Now that Spring is here, I bet your social calendar is filling up with weddings to attend. As much fun as it is to get dressed up and watch your near and dear celebrate love, finding an outfit to wear can be stressful. There are so many different wedding dress codes, but how do you decipher them? 

In this wedding guest series, I want to give you inspiration about what to wear to Spring and Summer weddings and share my little secret for finding designer dresses to wear at a fraction of the cost.

If the dress code says cocktail a floor length dress isn’t required – unless that’s what you would really love to wear. I would opt for a cocktail dress or a jumpsuit in a more formal fabric.

I found this nude cocktail dress on Rent The Runway, a site where you can have designer dresses delivered to your door for a great price. After your event send it back and the postage is paid for. Shop through this link to receive $30 off your first order!

In warmer weather, you have the freedom to play with fun accessories or pops of bright colors like these statement earrings that make a neutral look more unique. Opt for nudes, pinks or even a butter yellow – a very on trend color this season.

What I love about Rent The Runway is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to wear a great dress. How often do you wear these formal dresses anyway? If Rent The Runway isn’t your thing then I have shared some great cocktail dress options below for you to shop!
