Why US Weddings Vary So Much

The US wedding scene is huge and diverse. A Southern plantation wedding in July is nothing like a New York ballroom in December or a California beach ceremony. That variety makes fabric choice, silhouette, and even color more region-specific than most countries.

(If you want universal advice before diving into the US scene, our global guide to plus size wedding guest dresses covers the essentials.)

Popular Styles Across the States

Maxi gowns: Black-tie weddings in cities like New York or Chicago often call for a full-length gown.
Wrap and fit-and-flare dresses: Great for versatility, from barn weddings to vineyards.
Off-shoulder and strapless styles: Popular in summer, especially on the West Coast.
Midi dresses: Common for garden or casual outdoor ceremonies.

Fabric by Region

South & West Coast: Light chiffon and breathable blends for heat and humidity.

Northeast & Midwest winters: Velvet, satin, and heavier crepe for indoor ballrooms.
California coastlines: Chiffon maxis or flowy georgette dresses that move with the breeze.

Seasonal Notes

Spring/Summer: Bright colors, florals, lighter fabrics.
Fall: Jewel tones, long sleeves, and deeper prints.
Winter: Formal gowns in satin or velvet for grand receptions.

Where to Shop in the US

Nordstrom: Wide selection of plus size occasionwear.
Eloquii: Known for fashion-forward plus size dresses.
Macy’s: Department store classic with broad stock.
Azazie: Custom sizing and made-to-order gowns.
Torrid: Trendy plus fashion that includes event-ready styles.
Hello Curve: Ships internationally, offering elegant plus size wedding guest dresses with a focus on fit and inclusive sizing.

Final Word
