Attending a wedding can be daunting, and if you have several weddings to attend this season or just don’t want to spend a lot of money, here are a selection of affordable wedding guest dresses for any budget. You don’t have to feel stressed when it comes to what you’re wearing, I’ve got you covered.
Where to Buy Affordable Wedding Guest Dresses
Wedding guest dresses don’t have to be purchased from a fancy retailer or wedding dress store. You can actually shop dresses from your favourite brands and style them up, remember you don’t have to spend a lot to look and feel amazing. Just concentrate on enjoying the day and feeling the freedom of attending a celebratory day solo and with no pre meditated responsibilities.

Affordable Wedding Guest Dresses: How Should Wedding Guests Dress
The biggest rule when it comes to being a wedding guest is you can’t wear white, you just can’t. Any other colour is fine but white is off the table, but luckily there are so many beautiful colours out there you won’t even think of white as an option. Affordability also comes to mind, affordable wedding guest dresses are a must so you don’t break the bank, weddings tend to be expensive even for guests.
Patterns like florals, stripes and polka dots are always a good option, or feminine details. Long, midi or short depending on what you prefer just make sure you’re comfortable. Weddings are usually long days and include dancing so you want to make sure the dress and shoes you wear will take you through the whole day. This means nothing super tight or straps prone to falling down, having to readjust your dress every five minutes will become very tiresome.
My favourite pattern for summer dresses are florals, which are perfect as a wedding guest dress.

This roundup contains simple styles that are a bit of a boho vibe since summer usually calls for that type of style. I always find boho style dresses to be really fun and flirty and perfect for a wedding. Affordable wedding guest dresses always tend to be a bit more casual than other styles and it’s best to be casual in the summer since it’s so warm outside. Imagine wearing a fancy dress in the heat? No thanks!
Affordable Wedding Guest Dresses: What Shoes to Wear With Your Dress
Like stated above, comfort is key. You’ll be dancing, taking photos, and on your feet all day. Espadrilles tend to be super comfortable, romantic, and go with just about everything. The wedge heel means your foot is somewhat flat while still being elevated and elongating your legs, which is super sexy when wearing a dress. I highly recommend the ones linked below, I wear them constantly and love them more each wear.
