I've got you covered. Wedding season is coming in full force, and it seems like every week you get a new wedding invite in your mailbox. It’s time for new heels, earrings, purses, and, of course, dresses. So before you panic-buy at the mall, take a look at these cute dresses, perfect whether the wedding's set in a garden, a barn, a royal castle, or even a villa in Italy. You’ll find a variety of fabrics and silhouettes from breathable mesh to stunning lace, as well as jaw-dropping necklines that’ll become permanent additions to your wardrobe. And a variety of price points too, from gorgeous Amazon finds under $50 to stunning splurge-worthy gowns from places like House of CB and Nordstrom. I did the heavy lifting, so now you just have to dance the night away. Catch the bouquet for me! A slinky asymmetric neckline maxi dress fit for almost any wedding theme, dress code, and venue. The striking neckline will separate you from the other hundred guests and is very much deserving of a mid-reception photo shoot. Get it from Pretty Little Thing for $32.80 (available in sizes 0–8 and two colors). A silky slip dress that'll have you strutting around like "I'm THAT girl!" — trust everyone at the wedding knows it. Reviewers love how chic and comfortable it is with one reviewer even wearing it in white as their wedding dress. If that doesn't tell you how beautiful it is, I don't know what will. Promising review: "This dress exceeded my expectations (especially coming from Amazon)! Finding a plus-size dress is not a fun task, but this dress made me feel super sexy and was perfect for my friend's semi-formal wedding. The fabric felt nice and did not look cheap. The only thing is that the fabric wrinkles easily even if it’s been hung up for a while. Overall, I loved this and would highly recommend it." —Erica Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in sizes L–5XL and 21 colors and patterns). A square-neck long-sleeve mini dress for only $30 because even if you aren't the one getting married, you still end up dropping a pretty penny. It's affordable, simple, and still feels elegant. I'll let the 400 5-star reviews speak for themselves. Promising review: "I wore this to a wedding, and it was perfect. It was the perfect length and didn’t show any cleavage. I liked how I even had the option to wear it off the shoulders if I wanted to. Definitely became a staple in my closet." —Barbara suarez Get it from Amazon for $28.69 (available in sizes XS–XL and 18 colors). A simple flutter-sleeve dress to ease your nerves when you can't figure out the dress code. Rest assured, this will pass any vibe check from an indoor soirée to an outdoor cocktail hour. Thanks to the deep V-neck paired with the dainty tie back, you'll probably have this on standby for all future weddings. Promising review: "I ordered this dress for a wedding. I got so many compliments on it. It is so soft and so comfortable. I am a size 20+ with a smaller chest, and it fits really, really well. The pockets are a nice size and hold my phone and a pack of Kleenex very easily without pulling the dress down. It has quickly become my favorite dress hanging in my closet. I will be ordering more in different colors." —Autumn Holt Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes 14–26 and in 24 colors and patterns). A long-sleeve lace maxi dress — it's absolutely perfect for not only spring but fall and winter weddings, too. We love a multi-season dress! The sleeves will help keep you nice and warm when the wind picks up because there's no way you will have a jacket covering up this gorgeous lace. Just look at how this dress pairs with a high heel boot (!!!) *chefs kiss*. Promising review: "This is such a stylish and pretty dress. I have been looking for a dress to wear to an early March wedding, and this is it! It can be worn in winter or spring." —Danadav Get it from Loft for $40.80 (originally $84.99; available in sizes XS–XL and three lengths). A V-neck ruffle slit maxi dress that'll pair beautifully with a stunning beach setting. You'll fall so in love with this classy slit and neckline, you'll want every color. Just tell people to mind their business when they start recognizing the style after party #5 — they just don't get it. Promising review: "I would recommend this dress to every person I know. The material was super soft and stretchy. It can be worn for a formal or casual wedding. It wasn’t see-through at all and had two layers of thickness. The quality of this dress was great. Super functional for exactly what I needed." —Sydney Cordeiro Get it from Amazon for $38.24 (available in sizes S–XL and 17 colors). A floral pleated midi dress that'll have you twirling the night away, while fitting perfectly into your sister's pastel fantasy garden venue. Especially when paired with a cute white cardigan, so you can quickly go from a chilly