Wedding season can be nothing short of stressful, especially when you've got a bump to contend with. But it doesn't have to be, it's a time for you to dress up just like everyone else and feel fabulous. We've searched up and down the high street for the best maternity wedding guest dresses so you don't have to, with some styles costing as little as £15.
So whether you're pregnant or looking for a breastfeeding dress for a wedding, these gorgeous maternity looks will ensure you and your growing belly will look suitably elegant come the big day.
How do you dress for a wedding when you're pregnant?
Just because you're expecting doesn't mean you have to sacrifice feeling stylish and, luckily, there are plenty of fashion brands out there that cater for soon-to-be-mums.
One thing we all fear when it comes to dressing our bump for special occasions is that we're going to feel a bit like a whale. Obviously, you can't escape the fact that you have another human being growing inside of you, but there are styles you can opt for that will flatter your bump and help you to feel confident in your blossoming body.
Floaty dresses are a great option, because not only are they incredibly comfy, but they'll hang beautifully over your bump too and there are plenty of stylish choices out there. However, that doesn't mean you need to shy away from bodycon styles either. There's nothing more beautiful than a growing baby bump, so if floaty dresses aren't your style and you want to show off your bump, do it! At the end of the day, it's all about what you feel most comfortable in.

Lightweight and breathable, this gorgeous dress is made in a soft viscose crepe that drapes beautifully over your growing bump. The empire waist is cleverly curved at the front to frame your fabulous bump and elasticated at the back for a flexible fit. We love that the full, tiered midi skirt means you have plenty of room to grow and it'll be flattering after baby arrives too.
Reviewed by Features & Reviews Editor Emily Gilbert: "Although this dress is more of a maxi dress fit thanks to my petite height, I absolutely adore it. It's so high-quality and flattering - and absolutely not see-through which can be a worry with light dresses. I'll be wearing this all summer for weddings and even my maternity photoshoot!"
