The 3 Wedding Looks Defining Spring

If your mailbox is covered in "Save the Dates," you are not alone. It feels like everyone decided to get married in 2026. But the generic bridesmaid-style dresses are out. This season, it's about character. We curated the three looks taking over the wedding scene—and the RIHOAS staples that nail the brief.

1. The "Destination" Minimalist

The Vibe: Coastal Luxury. The Observation: Have you noticed that heavy gowns are disappearing from beach weddings? They are being replaced by the satin slip dress. Why? Because when the humidity hits, less is more. A classic slip dress with a cowl neckline (that draped fabric at the chest) is the ultimate hack. It looks incredibly chic, requires zero effort, and the satin fabric reflects the sunset beautifully. It’s "I woke up like this," but elevated.

2. The "Garden" Romantic

The Vibe: French Countryside. The Observation: The "Coquette" aesthetic has matured. We aren't seeing loud neons; we are seeing grounded, vintage-inspired botanicals. The Piece: The floral midi dress. Specifically, the square-neck silhouette. This cut frames your collarbones (a total RIHOAS signature) and the midi length saves your hemline from grass stains. It’s romantic without being costume-y, and the slit allows you to actually move on the dance floor.

3. The "City" Noir

The Vibe: Old Money After Dark. The Observation: Black for a spring wedding? Absolutely. Wearing deep, rich tones in a sea of pastels is a power move. The Piece: The black velvet dress. Forget about sequins. A simple, well-cut velvet midi absorbs the light, creating a deep matte black that sharpens your silhouette. Whether it’s a sweetheart neckline or a simple strap, velvet brings a quiet luxury that feels pulled straight from a vintage film.

Editor's Note: The golden rule for 2026? Fabric first. If it doesn't move with you, it's not the right dress. Explore our full spring wedding guest dresses collection to find your perfect fit.
