BCBGeneration Ruffle Marrow Dress
A casual beach wedding is the perfect opportunity to slip into something more relaxed, like the BCBGeneration Ruffle Marrow Dress ($49).

Clover Canyon Fluorescent Light Cutout Dress
If you receive a "shoes optional" invitation (such as for a beach, backyard, or even boardwalk wedding), opt for a dress that nods to the momentous occasion without being too elaborate. The Clover Canyon Fluorescent Light Cutout Dress ($317) will keep you cool even in sweltering heat, and you can easily wear it all season long.

Adrianna Papell Sleeveless Lace Dress
A cocktail dress is the perfect choice for a semi-formal wedding. You'll get a lot of mileage out of the classy Adrianna Papell Sleeveless Lace Dress ($168). It's just right for a warm day, yet it doesn't lean too far in a revealing (or, for that matter, modest) direction. Pair with metallic heels for the ultimate finishing touch.

Don't assume a beach wedding is strictly casual. A formal beach wedding calls for something less playful and more polished, like the Shoshanna Lemon Drop Lace Ceclie Dress ($385). The color is just made for an outdoor setting! Paired with sand-friendly flats or low-profile wedges, this dress is part of a perfectly appropriate ensemble at the ready.

Ann Taylor
A country club is the perfect spot to break out the one-shoulder dress, like this one made of silk dupioni by Ann Taylor ($199.99). From its sumptuous fabric to its breathtaking sapphire hue, it's at once sexy, flattering, and chic---yet it won't compete with the bride. What more could you ask of a guest dress?

ASOS Maternity Maxi Dress
The mom-to-be has enough to think about without worrying about suffering in the summer heat. The ASOS Maternity Maxi Dress ($85.74) features a cold shoulder design, short sleeves, and an incredibly flattering wrap front. It's the perfect recipe for a stylish-meets-practical summer dress that will see you through any special event of the season.

Marina Embellished Stretch Lace Sheath
Odds are you'll find yourself attending a few fall weddings, too. Try a budget-friendly approach with the Marina Embellished Stretch Lace Sheath ($99). In navy, it's subtly nautical but with a highly posh twist---and it makes a lovely transition to fall, when its three-quarter sleeves will keep you comfortable in cooler weather.
