1. A ruffled off-the-shoulder dress with an asymmetrical hem so you can be the living, breathing version of the 💃: aka everyone's favorite guest.
2. A glittery side-slit dress that'll turn the wedding aisle into your own personal red carpet. Feel free to take your time walking down it — the bride can wait.
3. A floral maxi dress with a chic tie waist, because you'll singlehandedly bring the party's romantic vibes to a whole new level.
4. A shimmering capelet midi dress, because not all heroes wear capes... but you'll deserve one when you stay on the dance floor the longest.
5. An off-the-shoulder v-neck midi dress for scoring an LBD you'll want to wear until the end of time. Kind of like a marriage, but BETTER.
6. A one-shouldered A-line dress so you look like the epitome of sophistication even when elbowing your way to the front of the buffet.
7. A backless lace dress with ruffled shoulders that'll *puff up* your confidence the minute you put this bb on. Will you tackle every dance move possible now? YES.
8. A ruched formal gown, because that slit is about to give you an Angelina Jolie moment all 👏darn👏 night👏. Consider the photographer your very own paparazzi for the evening.
9. A semi-sheer floral embroidered dress for becoming the best bouquet imaginable. Personally I think the bride should be carrying YOU down the aisle.
10. A strapless bodycon dress with a surprise lace trim so you can look amazingly elegant without *trimming* your bank account.
11. A sequined cocktail dress that'll put a sparkle in everyone's eyes — with or without your own diamond. I mean with this, who even NEEDS one?!
12. A ruched halter gown for putting your best foot (or in this case, leg) forward. Feel free to remain posing all night.
13. A long-sleeved velvet maxi dress so you can stay nice and warm even if the couple decides to have a "scenic" outdoor wedding. In the middle of December. Oy.
14. An animal print shift dress that'll make you look super polished even if you're a little ~wild~ when it comes to getting the last piece of cake. I understand.
15. A single-shouldered cocktail dress, because you'll easily look more sophisticated than champagne (but you won't turn a glass down, obviously).
16. A sequined layered party dress for turning more heads than the flower girl. But we're not competitive. WHO SAID OTHERWISE?!
17. A cinched mini dress so you'll have something to meet you in the middle and form the perfect union of simple and sweet.
18. A ruffled bodycon midi dress with a show-stopping slit that'll fight back against unexpected winter winds. You're safe in this number, I PROMISE.
19. A pleated lace dress, because you'll find yourself reaching for this piece in the future more times than you need a break from wearing heels. So A LOT.
20. A satin-y drape-front dress for reserving all the drama for your outfit (and I suppose an emotional Insta caption).
21. A patterned swing dress with POCKETS so you have the option to take as many hors d'oeuvres as you can home with you. I'm not saying you will, but.....you can.
22. A ribbed halter midi dress that'll be an instant hit without leaving you up to your neck in debt.
23. An off-the-shoulder cape midi dress, because this'll have you ready to go in one simple step: put on over head. Well, maybe put some shoes on. But that's IT.
24. A plunging lace dress for a look possibly more memorable than the vows. Priorities.
25. A sequined maxi gown so you can act as a DIY disco ball if the DJ somehow forgot theirs. No one panic.
26. A cinched split dress that'll look formal, but *feel* basically like a soft T-shirt. This + flats = secret comfort.
27. A textured velvet dress, because this'll help you make a smooth transition from the ceremony to party. Not that you aren't already more than ready for the open bar.
28. A flared lace dress for saying "I do" to every picture you take. Tl;dr: this is the best date you'll ever find.
29. A jersey off-the-shoulder maxi dress so leaving the house doesn't mean losing the feeling of being in PJ's. I'd never DREAM of it.
30. A long-sleeved embellished dress that'll bring some unexpected bling to the party. Sorry to bring competition, diamonds.
31. A printed button-down maxi dress, because now you can wear something that'll elegantly flow behind you like a veil. Does this mean we'll get gifts, too?
32. A silky strapless dress with a subtle side slit for looking perfectly chic without paying the cost of a wedding. Bless.
33. A crotchet cold-shoulder swing dress that'll shrug off any worries about overspending (hopefully the same applies for their registry).
34. A velvet and lace midi dress so you have two materials that'll go together better than cake and champagne (which is pretty hard to beat tbh).
