I'm a Shopping Director—My Timeless Dress Code for Wedding Guests and Beautiful Nordstrom Styles for the Season.
Retail Therapy: The Show has arrived. I transform into "Dr. Bobby" and bring my monthly column to life, assisting various individuals with their style and shopping dilemmas. If you haven't yet seen the premiere episode centered on business casual attire, make sure to check it out! The second episode just released, focusing on dresses for wedding guests. Below, watch as I assist one of our editors, Emma, with a very specific wedding dress code. My foremost rule is to err on the side of being dressier (even when the dress code appears casual). It's preferable to be slightly overdressed than underdressed. I like to steer clear of overly bright colors, opting instead for dark neutrals or lovely pastels. A charming floral print always works well too.

Watch On
In this episode, the dress code was defined as "Mountain Chic, Refined Rustic Glam"—a challenging one to perfect. After trying on several lovely options, I ultimately found the ideal choice. It perfectly aligns with the theme in its rustic green color, while the contemporary silhouette and sophisticated pleated details embody that precise "refined-glam" essence. Below, I’ve curated a selection of wedding guest dresses that could fit various dress codes (all easy, elevated, and elegant). The selection from Nordstrom showcases many of the styles featured in the Retail Therapy episode, along with other favorites. The Best 2026 Wedding Guest Dresses
