With a fully stacked schedule of five weddings this year, I am well on my way to being a wedding guest veteran. Although I'm definitely not above a rewear, I do love an excuse to find a nice new dress. That being said, with so many weddings on the agenda, I am not able to splurge on an attendee ensemble, so cost is key.
Options abound for what to wear for a wedding, depending on season, formality, and personal style. With many different types of weddings on the books, Nordstrom was the perfect place to find a balance of pretty, affordable dresses. Plus, I looked for dresses that will get plenty of rewears for future occasions.
Whether it be a flouncy floral midi dress, a sleek black maxi dress, or a flirty and bold minidress, each of these dresses rises to the occasion (and all for under $300). Make my picks into your picks below.
