Guests wearing maxi dresses

Evening ladies,
Looking for opinions on something that's playing on my mind! I've been invited to a wedding this summer, one of H2B's childhood best friends. In my search for an outfit, I keep coming across some really nice maxi/midi dresses which are great because 1) no last minute running around to find a razor (or to realise I've left it at home!) and 2) no need to fake tan my legs!
Every time I go to the buy one though, I end up stopping myself for fear that it'll look like I'm trying to look like part of the bridal partly.
In short, what do you think to the dresses below? Are they suitable for a guest or too close to what people might choose for bridesmaids? (Not necessarily buying any of these but just to give you an idea of the sort of things I'm looking at). Would you be okay with someone wearing one of these to your wedding?

I have worn them styles of dress to weddings before, I just always ask what colour the BMs are wearing and avoid it and it's fine
Same as above. Check bridesmaid colours xx
Same! And if not i just go off of the invite colours and basically avoid those.
Our report: A fun, classic May day in navy and blush
My weightloss thread: Diet denial!
Totally fine!
Middle one especially fine.
I wear maxi dresses to weddings all the time, just go for floral or multicoloured ones so they obviously aren't bridal party dresses.
1 and 2 would be fine IMO, and probably 3 too...though my bridesmaids are actually wearing dress 3 but in navy 😂
Love the floral one, pls pick that one
I’d avoid a block colour maxi, I think the pink one is great but the first one is risky. The third I considered for my bridesmaids in green, in fact I chose them in maxi length! Id have gone for knee length but they all wanted maxi.
Try to find out the bridal colours and avoid those, and a pattern would be even better.
