Where to Buy Maternity Dresses for a Wedding

Maybe you're searching for formal maternity dresses that are nurse-friendly, or maybe you're looking for a versatile style that you can wear again after you give birth. Either way, these retailers sell stylish bump-friendly wedding guest dress options you're sure to love.

• Seraphine: If Kate Middleton, Carrie Underwood and Anne Hathaway all wore Seraphine during their pregnancies, you know it has to be good. "Seraphine has tons of fabulous occasionwear for moms-to-be," says Garvey. "I like that most of their clothing is nursing-friendly so that you can also wear it post-pregnancy."

• Quince: If you haven't checked out Quince before, add them to your maternity fashion list ASAP. With timeless options and luxurious fabrics, you'll definitely be able to find a style that fits the wedding vibe. Plus, their maternity dresses are sustainably made with minimal environmental impact, so you can feel good about what you're wearing.

• Club L London: "If the dress code reads cocktail attire, head straight to Club L London," Garvey explains. Their gowns are available in various fabrics, silhouettes and colors with plus and petite sizes available too. "The brand offers figure-hugging maternity dresses perfect for glamorous moms-to-be."

• PinkBlush: You're not a regular mom; you're a cool mom, and PinkBlush has wedding guest dresses for pregnancy that will reflect just that. With a focus on quality, affordability and on-trend designs, you can feel confident that their styles will flatter your body through pregnancy and beyond.

• Rent the Runway: For the mom-to-be wanting a maternity wedding guest dress that's chic and elevated, this is the place for you. When it comes to best-in-class maternity attire, Rent the Runway doesn't disappoint. The collection features everything from beachy sundresses to floor-length gowns, all from some of the best designers.

What to Consider When Choosing a Maternity Wedding Guest Dress

• Pay attention to silhouette. "There are no rules for pregnancy fashion, but certain silhouettes do tend to work well," says Garvey. "An empire-waist dress is cinched under the bust and has a free-flowing skirt that allows plenty of room for a baby bump or a wrap dress, as you can adjust the fit for added comfort."

• Look at different fabrics. "In terms of fabric, opt for something soft and breathable," she says. "Natural materials like silk, cotton and linen work well for spring and summer weddings. For winter celebrations, bring extra layers to keep you warm because your skin may be more sensitive than usual, so avoid anything with itchy tags or scratchy fabric."

• Match with comfortable shoes. Garvey's top tip for attending a wedding while pregnant? Wear sensible shoes. "Swollen feet and ankles are common side effects of pregnancy, and uncomfortable footwear may aggravate the symptoms," she says. "So ditch the high heels in favor of comfortable flats like this pair from Birdies."
