Summer Wedding Guest Outfit Ideas for Every Budget I DreaminLace.com

Who doesn’t love a good wedding? Or the idea of slipping on a pretty dress to celebrate the nuptials of your closest friends and family?

And I think we can all agree summer is without a doubt THE season for weddings. After all, sunshine and warm temperatures make the perfect companions to love and laughter.

While dusting off our dancing shoes and preparing ourselves to belt out embarrassing renditions of Neil Diamon’s classic Sweet Caroline we also find ourselves in need of some great summer wedding guest dresses. And today we’re tackling that very subject with an array of colorful options that are fit for every budget and destination.

From backyard nuptials to barefoot weddings on the beach or even a visit to the country club, the summer and pre-fall collections have delivered!  Everyone from MANGO to Zimmermann is serving lively designs that are perfect for stepping out in style.

And like I said, I’ve pulled options for every budget without sacrificing taste. From the supremely affordable to Oscar de la Renta, I have had so much fun exploring all the different summer wedding guest dresses available this year and can’t wait to share them with you.

Join me for some fun below and get ready to make some memories this summer!

Along the same line of Downton Abbey’s fabulous Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, questioning “What is a weekend?” there are countless options for the stylish lady out there who doesn’t know what a budget is.

Oscar de la Renta is always a beautifully romantic option. Then there are masters of color like Brandon Maxwell and Christopher John Rogers. Of course, Maison Valentino is not to be discounted.
