Swamped with wedding invites? These affordable wedding guest dresses are here to save the day (and they're all less than £50!)

One of the best things about being invited to someone’s wedding is looking for an outfit to mark the occasion. As a wedding guest, you have a few options when it comes to your ensemble; you could go for a jumpsuit, a summer wedding guest dress if you know it’s going to be warm, or a maternity wedding guest dress if you’re pregnant and bump will be well and truly showing by the time the date comes around.

Even though you might not have been asked to be a bridesmaid (though if you have, you may want to check out our round-up of short bridesmaid dresses, where to buy bridesmaid dresses and unique bridesmaid dresses), it doesn’t mean that finding a dress is any less stressful… or expensive. Enter: our search for affordable wedding guest dresses.

Now that wedding season is upon us; you’ve likely found yourself with enough invitations to build a chapel from yourself. If you’re not keen on the idea of wearing a dress to more than one big day, but you’re keen to be frugal about things, then you’ve landed in the right place.

The chances are that not only will you have several weddings to attend, but also engagement parties, birthday celebrations and more. Accessibly-priced occasion wear has never been more sought after, so it’s lucky that an affordable wedding guest dress is something that you could wear to any one of those events. We love versatility.

This ASOS DESIGN lace insert cut-out pleated midi dress is a firm favourite for spring/summer; its cool and floaty fabric suits warmer climes, while the pastel yellow hue is sure to give the venue decorations a run for their money. It’s the perfect stand-out style without the added concern of upstaging the bride.

Alternatively, this printed cotton dress from Mango offers a tighter fit with an elegant, below-the-knee hem that shows a little leg. For under £49.99, you really can’t go wrong - saving money on the dress means more to spend on your wedding shoes, jewellery and clutch bag, right?
