Shopping for wedding guest dresses can feel like a futile task. Aside from the market being heavily saturated with style upon style, understanding the specific dress code is a task in itself. According to Cheryl Leung, Founder and Creative Director of Sau Lee, “When selecting a look as a wedding guest, I always encourage people to think about dress code, season and setting—but always let your individuality and style shine through.”
To make it easier, we’ve broken it down for you into four categories: cocktail, black tie, destination, and city weddings. From grandiose ball gowns to floral numbers perfect for a garden party, there’s something for every type of wedding goer out there. Now is the time to find it.
Classic Cocktail
This is always a little vague—it’s hard to know just how fancy to go. These dresses are our go-to for a cocktail occasion.

Glamorous Black Tie
Black Tie is as formal as it gets, but you can still have some fun with it. Leung says, “I’m currently loving the butter yellow trend, and a favorite of mine is the Pearl, which is a satin backless bias-cut gown that features a plunging cowl neck along with our signature wings. This is definitely a statement piece that will turn some heads.”
