Magda Butrym wedding guest dresses: what to wear, by ceremony

Magda Butrym is the wedding guest brand of the last few seasons for a reason: a rose on the shoulder, a corset bodice and a silk skirt that moves are exactly what a guest wants, and the colours, red, green, black, burgundy, sit right against a summer lawn and a winter hotel. This page is the edit by ceremony, with the shoes and the one piece of jewellery to finish each look. 52 dresses in the edit on Coveti, $2,130 to $14,670, median $3,640.

Checked on 20 September 2026 by Gemma Deeks, fashion editor at Coveti. Product facts, the compositions, care lines, dimensions, sizing notes and country of manufacture, are the brand’s own product-page text; counts, prices and price ranges are Coveti’s live catalogue on that date and move with stock; the designer’s biography and the house history come from the encyclopaedia entries and the press articles listed below, each read on the date above; the size scales are the brand’s own. Where a claim could not be checked against one of these it was left out, and where the fitting room is giving its own advice the page says so.
