The thrill of receiving a destination wedding save-the-date is twofold (provided it arrives well in advance). There’s the honor of being invited, of course, and then there’s the trip itself—a weekend away at a venue that doubles as a vacation spot. But there’s a sartorial perk, too: Destination wedding guest dresses are some of the most fun to wear, allowing you to borrow from the spirit of the location.

A countryside affair, for instance, calls for something that nods to the pastoral or, at the very least, florals. Headed to a rooftop ceremony in a far-flung city? Keep things modern and polished in Staud or Christopher John Rogers. Maybe you booked a puddle jumper to the New England coast? There’s no need to overhaul your style to embrace prep, though a touch of blue is a nice wink to your surroundings. Tropical getaways and beach nuptials, meanwhile, invite a hit of sequins and shine à la Tory Burch or a sunset-hued print by La DoubleJ. You get the picture—let the setting (and the dress code) lead, no matter where your invite takes you.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up 28 destination wedding guest dresses that are as striking as the venues themselves.