indoor cocktail hour to a hot outdoor dance party later in the night. Promising review: "I absolutely adore this dress and got so many compliments on it! It's comfortable and classy. I wore it without a bra, but it could easily cover a strapless bra if needed. The one drawback is that the silky material made it so the adjustable straps don't stay adjusted, so it did require some fixing throughout the night. I'm sure it's easy enough to fix, though, and I will absolutely find other events to wear this to!" —Rachel S. Get it from Lulus for $89 (available in sizes XS–XXL and two colors). A sleeveless chiffon maxi dress for a flirty, fun look that also comes in 27(!!!) colors. It seems like everyone is getting married, so I would just stock up on a few different shades. Don't fix what ain't broken. Promising review: "Super cute! Wore it in my friend's wedding. There's no zipper, so it's super easy to get on. The waist is stretchy. Material is easy and breathable. It was an outdoor wedding, and I didn't get overheated in it." —Kayla Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 2–26 and 27 colors). An open-back bow maxi dress — it's oh-so elegant, so you can take a deep breath and relax when you see "black tie attire" on the invitation. The bow adds that extra razzle-dazzle that is sure to catch the cute single guests' attention. Get it from Lucy In The Sky for $67.92 (available in sizes XXS–L and two colors). An Asos draped midi dress for when you fear looking underdressed at your coworker's extravagant ball. It's simple yet jaw-dropping, made with mesh for extra comfort that won't have you wanting to leave the party early. Get it from Asos for $96 (available in sizes 0–14 and two colors). A strapless drop-waist maxi dress featuring an elegant scarf detail that'll give ~main character~ at the Italy destination wedding. Sure, that's very specific, but you can't tell me this wouldn't look gorgeous amongst the Italian villas. Promising review: "Loved the dress! Such a cute outfit for wedding!" —Kailey G. Get it from Princess Polly for $99 (available in sizes 0–12 and two colors). A midi corset dress because we can't be spending $$$ on travel AND a $200+ dress. No matter the theme, there's a color for all the spring, summer, and fall vibes. House of CB is shook. Promising reviews: "Bought this dress because I always wanted to get the House of CB dress but didn’t want to pay over $250 for it. It’s honestly so good! I got the size large in this since they didn’t have my normal sizes, which are small to medium (I have a bigger chest, so I tend to size up). But since this has a corset back, I was able to cinch it up really tight, and it fit perfectly!" —Chris Herfurth Kennedy "Beautiful, stunning perfection. This may be the best thing I've ever bought on Amazon. The corset in the back makes it fit like it was made for me. It's double-lined and not see-through at all, even though it's white. The straps are adjustable, the slit is a good height, and the fabric is slightly stretchy. I cannot say enough good things about it. It did come slightly wrinkly in the skirt, but nothing that a good steam won't fix." —Shoshanna Get it from Amazon for $61.99 (available in women's sizes 0–14 and 15 colors/styles). An Asos plissé wrap front mini dress for a daytime cocktail hour that is giving legs for days. You'll be too busy feeling yourself to notice the intense side eye from the bride's judgy MIL — IMO, that's how you know you look good. 💅🏼 Get it from Asos for $59.99 (available in sizes 0–14 and two colors). A floral sleeveless maxi dress that won't have you stressing about passing the wedding dress code or running for a fan when the indoor ceremony turns into an outdoor reception. Also, can I hear a little commotion for the POCKETS?!! Nothing could be better. Promising review: "I can't express how much I love this dres. I just bought other colors today. Wore it with a Torrid cover-up to a fall wedding, and absolutely love and recommend this one. It's so soft and comfortable, I got tons of compliments on it too." —TDG22 Get it from Torrid for $59.92 (available in sizes M–6X and five patterns). A floral belted swing dress for a daytime wedding set amongst pastel florals and under a rather hot sun. We will not be overheating before the bride hits the aisle!! I am also obsessed with the retro classic style that is sure to get so many compliments. Promising review: "What a phenomenal fit! It's plenty long that I don't necessarily need to wear leggings underneath. I absolutely love that the accent belt is attached just in front. And the print is absolutely dreamy! I feel girly and chic in this dress, ready to step into a tea party at any moment." —SweetNFat Get it from Torrid for $56.92 (available in sizes M–6X and two patterns). A satin one-shoulder ball gown that you might not believe is from Amazon! The