I'm Looking at These Pretty Dresses for My Friend's Dream Wedding in Europe
This summer, I have one event that overshadows all of the rest: my best friend's dream wedding in Portugal. For reference, she's pictured above. Of course, when I got the news I was going to be added to the guest list, the first thing that popped into my head (after being overwhelmed with joy that my friend had found her significant other) was "What am I going to wear?” This day will go down as one of the most important days of my friend’s life, one that none of us will ever forget and one that will be heavily photographed. Plus, the wedding will be in Europe, which only upped the stakes.
While I know I want to look elevated with an expensive-feeling dress, I’m looking for something a little budget-friendlier since traveling to Europe isn’t exactly an inexpensive trip. Currently, I’m eyeing this edit of chic under-$300 dresses. Keep scrolling to check out my list of pretty wedding guest dress options.
The square neckline and open back on this dress are stunning—and it's under $80.
Pair this ruched minidress with platform sandals for the perfect look.
