1. An off-the-shoulder cocktail dress so you can shrug off worries about looking sophisticated all night, even after your fifth trip to the buffet.
2. A bodycon cami dress that'll bring you at least ten proposals by the end of the night. Think about it, and then raise them each one puppy.
3. A cold-shoulder floral midi dress for becoming the best bouquet imaginable. Personally I think the bride should be carrying YOU down the aisle.
4. A backless slip dress with semi-sheer embroidery, because this'll turn more heads than the flower girl. But we're not competitive. WHO SAID OTHERWISE?!
5. A bandage fishtail dress so you can score a red hot number you'll want to wear until the end of time. Kind of like a marriage, but BETTER.
6. A floral ruched dress that'll help you flourish in compliments all night without wilting your bank account.
7. A crochet lace dress for helping you easily look more sophisticated than a glass of champagne (but you won't turn a glass down, obviously).
8. A wrap-over dress with shoulder cutouts, 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.
9. A delicate tiered dress so you catch the photographer's attention in no time at all. Free professional shots? Don't mind if I do.
10. An off-the-shoulder mermaid midi dress that'll convince your new admirers to put YOU on an altar. You will obviously accept.
11. A semi-sheer, layered maxi dress for saving the drama for your outfit (and I suppose an emotional Insta caption).
12. A sequined layered party dress, because you can act as a DIY disco ball if the DJ somehow forgot theirs. No one panic.
13. A peplum sheath dress so you can get down to ~business~ when it comes to wearing a number you can wear again to work. Unless you're invited to the honeymoon 🤔?
14. A V-neck flared dress with POCKETS that'll quickly become your favorite date to bring to every single wedding, party, dinner, etc. It's pretty much you two against the world now.
15. A floral wrap mini dress for getting ready in just a *cinch* — aka when you're racing to be the first to cocktail hour. Those mini hotdogs aren't going to eat themselves.
16. A scalloped off-the-shoulder dress, because this'll keep you cool during your AGGRESSIVE dance-off with the bride's grandma. This is why we can't take you anywhere.
17. A plaid sheath dress so you can at least look like a chic adult while attempting your first Hora.
18. A chiffon tunic dress, because every wedding could use a bell — sleeve, that is. Feel free to use this pun in your speech.
19. A wrap midi dress so you can actually *bare* to take pictures with the photographer. Suddenly that doesn't seem so bad...
20. An off-the-shoulder maxi dress with **hidden pockets** that'll actually feel like pajamas all night — which is great, because you're out past your bedtime.
21. A plunging maxi dress for knowing that slit is about to give you an Angelina Jolie moment the whole 👏darn👏 time👏. Don't be surprised when you're suddenly giving out autographs.
22. A knotted midi dress, because this'll keep at least your body comfortable when your heels start to bark.
23. A mixed-print smock dress so you can easily stand out in every single group photo. Not that...you were planning that...😉.
24. A backless halter maxi dress that'll help you put your best foot (or in this case, leg) forward. Warning: you may find yourself posing all night.
25. A satin high-low gown for a look possibly more memorable than the vows. Priorities.
26. A ruffled skater dress, because your go-to LBD is ready for a break. It's time for an ~approachable update~.
27. A ruched halter gown so you'll instantly look like the PEAK of sophistication. If there was a Best Dressed list for weddings, you would be number one.
28. A lace midi dress that'll make you the bride's "something borrowed, something blue." Just stand with them the whole time. Even at the altar.
29. A printed cotton dress with ✨pockets✨ for any outdoor weddings that already feel like they're in the tropics (read: southern weddings). No sweaty pits here.
30. A printed chiffon dress, because it's easiest to go with the flow when you're super comfortable. And when you're already stuffed with fondue.
31. A tie-front A-line dress so you can wear it again a million times in the future — graduations, vacations, MORE weddings, I think you get it. Basically it's something you'll never want to ~cut out~.
32. A printed cinched mini dress that'll result in a *pattern* of compliments from the time you arrive to when you leave.
33. A V-neck wrap dress for a classic you'll never grow tired of wearing. In fact, people better get USED to seeing this at all future weddings.
34. An asymmetrical ruffle dress, because this'll make sure you become the living, breathing version of the 💃: aka everyone's favorite guest.
35. A polka-dot button-down dress so you can come PREPARED. Why, you ask? It has deep pockets — buffet, you've been warned.
36. A gathered sheath dress that'll make you reconsider if you don't believe in soulmates. Meet your perfect match.
37. A ruffled cocktail dress for bringing the heat if the weather is less than perfect. Crisis averted.
38. A pearl-beaded collared dress with sheer sleeves, because anyone who says it's bad luck to wear black to a wedding needs to see THIS. It's called fashion, baby.
39. A semi-sheer floral maxi dress so you singlehandedly bring the party's romantic vibes to a whole new level.
