Choosing plus size wedding guest outfits can be difficult. Plus size occasion outfits are the kind of thing you see when you’re not looking; but when you need to buy one, you can never find anything you like!
I always find it best to start looking for outfits a little while before I need them, I’ve found that plus size occasion dresses sell out of my size pretty quickly.
With wedding season fast approaching, I’ve started my shopping early this year and have found some gorgeous plus size dresses and jumpsuits – so I thought it was probably worth sharing my ‘maybe’ pile with all the other plus side ladies looking for wedding clothes out there!

Plus size maxi dresses for weddings
Maxi dresses are an easy win. They hide all the bits you want hidden, hug all the bits you want to show off and make you feel like a ethereal goddess as you swish through the crowds of guests with your glass of fizz.
Maya Curve V-Neck Cap Sleeve Maxi Dress
This peach blush wonder is fit for a princess with its sparkly top half and full, floaty skirt. You could wear your comfiest ballet pumps and no one would know. Just check what colour the bridesmaids are wearing, otherwise you might end up looking like a hopeful stand-in!
Available in sizes up to 26
Plus Size Navy V Plunge Maxi Dress
This slinky little number is a super sexy curve-hugger. If you’re blessed in the chest department, the deep V will enhance your assets while the floor length skirt will provide a silhouette to die for.
Available in sizes up to 24
Mela London Curve Maxi Dress
This flirty floral plus size maxi dress would be a beautiful choice for a summer wedding. The beauty of this dress is that you can dress it up to be formal enough for a wedding, or dress it down and wear it to summer barbecues once the wedding has been and gone. I love a dress that I can wear more than once!
Available in sizes up to 26
Scarlett & Jo lace Sleeve Maxi Gown
This layered black maxi with lace sleeves and a floaty overskirt cuts a great figure if you want accentuate (or fake) and hourglass shape. Sweetheart necklines are my fave and should be on every dress ever made because they look so classically glamorous!
Available in sizes up to 26
Joanna Hope Print Jewel Maxi Dress
A bejewelled waist band paired with large bright florals make this dress a great contender as a plus size wedding guest outfit. The colours are bold but classy and the added jewels take things up a notch in the style stakes.
Available in sizes up to 32
Plus Size Jumpsuits
If you’re struggling to find a dress you love, it’s time to think outside the box. Consider going for a dressed-up jumpsuit instead of a more traditional dress. Plus size wedding guest outfits don’t seem to be all that hard to find after all!
Plus Cassandra Wrap Front Leopard Print Jumpsuit
High waist – check. Leopard print – check. Comfort – check! This wrap front leopard print jumpsuit ticks all the boxes. Pair with high sandals (as pictured) or some bejewelled ballet pumps if you have grand plans to dance the night away without discarding your shoes by 8pm!
Available in sizes up to 28
Alexandra Cobalt Blue Plunge Wide Leg Jumpsuit
There are a lot of things to love about this deep-V, wide leg cobalt blue jumpsuit. The first is probably the overall gorgeousness of it, and the second is the price! £21 is a steal to look this glam!

Plus size occasion dresses for weddings
These plus size occasion dresses for weddings are a mix of various fits and cuts, they can’t be grouped into a specific style category, but they are gorgeous and totes appropes for a glam wedding look.
Yulia Velvet Palm

Quiz Bardot Peplum Dress
I know it’s rude to wear white to a wedding, but I think this dress is just enough removed from white for you to get away with it. This is another one of those dresses that isn’t wedding specific and you could totally get away with wearing again. I’m a big re-wearer.
Available in sizes up to 26
Scarlett & Jo Floral Hanky Hem Dress
This floaty asymmetric number is great for standing out. It has a real relaxed glamour feel about it, like you just wake up gorgeous every day.
Available in sizes up to 26
Quiz Curve Floral Print Dip Hem Dress
A twist on the basic figure hugging dress. In case you hadn’t noticed from this list, I like my dresses to have extra bits of floaty fabric sewn on. I imagine the dip hem skirting will billow as your walk and make you look very important.
Available in sizes up to 26

Maya Curve High Low Midi Dress
A long netted over-skirt always seems to add glamour, especially when it’s covered in sequins and stars. This has a really sultry feel to it and can totally be worn again.

Plus Size Prom Style Dresses
I’ve saved the best til last, prom style dresses are my fave, I love a full skirt and a cinched waste. Plus size prom dresses are a timeless classic and I’d buy all these if I could.
Chi Chi London Floral Print Dip Dress
Chi Chi London always make the most beautiful dresses. I’ve never seen a Chi Chi London dress that I didn’t love. I’ve picked this one for the list because I’m really into pink florals on dark backgrounds at the moment and this is right up my street.
Available in sizes up to 26
Little Mistress Curve Floral Midi Dress
How beautiful is dusky pink and navy blue when they’re paired together and lace is added? The flowers give it a woodland fairy feel while the lace gives it a modern edge.
Availables in sizes up to 28
Little Mistress Curve Printed Wrap Midi Dress
I can’t get enough of floral prom style dresses. They’re always such a good choice for warm-weather weddings. This dress wouldn’t look out of place in autumn or winter either, with it’s full midi skirt and black accents. Love it!
