If you're looking for a winter wedding guest dress, then look no further! Winter is the perfect time to lean into your glam side, with a little shine, a sexy slit, or even a statement neckline on your dress. And while the typical palette may lean towards darker, deeper colors, that doesn't mean you have to opt for the same boring look. Instead, I found a ton of elegant dresses that'll land you the Best Dressed Wedding Guest award in no time — and you'll wanna rewear them as much as possible. Cheers!

Nordstrom
Betsy & Adam Asymmetric Single Long Sleeve Gown
I'm sorry, but nothing is more elegant (or sexier) than a black gown with the perfect peek-a-boo leg slit down the front. When you pair that with this gorgeous asymmetrical sleeve situation, you really have the perfect winter wedding guest dress!
Abercrombie
Abercrombie Long-Sleeve Cowl Back Slip Maxi Dress
Cowl necks are always a classy look — but what about a cowl back?! This whole dress is giving "simplicity is elegance" at its finest. (And BRIDES: this little navy number comes in cream, making for a fabulous bridal outfit, too!)
Anthropologie
Bardot Adoni Off-The-Shoulder Fitted Stretch Lace Midi Dress
I know, I know — it's controversial to wear red to a wedding. But truly, I've never in my life heard that rule until recently, so it can't matter that much, right? I'll let you decide that for yourself, but while you're thinking about it...look at how gorgeous this off-the-shoulder number is!
Azazie
Azazie Atelier Bellini Grape Jacquard Satin Maxi Dress
I adore this deep, rich eggplant color SO much. It goes so well with this high neckline and jacquard fabric, absolutely emanating elegance. This looks fantastic with strappy gold sandals (like above), but I could also see this looking amazing with some pointed toe velvet pumps.
Lulus
Lulus I'm All Yours Black Tulle Ruffled Maxi Dress
I have this exact dress in burgundy, but I am totally into the black tulle. It gives an edge to the elegance that's so playful and COOL. Plus, who doesn't love a deep v neck like this? It's so freakin' good.
Target
Petal and Pup Womens Anabelle Halter Neck Midi Dress
Asymmetrical dresses are absolutely the moment right now. The draping on this Target dress is totally gorgeous, making you look effortlessly beautiful. Plus, if this shade of teal isn't your color, you have 10 other options to choose from — and at under $100!
Nordstrom
Ieena for Mac Duggal Sequin Long Sleeve Faux Wrap Gown
My mom wore this exact dress in black to my own wedding, and she looked like a total goddess. The shimmer could seem like a lot for some, but it's really quite lovely and just understated enough when you're in that glittering wedding environment. You'll definitely wanna dance the night away in this look!
Free People
Elliatt Calypso Dress
Looking for a shorter winter wedding guest dress? This Elliatt option is stunning! The body of the dress itself is really quite simple, letting the statement bow on the back do all the heavy (and very stylish) lifting for your look. I'd pair this with an Audrey Hepburn-esque updo and some pointed black pumps!
Azazie
Azazie Atelier Sara Marigold Maxi Dress
Let this marigold dress light up the room at the next wedding you're invited to! The floral pattern is perfect for winter, not leaning too spring, and giving this balloon sleeve dress a little extra life. (And do you see the slit? I'm telling you: it's the perfect way to accentuate your wedding guest look!)
Anthropologie
Norma Kamali Tara Long-Sleeve Deep-V Ruched Stretch Jersey Midi Dress
Norma Kamali knows how to make something simple oh-so sexy. This dress hugs your curves in all the right places, and the ruching gives the sleek silhouette some much-needed texture. Plus, the slightly off-the-shoulder of it all is just everything — it's giving old Hollywood glam meets modern babe.
Nordstrom
Mac Duggal Long Sleeve Pleated Satin Cocktail Midi Dress
Like I said before, winter doesn't me you can't wear color! This shade is just bright enough to make a statement, but just earthy enough to be perfect for the season. The pleats and the buttoned, ballooned sleeves are just gorgeous here too!
