever be your wedding-guest secret weapon. Not only does it satisfy nearly every dress code and transcend seasons, it does so with an elegance and grace that'll turn heads all night.
You could wear a simple black slip dress. Or, you could opt for an equally versatile version with a whole lot more personality. Cascading ruffles and a thigh-high slit give this one a party-ready flair.
As fun and playful as this dress is, it's also giving serious elegance. Whether you wear it with straps or not, your next garden wedding or beach-side rehearsal dinner will serve as the perfect backdrop.
Striking the right balance between romance and allure, this is the dress to be seen in on the dance floor. From the way its pleats move with you to the comfortable feel of its silky fabric, you can be sure it'll keep up from dawn until dusk.
For the Bride
You've already found The One, now you need some show-stopping looks for the events leading up to your special day.
No matter the wedding-related occasion, this minimalist dress is the answer. It's dreamy, it's refined, and it's the kind of dress you'll wear long after you've said "I do."
Picture this: an engagement shoot from behind the wheel of a retro sports convertible complete with cat-eye sunglasses and a red lip. Or a romanticized courthouse trip to sign your marriage license featuring mesh gloves and pointed-toe sling-backs. No matter what you're envisioning, this dress makes you the star of the show.
Swap a traditional ivory dress for a high-impact jumpsuit. This option's plunging neckline, pleated wide-legs, and open back make a bold statement that'll set you apart from all the other brides this season.
For the Bachelorette
You've gathered your girls, now all you need are some eye-catching looks for a weekend you'll never forget.
Symbolizing romance and celebrating femininity, rosettes are a perfect trend to tap into for your next bachelorette weekend, and the 3-D flower on this top is noticeable yet not overpowering. Pair it with the matching skort for a cohesive look that's playfully polished.
This dress was made for a night out with your girls. It's available in both black and hot pink, but no matter what color you choose you're sure to collect compliments all night.
As the bride, don't just settle for any white bachelorette dress. A fringe-covered mini is exactly the vibe for attracting all the right kinds of attention — like a shoutout at your drag brunch or a complimentary drink at the karaoke bar.
