Anny Choi serves as a Who What Wear editor in residence, stylist, creative brand consultant, and the founder of the bridal styling studio, Anny Choi Brides. Once you have confirmed your RSVPs for spring weddings—ranging from a formal garden-party welcome in the English countryside to a black-tie affair in Brooklyn—it's the perfect time to plan your wedding guest outfits. The great news is that you don't need to spend excessively to appear stylish. The best strategy is to invest in versatile silhouettes that can be worn and restyled for various occasions.
For dress codes that require a bit more flair, explore trendy yet affordable brands like Mango and Farm Rio. A one-shoulder, feather-trimmed dress from Hutch will guarantee you a spot as the best-dressed guest, while a black poplin little black dress (LBD) from Dôen can be easily styled for transitions from a city hall ceremony to a Western-themed celebration with a simple change of accessories. If you’re attending a seaside wedding, opt for bold colors from Significant Other and De Loreta. No matter where the season leads you, keep in mind these 35 wedding guest dresses suitable for every dress code, all priced under $500.
