11 Stunning Christmas Wedding Guest Dresses That Are Flattering & Festive
Today’s Topic is all about Christmas wedding guest dresses that will look super flattering on you and have a festive flair to them. If you have found it difficult to find the perfect dress for a Christmas-time wedding then these dresses are perfect for you. They are very elegant and flattering with a festive touch because of the color, fabric, or even the silhouette.
If you have an upcoming winter or Christmas wedding then I’m sure you’re on the hunt for the perfect Christmas wedding guest dress that is tasteful with a festive touch. Well, you’re in luck because I’ve found the 12 best Christmas wedding guest dresses that will look super flattering and festive for the upcoming event.
1. Black strapless bow satin dress
This is one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen. It accentuates your waist and looks festive with the bow on the front, and it works not only as a winter wedding guest dress but also for Christmas Eve or any other holiday event. Similar style: Strapless Satin Ball Gown
2. Red floor-length gown with a bow
This beautiful red floor-length gown makes the perfect dress for a winter black tie wedding dress code. And it introduces some festive cheer to your look due to the bow and beautiful red shade of the fabric. Similar style: Red Strapless Column Gown
3. Green festive velvet dress
I must confess, this is my absolute favorite dress out of the entire list. The hunter-green shade and the contrast between the satin and velvet make it a holiday dream, and it is as much a Christmas Eve dress as it is a winter wedding guest dress, so you can wear it again for holiday events, parties and gatherings. Similar style: Xscape Velvet One Shoulder Evening Gown
4. Black embellished tulle dress
This beautiful black lace and tulle dress with intricate embellishments is something straight from a haute couture atelier in Paris, it’s elegant tasteful, and festive enough to wear to a Christmas wedding. Similar style: Flutter Sleeve Embroidered Net Gown
5. Red velvet gown with a slit
What could be more festive than a red velvet dress? This gown is festive and elegant and has a bit of intrigue due to the slit on the leg. But everything about this dress is tasteful and elegant making sure you look perfect for the Christmas or winter wedding you’ll attend. Similar style: Velvet Strapless Gown with Front Slit
6. Green satin cowl-neck dress
If you prefer simple elegance then this dress is perfect for you. The silhouette looks incredibly elegant and flattering and that is the main emphasis of the dress. The other factor of this dress is the perfectly festive and holiday classic green tone. This is what makes this dress so perfect for a winter wedding. Similar style: Betsy & Adam Satin Cowl Neck Gown
7. Gold floor-length shirt dress
Another option is an elegant satin shirt dress. If you are a regular on my blog, you know how often I mention that shirt dresses are a foolproof way to dress elegantly, and that counts for formalwear too. Satin makes a shirt dress look much more elevated than cotton, and a maxi-length satin shirt dress makes the perfect Christmas wedding guest look, maybe even for the mother of the bride or the groom. Similar style: AOMEI Long Satin Formal Dress
8. Black cloqué maxi dress
A classic square-neck maxi dress is another very safe option. That’s because it is flattering and elegant but it is not over the top and will work at almost any wedding. It also works with almost every dress code if you aren’t sure what to wear. Similar style: Square Neck A-Line Formal Gown
9. Red rosette gown
When I found this dress I gasped and thought what a perfect Christmas wedding guest dress it would make: it’s in the perfect shade of red and the flower detail is just gorgeous. Similar style: Velvet Strapless Evening Gown
10. Burgundy embellished gown
This is another absolutely gorgeous gown. The burgundy tone and the embellished details almost give it a vintage look and a very elegant vibe. Similar style: Sequin One-Shoulder Gown with Slit
11. Black embellished dress with feather trim
A feather dress is always very festive and even glamorous. It makes a great Christmas wedding guest dress and also a great New Year’s Eve dress. Mac Duggal Black Embellished Feather Strapless Column Dress
