After a summer stacked with beach ceremonies and destination nuptials, the fall wedding calendar is no less forgiving—and neither are the costs. Between travel, gifts, and endless parties, the hunt for something new to wear that’s not exorbitantly expensive can feel daunting. Enter our hyper-focused edit of wedding guest dresses: We’ve scoured our favorite labels to round up two dozen dresses under $300. Whether the invitation is for a black-tie soirée or a rustic outdoor ceremony (’tis the season for foliage-forward venues, after all), we’ve found options that fit every type of celebration.

We’re especially leaning into jewel tones, interesting textures, long sleeves, and romantic florals and ruffles that feel appropriately festive for a range of dress codes. A berry-hued Mango satin dress is sleek and simple—perfect for a city hall ceremony—while more dramatic pieces, like a Ralph Lauren cape gown or a metallic halterneck maxi from Zara are better suited for fancier affairs. The best part? These dresses are all endlessly versatile and will transition beautifully into holiday parties and other seasonal gatherings, giving you the most out of your cost per wear beyond wedding season.

So, cheers to celebrating love while looking your best… all without breaking the bank. It’s no small feat. Scroll on for our guide to fall’s chicest and most affordable wedding guest dresses.
