Summer Wedding Guest Dresses for Petites

Hello, Happy Thursday! It’s full-on wedding season, so today I am sharing Summer Wedding Guest Dresses for Petites. While I don’t have any weddings to attend this summer, I am looking forward to one in October. It’s in California, and if you didn’t know, October is summertime in Carmel-By-The-Sea!

Summer Wedding Guest Dresses for Petites

One Shoulder Puff Sleeve Dress

(Anthropologie)

This is the dress I recently purchased for the summer/autumn wedding I will attend in California. It’s from Plenty by Tracy Reese, available at Anthropologie.

The arrangement of colors in this print is what drew me to it, initially. It’s like a bright abstract version of Monet’s Garden at Giverny.

Not only that, but the design has one tie shoulder with an off-the-shoulder puff sleeve – a design detail that isn’t like anything else I have in my closet. And I do like to step outside my fashion comfort zone sometimes!

Metallic Accessories

I surprised myself when I realized I don’t have a metallic clutch. So I went with a pink leather clutch from the Sydney Collection at Madewell. Unfortunately, this clutch is no longer available. But if you wanted to go with something bright and bold, that ties into the fuschia lines in this dress, try the Fuschia Leather Clutch from Hobo.

Since my shoes and clutch are from last summer, I have rounded up several alternatives with a similar look and feel. I have included some metallic clutches that I have my eye on (because I clearly have to remedy my metallic clutch situation!).
