Maternity Wedding Guest Guide

Mar 29, 2024

Are you preparing to attend a wedding, and you’re a little, or a lot pregnant? Being a preggo guest doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, and it doesn’t mean that you have to attend the wedding looking less than beautiful. This post is a guide to the best maternity wedding guest dresses, including flouncy floral dresses, maxi dresses, wrap dresses, pleats, and even some beautiful midis. Whether you’re looking for Black Tie Wedding Guest Dresses, Formal Wedding Guest Dresses, or something more comfortable, you will find examples in this article.

Empire Waist Dress

Empire waist dresses will always flatter a pregnant wedding guest and give you a beautiful, flowing appearance. The gown hugs you close just above your baby bump and then flows down to create enough space for your baby bump, ensuring that you are comfortable. The result is a chic appearance that will look just as beautiful even after pregnancy.

Wrap Dresses

Wrap dresses are a versatile option because you can create sufficient space for your protruding belly as time goes on, and still adjust it to meet whatever size you become when your stomach is smaller. Beyond the wrap, a V-neck dress will also flatter your upper body with a peep of your cleavage, making you look sexy.

Elastic Sweater dress:

A winter wedding, or any other time when the weather isn’t uncomfortably hot would be a perfect time to go in a knit sweater dress with long or three-quarter sleeves. However, the material should be stretchy enough to accommodate your baby bump without feeling too tight.

Maxi Dress with Flouncy Sleeves:

A maxi dress with fluttery/flouncy sleeves, comprising a fitted blouse, elastic waist, and a flowing skirt will ensure that you look stunning as you step into the wedding venue.

Off-Shoulder Midi Dress

Flatter and show off your shoulders in an off-shoulder midi dress that comes in any bright culture that’ll suit your skin tone. Ensure that the waist is stretchy or made of elastic so that it doesn’t suffocate you at any point.

Flared Sleeve Midi Dress

One of the most comfortable dresses you can wear for a wedding is a free, high-low gown that also comes with flared sleeves. The shorter front will flatter your legs, while the longer back creates a dramatic style and design.

A Mesh dress in a similar style is also a great option. Made of floral fabric, this dress can have layers or ruffles underneath to add a unique vibe to the pregnancy vibe.

Midi Dress with Cape Sleeves

Switching from a flared sleeve to a cape sleeve is also a good way to stand out and be super unique without looking like a frumpy pregnant woman. The skirt area can also carry a slit for some added sexiness to go with the cape. Whatever the case, you just chose a really unique appearance.

With these options, you are ready to rock your next wedding as a pregnant guest and look absolutely stunning while you’re at it!
