5 Editor-Approved Wedding Guest Outfits That Won't Break the Bank

With the excitement of wedding season around the corner, there's one thing just about every guest experiences: the pressure to find an outfit so you can stand out. We all want to dress to impress and inspire the other women in our lives, but we don't need to buy an expensive new piece every time an invitation comes rolling in. Up ahead, we culled together five head-to-toe outfits that are not only nuptial-ready but won't break the bank.

This red dress walks the line between cocktail-ready and black-tie appropriate, meaning you can get a lot of use out of it during wedding season. Show the other women at the wedding how easy it is to style by going for the gold. Try accessorizing with all metallics and wear it with strappy stacked gold heels, a black bag with gold hardware, and matching earrings.

Consistently seeing your social media feed fill up with LBDs? Time to get one for yourself. With an off-the-shoulder wrap-front in a whimsical fabric, this option is ideal for any evening wedding because you can elevate it in a flash. Try metallic stacked heels in an unexpected color, like a deep berry shade, and keep things glam by wearing a black tuxedo blazer.

Have an invite to a daytime wine country party? This floral set is oozing with perennial flavor. Play up the feminine hues by wearing pink mules, a muted pink crossbody bag, and earrings that pick up the floral motif. The other women at the party will definitely take style notes after seeing you in this.

This light blue halter-style dress is ultrafeminine with pleating throughout the body that creates movement. Go with a pair of neutral-toned pumps so you don't compete with the dress, and keep jewelry minimal. If you want to add something unexpected, bring a moto jacket with you for when it gets cold at night. The juxtaposition of leather and the soft fabric of the dress are consistently head-turners.

Fashion-forward guests will love this satin slip dress. The pastel mint shade looks great against a silver heel. Weave in a blush clutch bag. Finish with a bangle that picks up some of the colors.