Anthropologie
By Anthropologie The Maya Ruched Cowl-Neck Dress: Stretch Velvet Edition
I seriously just love a high neckline! There's something about it that screams class (but a distinguished, polite scream of course 😉), which is totally what you're going for with your winter wedding guest dress. I also love how the stretch velvet will give you the space to sit, eat, and dance comfortably all night long — exactly what you need for a festive wedding eventing!
Nordstrom
Alfred Sung One-Shoulder A-Line Gown
Alfred Sung makes stunning gowns that are perfect for all your winter wedding guest needs! I wore a different Alfred Sung dress a few years back to a December wedding, and it made me feel totally elegant. This sleek design would look gorgeous on anyone, and the A line silhouette gives you plenty of room to hit the dance floor all you want!
Tuckernuck
Tuckernuck Black Clea Dress
She's giving Audrey Hepburn! She's giving Grace Kelly! She's giving EVERYTHING! Seriously, this neckline is incredible, this length is lovely, and the dress itself is the perfect canvas to make your own. Add some fun jewelry, grab a fun shoe, and let your hair down for an evening — in the most elevated way possible.
Anthropologie
Mac Duggal Sleeveless Rhinestone Flower Crepe A-Line Mini Dress
In case you're looking for another shorter option, I love this Mac Duggal dress! The flower on the hip is so unique, yet it's giving a timeless charm that would look amazing on anyone! I could totally see this with some stunning red tights, an updo, and some statement earrings.

One of the many difficult things about having a COVID wedding was that I didn't get to fully enjoy being engaged. Not that I didn't enjoy it by any means, but I didn't get to do the typical "bridal" events that most people got to do since everyone and everything was on lockdown. No extreme Bachelorette trip, no huge showers, and definitely not a big reception with a bunch of friends.
As a fashion lover, this means I didn't get to wear a million all-white outfits and make being engaged my whole personality — like I would at this point in my life. With that being said, I can't help but see how many amazing bridal pieces are out there on the market...and it's making me wanna get married (to my husband) all over again. Since I can't, here are all the bridal outfits pieces that I can't get enough of right now. From bridal shoes to bachelorette looks, these are the pieces I've got my eye on!
Bridal Dresses
Reformation
Reformation Pike Satin Dress
This dress is sleek, chic, and so perfect for fall and winter wedding vibes. Whether you're going out on a classy dinner with your girlfriends on a bachelorette trip, or you're getting ready for the toast at your rehearsal dinner, I love this satin bridal look! It's honestly the definition of "simplicity is elegance"!
Anthropologie
BHLDN Pearl Drop-Waist Mini Dress
Maybe I'm biased because BHLDN is where I got my wedding dress, but they truly have some of the most classy and fun options out there that also aren't exorbitant in price. This dress is under $500, and would make for the perfect Bachelorette party dress! It's chic, on-trend, and so fun with the short, tulle skirt and pearl detailing.
Nordstrom
Lilysilk The Vivi Knit Dress
Coworkers throwing you a bridal shower? This demure little number is perfect for those more modest bridal moments. You still get a fun, flirty, off-the-shoulder moment, but the tea length skirt adds a buttoned-up vibe that's perfectly appropriate. While this looks great with a pair of strappy heels, I could also see this knit number looking amazing with some tall brown boots in the fall!
Abercrombie
Abercrombie Off-The-Shoulder Long-Sleeve Mini Dress
Having an intimate courthouse elopement? Looking for a lowkey afterparty dress? Whatever the occasion, this Abercrombie option fits the bill! I love the elegant off-the-shoulder sleeves — it gives you a great way to show off your jewelry. Plus, the mini dress will let you dance all night long to celebrate your officiated love!
Dôen
Dôen Jessica Dress
This dress is that is giving vintage bridal in a unique, not-so-typical way. The contrasting black lace juxtaposes the white really well, and makes it less overtly bridal, so you can definitely wear it again! Add a vintage satin drawstring bag to really go with the throwback look!
