I am a wedding guest pro. There was a 5year period of time where I averaged 4 a year and while black is usually my go-to, for a spring or summer wedding I highly recommend green for 2 reasons:
- It’s not a color that is usually picked out for bridesmaids so you don’t want to worry about mistaken identity 😂
- It’s colorful without being LOUD, and as an elder emo there is nothing I hate wearing more than loud patterns and bright colors 😏
I found 3 affordable options that fit my size 18 pear shaped body that I’m excited to share!
Shop the looks on my LTK.it or my Amazon list.
Short & Floral Wedding Guest Dress
I think this one is so great for a semi-formal or outdoor wedding. The sleeves are see-through and lightweight so this would definitely allow for some air circulation.
This dress is an XXL from Cupshe. Due to my smaller chest I luck out that I’m able to wear a larger straight size. While Cupshe does offer plus size swimsuits, I really wish they’d start offering their other options in plus sizes or at least ALL of their items in an XXL for me.

Dress: Cupshe
One Shoulder Wedding Guest Dress
I love how elegant, yet effortless this dress is. It could work for a semi formal or formal wedding. This dress actually has a lot of different color and pattern options, too.

Dress: Pretty Garden
Lace Maxi Wedding Guest Dress
This dress is the most formal of the bunch. I do wish that the neckline was a little lower, but there are flashes of skin in the see-through border and mesh sleeves to help take some of the stuffiness out of it.

Dress: Merokeety
If you’re looking for more plus size 18 wedding guest dresses, I put together a list on my LTK.
XOXO, Tara
