Love is in the air — always — and it seems that wedding season is also perpetual.

Detailed below, a few of the best brands to look to for dresses to wear to weddings. If you’re getting married soon, some of these can also serve as options for your mother and bridesmaids to wear to the big day.
So, without further ado (or “I do’s”!), here are a few of the best brands for dresses to wear to weddings, and some of our picks for wedding-going attire, year round. Mazel tov to you and yours!
Love Is Love: For Love & Lemons
The Los Angeles-based For Love & Lemons was created by two childhood friends who set out to make clothing for fearless women. For Love & Lemons creates playful and edgy designs that exude fearlessness and femininity. Slip into one of their pieces, and you’ll likely feel instantly lovely and more confident. Wear this sheer, floral dress over a simple slip dress, and you’ll be ready — in roses — for daytime or nighttime weddings during any season. We like that it’s a bit revealing, while still being totally respectful. With its long sleeves, this is another great pick for cool-weather or evening weddings — especially if paired with a dressy jacket.
Charmed, I’m Sure: Baum und Pferdgarten
Baum und Pferdgarten, which is named after its two designers and based in Copenhagen, is known for its cheerful, vibrant florals, oversized silhouettes, and fun, fantastical, flouncy details. We love the brand’s playful dresses, and its pieces have become wardrobe favorites for those with a light heart and a great eye, all around the world. So, which dresses do we recommend for wedding attendees to adorn themselves in? This dramatic, oversized organza number, which is incredibly sophisticated and adult, is a respectful piece to wear to more formal events. This dress is great for spring weddings — it’s modest, dressy and has just enough jazz due to its sheer texture and ribbon-belted waist. These dresses are great options for mothers of the bride, or those looking for a slightly more refined wedding look, rather than something super flirty.
Romance Squared: LoveShackFancy
LoveShackFancy is a whimsical, wildly romantic line. The pieces are inspired by vintage finds and travel. The Manhattan-born brand actually started as a line of bridesmaid dresses, and although it quickly evolved into a collection of pieces for the everyday, the wedding-wear legacy continues. If you’re on the search for an ethereal, fairytale-like dress (or several), this is a great line for you to look at. This maxi-dress is sexy and elegant, and we love the gold detailing. This dramatic, super-feminine mini dress is one of the best dresses for a summer wedding guest, as it’s romantic and will keep you cool during the sunny outdoor service. With it’s puff sleeve detailing, you’ll look like a true princess (or queen). Wear it to any wedding, and the whole scene will look even more like something out of a fairytale.
Global Energy: Saloni
Designed by Saloni Lodha, Saloni is influenced by her rich heritage (she hails from Mumbai and designs from London). She translates looks from her culture into feminine styles that vibrate with prismatic and vibrant hues, energetic patterns and a sense of exotic elegance. This black and rose gold number is amazingly elegant, romantic, and sophisticated, making it ideal to wear to weddings. If you’re looking for something bold and classic, try this red silk dress — you’ll look and feel like a total bombshell. When they’re not on the bride, all eyes will be on you. Crazy about prints? This emerald-green, long sleeve dress is a great pick for outdoor weddings, across the globe.
Bohemian Beauty: MISA Los Angeles
The MISA Los Angeles line is deeply inspired by global travel, art and design. The brand is known for its feminine silhouettes and effortless style. The pieces are comprised of airy fabrics, brought to life with unique color combinations and tons of detailing. This super-romantic pink floral dress is great for warm-weather weddings. It’s feminine and lighthearted, making it ideal for special days that are devoted to love (although shouldn’t they all be?). This black wrap dress is a great dress for women of all ages — it’s super sophisticated and timeless. This velvet mini wrap dress is a fun, sexy piece for cocktail-attire weddings, and we love the jewel tones that it comes in.
Another great thing about most, if not all of these dresses? They can be worn time and time again, long after you’re on the wedding dance floor. Many of them are sophisticated enough for other black-tie events, going out to dinner and date night. The floral pieces are great for travel, and can be dressed down (think sandals and a denim jacket) for a breezy, beautiful and romantic look. They can also be worn to work and work events, with the help of a pair of leather boots and a blazer. We’re all about getting the most use of a great piece as we can, and each of these dresses is super versatile.
Catch the bouquet, feel — and look — gorgeous and confident, dance the night away, and steal the show (respectfully, of course) in one of our picks for dresses to wear for weddings. Here’s to love!
