Being a wedding guest is certainly less stressful than being the bride or groom, but there's still the task of finding a suitable outfit. Obviously, you don't want your look to outshine the bride or groom, but you do want to choose an ensemble that feels special and right for the occasion. Of course, there's the venue, the time of day and any stated dress code to consider, as well. All that to say — finding the right frock isn't always easy!
Luckily, you've got a shopping expert here to help out. I'm a former wedding magazine editor, so I know a thing or two about hunting down great dresses for guests. Below are six stunning picks that work for different types of celebrations, all under $100.
If the wedding you're attending calls for "cocktail attire," this sparkly two-piece is perfection. The navy is slimming, while the sequined cape offers arm coverage and is an elevated alternative to a simple cotton cardigan. Pair this knee-length dress with low heels and you're ready to party.
Going to a garden wedding? This floral print midi-length dress is right on theme. The empire waist does a nice job disguising the tummy area and the V-neckline isn't too low cut.
Perfect for a beach or backyard wedding, this maxi silhouette will make you look tall and lean. The halter neckline is a great way to bare some skin without being too revealing and you can adjust the waist tie to define your midsection. Pair this dress with dangly earrings and you've got a gorgeous look.
Ladies who fully intend to be on the dance floor for the entire reception will want to snag this tiered design. The hem of the dress is ruffled and flowy, so it will sway beautifully as you show off your moves. The jeweled detail at the neckline means you can keep your accessories simple — just a classic pair of diamond studs and your most comfy heels will do.
If you're attending a religious wedding or a ceremony in a church, your arms may need to be covered, making this embellished style a smart buy. The lovely mauve color will look beautiful on many different skin tones, but you can also purchase this look in navy or gray.
If the invite calls for black tie attire, then you'll want a floor-length gown with a bit of wow. This Amazon find delivers on all fronts. It has a bit of shimmer, flowy sleeves and satin belt at the waist to create a flattering shape. Shoppers give it 4.3 out of 5 stars, with one person commenting, "[This is a] stunning dress, [it's] much better quality than I was expecting."
