Attending weddings is great fun but it can also be very expensive. These wedding guest dresses are budget-friendly while also being super stylish
Summer is the season for weddings and if you have more than one lined up, chances are you may be in the market for a new outfit.
Of course, the most budget-friendly option is to re-wear something you already own or borrow something from a friend or relative, but sometimes it’s nice to have something new for an extra special occasion.
While you can’t control the price of hotels, petrol or any other costs you may incur on the day, you can control how much you spend on your outfit. With that in mind, here are eight fabulous wedding guest dresses that will leave you with plenty of cash left over for accessories!

Wardrobe+ : Zizi Catherine pleated dress in white – €55
