Sage green wedding guest dresses and soft mint picks

Mint for spring and summer vows

A garden wedding wants something light. Our mint floral midi is a wrap, crossing over at the bust and tying at the waist. Short sleeves keep you cool. Since it falls below the knee, it feels right in church and on the lawn alike. Thin gold earrings are plenty with it.

Prefer short? The mint satin mini with a rose print is a wrap too. We cut it from a polyester satin with a little elastane in it. That stretch helps when you’re seated for a long dinner. A third mint style is a mini with tiny roses and ruffles. Its sleeves are long and end in cuffs, handy if the reception runs past sunset.

Keep white out of the outfit entirely, even the bag and shoes, since it’s the bride’s day. Nude, blush and soft gold go well with mint instead.

These prints are summer styles. You’ll see them back in the catalog once it warms up, usually from March.

Emerald when the wedding is in the evening or in winter

Sage is quiet. Emerald isn’t, and that’s useful once the lights go down. Our emerald velvet midi covers neck and arms, which suits a church ceremony and the family dinner afterward. On the lurex midi in emerald, the hem stops halfway down the calf. Its metallic thread looks festive under a ballroom chandelier.

For a black-tie invitation we’d send you to the floor-length emerald velvet with open shoulders and a slit. Wear your hair back so the shoulder line shows.

Somewhere between the two sits our mint rib knit midi. It’s warm, it’s pale, and it likes silver jewelry more than gold.

Frequently asked questions

Is mint okay if the bridesmaids wear sage?

Ask the couple. Mint is lighter and cooler than sage. In photos you’ll stand apart from them, though it’s still their call.

What shoes go with a green guest dress outdoors?

Block heels or flat sandals in nude or gold. Grass is hard on stilettos, and you’ll be standing through the photos.

Which size should I order?

Take your bust measurement to the size table. We sew every sage green wedding guest dress here in XS to XL, and the wraps let you adjust the waist.

Where are more greens?

Our everyday soft greens are on the sage green page. For every shade picked for weddings, see green guest dresses, and the palest tones are under mint green dresses.
