As a woman in my late twenties, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I have a ton of weddings on my calendar. To save money on my journey to becoming the best-dressed guest, I spent several hours browsing the sale sections at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Shopbop for the best picks priced under $500.
My favorites hail from go-to brands like Ramy Brooke, Amanda Uprichard, and Staud and come in a few of spring 2025’s trendiest colors. Personal highlights include a bright orange jumpsuit, practically made for dancing all night long, and a lavender twist-front dress that's so chic and elegant. And while some of these frocks are on the pricier end of my set budget, there are also plenty of under-$100 and under-$200 picks on this list that you should nab before they sell out.
