After a winter stacked with holiday parties, the spring wedding calendar is no less forgiving—and neither are the costs. Between travel, gifts, and endless parties, the hunt for something new to wear that’s not exorbitantly expensive can feel daunting. Enter our hyper-focused edit of wedding guest dresses: We’ve scoured our favorite labels to round up two dozen dresses under $300. Whether the invitation is for a black-tie soirée or a sun-drenched outdoor ceremony (’tis the season for floral-forward venues, after all), we’ve found options that fit every type of celebration.
Vogue’s Favorite Affordable Wedding Guest Dresses
We’re especially leaning into gemstone colors, interesting textures, polka dots, and romantic florals and ruffles that feel appropriately festive for a range of dress codes. A lemon citrine-hued Banana Republic satin dress is sleek and simple—perfect for a city hall ceremony—while more dramatic pieces, like a Ralph Lauren silver foil-colored chiffon gown or a floor-length baby blue number from Rue Sophie are better suited for fancier affairs. The best part? These dresses are all endlessly versatile and will transition beautifully into other spring and summer soirees, giving you the most out of your cost per wear way beyond wedding season.
So, cheers to celebrating love while looking your best… all without breaking the bank. It’s no small feat. Scroll on for our guide to spring’s chicest and most affordable wedding guest dresses.
