As my close friends are having more babies than weddings these days, the chance to go to one is an exciting event for me. The weddings I\u2019ve attended of late have become more personal and expressive, and we have all become more comfortable with our personal sense of style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As we approach the summer <a href=\"https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/2020\/11\/no-one-talks-about-what-life-is-like-after-your-wedding-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wedding season<\/a>, I wanted to pull together a roundup of summer wedding looks that could span any kind of occasion. The fifteen options I included are divided into five categories, although there\u2019s certainly some overlap between categories for some of the pieces!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_540567-44 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_540567-44\">Whether you\u2019re a friend, family member, or colleague of the bride or groom, I hope you find something you love in the summer wedding looks below.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center WD-blurb-number\">01<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center WD-blurb-title\">Cocktail Dresses<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator wd-blurb-divider is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/bHAEo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"935\" height=\"1247\" alt=\"Summer Wedding Looks: Cocktail Dresses | Wit &amp; Delight\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress.jpeg 935w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-112x150.jpeg 112w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-18x24.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-27x36.jpeg 27w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-36x48.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-600x800.jpeg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" class=\"wp-image-98641 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress.jpeg\"><noscript><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"935\" height=\"1247\" src=\"https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress.jpeg\" alt=\"Summer Wedding Looks: Cocktail Dresses | Wit &amp; Delight\" class=\"wp-image-98641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress.jpeg 935w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-112x150.jpeg 112w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-18x24.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-27x36.jpeg 27w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-36x48.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/witanddelight.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Reformation-Jamen-Dress-600x800.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\"><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption>All product images via the respective linked source<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This is the most common look for weddings these days but the cuts and styles have come a long way since the year when I had six weddings in one summer.

In my experience, these are the most important things to consider: the possibility of uneven surfaces and the chance of unpredictable weather that could lead you to be too hot (and potentially sweaty) or too cold. Know thyself and shop accordingly!<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center WD-blurb-sub\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/bHAmn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boden Puff Sleeve Midi Dress (Above)<\/a> $120<br \/>Reformation Winslow Dress (Below) <a href=\"https:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/bHAGl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sizes XS \u2013 XL<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/bHBkO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sizes 1X \u2013 3X<\/a> $278<br \/>Honorable Mention: <a href=\"https:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/bHAH6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mango Bow Cut-Out Detail Dress<\/a> $80<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center WD-blurb-number\">05<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center WD-blurb-title\">Wild Card Dresses<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator wd-blurb-divider is-style-default\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">If you are going to a wedding where personal style and expressiveness is a value of the couple, GO FOR IT! Joe and I attended a wedding last year where an out-of-the-box dress was welcome and it set the tone for an absolutely unforgettable night (see the dress in the top image of this post). In my experience, you also tend to make new friends and cut through the small talk when you\u2019re wearing something people might ask about or compliment!<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center WD-blurb-sub\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3LJiy2c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fanm Mon via Shopbop Demre Dress (Above)<\/a> $310<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3NIPPfI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Batsheva via Shopbop Welsh Dress (Below)<\/a> $280<br \/>Honorable Mention: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3LHIfAq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WAYF via Shopbop Tie Front Top Tiered Maxi Dress<\/a> $198<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, this is a friendly reminder to consider shopping your closet (or a friend\u2019s!) before making your purchases. I rarely look back fondly at the dresses I purchased when anxious about what to wear to these big events. Give yourself some time and space to make your selection and ENJOY the opportunity to get all dressed up and celebrate love.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note:&nbsp;This article contains affiliate links.