Dôen
Dôen Donetta Dress
The bridal dress of my dreams! It reaches all of the categories you could want: midi, silk, and has a beautiful bridal bow! Can't you just imagine this with a fur coat overtop for the fall and winter?! It would be truly heavenly. Wear this one for an intimate bridal event, or even a rehearsal dinner.
Nordstrom
Reformation X Kacey Musgraves Dress
Kacey Musgraves just gets it. Her collab with Reformation was absolutely amazing, and when I saw this dress I immediately knew it would be perfect for anything bridal related. From the puff sleeves, to the lace, to the bows on the sides — it's perfection! I could 100% see this one looking incredible as a courthouse wedding option!
Abercrombie
Abercrombie Sequin Squareneck Mini Dress
Having a GNO to celebrate your upcoming nuptials? This sequin mini dress is the perfect way to say, "Buy me a shot — I'm getting married." Whether you're having a summer soiree or a winter night on the town, it's versatile enough to match all of your bachelorette party needs!
Nordstrom
House of CB Mesh Dress
If you're wanting a sexier option for a Bachelorette dress then this one is definitely for you! It has a more form-fitting cut with the mesh fabric and corseted bodice. Honestly, this is a 10/10 for me — I just know it's gonna look so good as we head into the fall and winter seasons!
Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie & Fitch Strapless Dress
She's chic, she's beauty, and she's grace. I love the elevated and luxurious look of this bridal outfit — AND, it's on sale! To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. This dress with a dainty clutch and slingback heel would be perfection for a reception dress!
Reformation
Reformation Tetty Dress
Can I get a little commotion for the dress? This Reformation mini will have you ending your reception with a bang! The long, mesh sleeves paired with the feathered bottom makes for SUCH a fun afterparty bridal outfit! Plus, you won't have to worry about sweating too much on the dance floor with the mini skirt and the lighter sleeves. Win-win!
Dynamite
Dynamite Clothing Tweed Dress
I'm convinced every bride needs a tweed, mini dress for bridal season — they go well for so many different occasions. I even own one right now just because I find them so cute and wearable. For this dress, I would style with ballet flats, and a sweater over the shoulders for very French look! I can totally picture this at your bridal shower brunch where all your mom's BFFs can't stop complimenting you!
Reformation
Reformation Fitz Two Piece
This is casual piece that makes you want to be a bride for just a bit longer... If I were to get married again, then this would be high up on my list since it's a two piece. You can wear it separately or together to really embrace the whole "white" and "bridal" theme no matter the setting!
Reformation
Reformation Jeany Silk Dress
Another great contender for a rehearsal dinner or reception dress from Reformation! This pairing with the fur coat and mesh, black heels is divine! It' giving the most wonderful White Christmas vibes that would be so ideal with anyone having a winter wedding. Grab this chic, classy bridal outfit ASAP!
Bridal Accessories
Anthropologie
Anthropologie Lucy Satin Pearl Bag
I love, love, love this bag. I haven't seen a purse scream "bridal" more than this! It would make for the most amazing day-of bag, or simply your bag to carry for any bridal occasion. Plus, for $110 that's a fairly good deal for how much wear you'll get out of it.
Cuyana
Cuyana Mini Bow Bag
Looking for something a little less showy as the pearl option? I love this understated option from Cuyana! The bow top and gold chain combo are so gorgeous together! Plus, pebbled Italian leather is gonna last you way longer than you big day!
Reformation
Reformation Natasha Heels
For any bridal events, I would opt for these heels, because they are simple, clean-cute, super bridal, and very easy to wear with almost any outfit option! They are so reminiscent of 90s vintage heels that I'm constantly searching for on Ebay. I might purchase these just for a good date-night heel.
Nordstrom
Dolce Vita Reyes Mary Jane
Looking for some flats to pair with your bridal outfits? These Dolce Vitas are perfection! The square toe and Mary Jane style are so on-trend! Plus, the profile is simple enough to go with just about every look you could throw together!
