14 Great Wedding Guest Dresses
Wedding season means getting dressed up, but it doesn’t mean breaking your piggy bank.
You may have just one wedding this season, or you might be something like Katherine Heigl’s character in 37 Dresses: you’ve got one wedding after another until October. We found gorgeous dresses that will not only work for semi-formal and formal weddings, but they can worn again and again, season after season.
Quick fashion tip: If you’re buying a sleeveless cocktail dress in a jewel tone or a dark shade, you can make it winter-worthy by adding a shrug or sequined jacket to the dress.
Semi Formal
A semi-formal wedding traditionally means a wedding that’s held after 6 PM where gowns and tuxedos aren’t required. Women can wear cocktail dresses and guys can wear suits. At a daytime semi-formal wedding, guys still have to wear a suit, and gals can wear a pretty “garden party” type dress or a cocktail dress.
