True to our shopping guide format, we've assembled a collection of over 90 dress styles under $150 — from flowing maxis to cocktail dresses for the perfect wedding guest look. We get requests for affordable wedding guest dresses so often that we decided to create this shop page featuring dresses from my affiliated retail partners that are all under $150 and appropriate for a wedding guest.
The Prettiest Wedding Guest Dresses Under $150
Truth be told, $150 is often the most we want to pay for a new dress, especially when we have several weekends full of weddings, and some dresses will only be worn once.
These dresses were chosen for various dress codes and seasons, spanning a variety of styles and silhouettes, but they all give wedding vibes. This edit of carefully curated gowns also offers a range of price points. Some dresses actually are under $100, and a handful are even under $50. This page is updated regularly with new arrivals for wedding guests this season, so check back often.
Where to Look for Affordable Special Occasion Dresses On a Budget
There's an incredible collection of wedding guest dresses available across our affiliate retail partners, all priced under $150. From sale dresses to new arrivals, here are our top recommendations if you're continuing your search for the perfect guest of wedding dress under $150.
- Lulus has so many wedding-ready dresses under $150, with new arrivals added weekly, including affordable formal dresses, cocktail attire, wedding-guest dresses, and more. If you're shopping for a formal event, Lulus has one of the best selections of formal wedding guest dresses, which are usually priced between $ 100 and $150. Best of all, they just opened The Outlet, which features a deep discount on certain styles. They have affordable shoes and accessories, too, so you can pick up some strappy heels or a chic clutch for less, too. Their bridal shop section is also not to be missed, since they have so many wedding dresses under $200.
- Fortunate One is a new store to us, and we absolutely love the dresses they offer, which all seem to be priced between $100 and $130.
- Petal & Pup is one of our favorite stores to check out for the wedding season. In the spring and summer months, they usually roll out an incredible collection of pastel colors and floral prints, and midi designs in their spring shop. They offer so many styles that make perfect garden wedding guest dresses.
- Club L London is best known for gorgeous cocktail wedding guest dresses under $200, in sleek silhouettes and elegant colors. But some midi-style dresses or dresses on sale are frequently under $150.
- Nordstrom offers plenty of dresses under $150, including a wide range of wedding-guest dresses in inclusive sizes. Brands they carry, like Petal & Pup, Socialite, Astr the Label, Chelsea 28, Julia Jordan, and Baltic Born, are some good ones to check out. You can also get top brands like Sachin and Babi, as well as other amazing designers, when they go on final sale. Just search wedding guest dresses under $150 using the search, and you can easily find your next gown for a formal affair at a good price.
- Hello Molly is another spot that carries bridesmaid dresses and wedding guest dresses that are usually at the $100 -$120 price point.
- Your local TJ Maxx can be hit or miss, but TJ Maxx online carries many of the designers we feature here, for deeply discounted prices. We've seen everything from ball gowns to cocktail dresses in their online offerings, so it's always worth a second look.
- Nordstrom Rack, if you have one in town, it can be great for a last-minute dress. If you have a bit of time, check out the online experience for an even wider selection. We often see sought-after dresses from just a season or two earlier, or online returns that have come in through Nordstrom. You can sometimes get a grand gown for well under $100. It's also a great spot to look for a last chance dress you loved last season but thought was sold out. It sometimes stays for another season at Nordstrom Rack!
- ASOS offers a vibrant spectrum of options, including floral prints and unique silhouettes, long sleeve dresses, and designer style dresses, and is one of the top places we recommend for elegant and plus size wedding guest dresses.
- Amazon has lots of wedding guest dresses under $100 and under $50. Sometimes the quality is a little inconsistent with some Amazon dress brands, but the reviews and pictures usually tell the story. With fast delivery options and easy returns, Amazon makes it easy to pick up several dresses to try on for your next wedding.
- Rent the Runway is a great way to upgrade your fashion game without the full price tag — rent a black-tie gown or formal dress for under $150, and enjoy easier returns.