Anthropologie
ViBi VENEZiA Bow Mary Janes
These bow mary janes seem very bridal to me, and they get bonus points for also being great for daily wear too! They're super comfortable, and give the bridal touch with the bows. And guess what?! They can count as you're "something blue"!

Hello, starlights, and welcome to April 2025! After the whirlwind energy of March, the cosmos brings a powerful shift — one that restores momentum, ignites manifestation, and clears the way for progress. With eclipse season behind us and planetary retrogrades untangling, the path ahead looks clearer, making this the perfect time to realign with your desires. If you've been feeling stuck, expect breakthroughs and clarity to return in full force.
To work with the energy of this month, holistic tools can help amplify your focus, balance your emotions, and ignite your confidence. Fire and earth elements dominate the cosmic landscape, like Citrine, Pyrite, and Tiger’s Eyecrystals will be powerful allies, strengthening motivation, prosperity, and stability.Colors also hold vibrational energy — gold and yellow enhance clarity, green promotes heart healing, and red fuels action and courage. As we move through April’s planetary shifts, these tools will help align your energy with the opportunities ahead.
Are you ready to activate your inner power and manifest with purpose? Let’s explore how the month’s transits will shape your path.
Scroll to see your zodiac sign's April horoscope for 2025!
The month begins with Mercury stationing direct on April 7, lifting the mental fog and restoring our ability to make clear, confident decisions. Plans that once felt delayed now begin to move, and fresh ideas take shape. Keep a Tiger’s Eye crystal nearby — it strengthens focus and mental stamina, ensuring you stay grounded as you organize your thoughts. Journaling with a gold or yellow candle burning beside you can amplify insights, helping you map out the next steps with clarity and intention.
By April 12, the Full Moon in Libra paired with Venus stationing direct shifts the focus to love, harmony, and balance. This lunation illuminates relationship dynamics, inviting epiphanies and closure where needed. This full moon is about healing and recalibrating the heart, releasing past heartbreak, mending a connection, or stepping into newfound independence. The color green serves as a powerful ally now — wear it, light green candles, or spend time in nature to activate the heart chakra and promote emotional renewal. Holding rose quartz during meditation can help soothe old wounds and open space for self-love and deeper connections.
Mid-month, the energy ignites. Mercury moves into Aries on April 16, sharpening our communication and making us more direct. Just days later, Mars enters Leo on April 18, filling the cosmos with boldness, confidence, and creative fire. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to act on an idea, launch a project, or step into a leadership role, this is it. Fire-element crystals like Citrine, Pyrite, and Tiger’s Eye will amplify motivation, pushing you to take action without hesitation. Red is the power color of the moment — using red light therapy, burning red candles, or wearing red clothing can ignite passion, courage, and drive.
As the Sun enters Taurus on April 19, the intense fiery momentum finds an anchor. Taurus season invites patience, stability, and intentional growth. It’s a time to assess what truly matters and build something meaningful. Ground yourself with Citrine and Pyrite, two potent allies for attracting abundance and strengthening resolve. Taking a barefoot walk in nature or placing your hands on the earth can help channel Taurus’s stabilizing energy.
April 27 brings a powerful New Moon in Taurus, marking a moment for deep manifestation work. This lunation encourages us to blend practicality with passion, turning dreams into reality through tangible action. To invite prosperity, smudge your space with Palo Santo to clear stagnant energy, then set intentions by writing them on paper and placing them under a green candle or a Citrine crystal. Taurus energy reminds us that true manifestation isn’t just about wishing — it’s about laying the foundation for what we desire.
As the month comes to a close, Venus re-enters Aries on April 30, reigniting passion, confidence, and desire. Whether it’s in love, creativity, or personal goals, this transit encourages boldness and direct action. Using red light therapy, surrounding yourself with red candles, or wearing red clothing can activate your inner fire, empowering you to step forward with complete assertion.
With fire and earth energy woven throughout April, the Universe hands you the tools for creation, stability, and success. Are you ready to claim them? Read on to discover what this month has in store for your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign!