slit gives it that extra chic drama that'll have all eyes on you during cocktail hour. Promising review: "I am so excited to wear this gown! Exactly like pictured. Well made. Love the pockets. I feel so beautiful and elegant in it." —Cecily Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in sizes 0–26 and 39 colors). An Anthropologie floral strapless maxi dress that won't have you sweating at your next outdoor ceremony. This is dressy-casual yet darling, and versatile enough that you'll probably be wearing it all spring and summer long. Promising review: "This dress is so comfy and beautiful! Get so many compliments whenever I wear it. The strapless part is super comfy, and it stays up well without needing to adjust. The material is of really good quality, and washes well in the washing machine."—Thia Get it from Anthropologie for $168 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and four patterns). A Reformation crepe flutter sleeve midi dress with a unique silhouette so you won't be caught matching with half the wedding party. The light weight fabric makes it extra breathable, while the tie in the back gives it that extra umph. Get it from Anthropologie for $218 (available in sizes 0–12). An Abercombie bra-free floral midi dress with a *heart eyes* scoop neck and dipped waistline that'll become a permanent addition to your wardrobe. If you have a barn wedding coming up soon, this is the dress to snag up now before it sells out. This dress is fully designed to make going bra-free more comfortable. It has adjustable straps and a seamed-in bra with removable pads. The body *and* lining are 100% cotton, making it super breathable for comfortable all-day wear. Get it from Abercrombie for $120 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and seven colors). A vintage-style ruffled-front gown, if you are in the mood to splurge *and* have all your cousins fuming because you will win "best dressed" — after the bride, of course. This dress is not only stunning but very stretchy, so when the DJ plays your song, you can dance your heart out comfortably. Get it from House of CB for $299 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors). A floral-embroidered A-line dress for the dreamiest cottage core look that'll hands down be THE dress of the spring season. No need for the dramatic accessories, this dress speaks for itself — and don't worry, it's blush pink so there won't be any strong glares from the maid of honor. Promising review: "This dress came in even more beautiful than in the pictures. The craftsmanship and detail are truly stunning! I received many compliments, but the best part was that I could bend over and carry the kids without the dress slipping down because the fit was perfect. I used the straps they sent along just in case, but I don’t think I really needed them! This was my first purchase from Azazie, and I couldn’t be happier!" —s****a Get it from Azazie for $229 (available in sizes 00–30 and three lengths). A bias-cut slip dress that won't have you blushing when a slight breeze hits your skirt. Not today wind, not today. It's also quick to *literally* slip on so no struggling with belts, ties, and straps. Get it from J.Crew for $178 (available in sizes 00–24 and three patterns). A beaded mesh scoop-neck maxi dress for your friend's royal-style wedding, but also as an investment for future events that require you to look like a literal movie star. I would keep the accessories simple because this might steal a few compliments away from the bride. Get it from Nordstrom for $598 (available in sizes 2–14 and two colors). A floral jacquard crewneck dress because it's classic and put together, while still feeling fun. It even has pockets, so you don't have to worry about carrying a purse all night. Get it from Macy's for $189 (available in sizes 0–18). * Plus-Size Fashion Pieces That Are Very Cute And Won’t Break Your Budget * Affordable Fashion Items That’ll Have You Oozing ~Chic~ Vibes * If You Want To Be Considered The Best Dressed At Work, Here Are 27 Fashion Pieces For The Office * Cozy Pieces Of Clothing If Comfort Is Your Main Priority * Frugal Fashion Finds No One Will Believe Are From Amazon * If You Hate Hate Hate Jeans Shopping, Here Are 20 Pairs — And One Of Them Might Just Be For You * Basics From Amazon If You’re Tired Of Trying To Figure Out What “Goes Together” * Cute Lounge Pieces So You Can Romanticize Staying Indoors All Day * Accessories To Add A Little More Oomph To Any Outfit Plus, comfy fitness clothing, big bust-friendly bras and wedding lingerie, versatile dresses, and finds from Abercrombie, Aerie, Anthropologie, Athleta, Banana Republic Factory, Bare Necessities, Everlane, Free People, Gap Factory, J.Crew, Lands' End, Lane Bryant, Loft, Lulus, Madewell, Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, Quince, Torrid, and Walmart.
