The Best Wedding Guest Dress for a Pear Shaped Body

We're in the midst of wedding season, and I'm sharing some of the BEST wedding guest dress options for flattering a pear shaped body!Gearing up for wedding season?!? I'm sharing some of the BEST wedding guest dress options for flattering a pear shaped body!We just got back from an epic road trip.  We drove from Los Angeles up to the San Francisco Bay Area to visit my family.  While we were up there, my husband snuck away for a two night getaway to attend a friend's wedding.  We took naps, slept in, actually TALKED TO EACH OTHER, and got dressed up.  I'm not going to lie, these days I wear more converse than heels and more shorts than fancy dresses.  It felt amazing to get gussied up, and dance the night away.

The Best Wedding Guest Dress for a Pear Shaped Body

I shared my wedding guest dress over on Instagram stories, and you guys loved it (bonus, it's under $100)!  So I wanted to share a few tips for buying a wedding guest dress that you will feel great in.

Tips:

  1. Draw Eyes UP: for a pear shaped body, balance is key.  The reason my dress was so flattering? The colored neckline draws the eyes upward.  Think necklines, ruffles, and lace accents.
  2. Fabric: Try a more structured fabric.  Thin fabric tends to make curves look bigger, whereas structured lines and fabric tend to accentuate and flatter.
  3. Silhouette: certain cuts will ALWAYS flatter.  A-line skirts are amazing on a pear shaped body, midi skirts can look great if they hit at the right length.  A sweeping maxi will be stunning if it cuts IN at the waist.

POPS OF NAVY:

Colorblocked Dress: This is the dress that I wore to our wedding date.  I have to admit…..I wasn't sure about it when I saw it online.  But it fits like a DREAM and that colored neckline? It's my favorite (bonus, it's only $88).

Navy Stud Earrings: These classic stud earrings can be worn everyday, and are PERFECT with the navy neckline.

Beaded Clutch: A great purse is the key to any formal look.  This beaded clutch is a killer price, and can easily be used again with jeans and a simple tee for a girls' night out.

Navy Heels: Navy heels will add a subtle pop of color, and can be worn year round!

PRETTY BLUE:

Light Blue Maxi Dress: Dreaming of looking like Cinderella on her way to the ball? This light blue maxi dress will do the trick! The waistline is super flattering, and that color is perfect for a summer wedding!

Gold Hoop Earrings:If you don't already own a pair of hoop earrings, then these are a must purchase. 

Gold Glitter Heels: Something about these heels just scream Cinderella.  Aren't they stunning? And they're on SALE!

Gold Envelope Clutch: A simple gold clutch is perfect for formal events……..

STRIPED GLAM:

Striped Dress: If I'm being honest, this dress is my FAVORITE. Isn't it cute? I feel like it could easily be dressed for a daytime wedding or dressed down for a bridal shower.

Nude Sandals: If you don't own a nude pair of heeled sandals, buy them.  NOW.  They'll be one of the most versatile items in your wardrobe.

Straw Clutch: A simple straw clutch is perfect for summer, it can be carried with a casual sundress or something a little fancier.

Gold Knot Bracelet: A simple gold bangle bracelet is a must own…..and I love how this one looks a little nautical!

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

✨Is she one of your favorites too? (ps swipe for an iconic appearance)

đź’¦ I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report đź’¦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. â €
â €
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
â €
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
