It’s wedding season — and while it’s fun to get all dressed up and toast to love, weddings are expensive. Between travel, hotels and buying something off the registry, costs quickly add up. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend hundreds on your wedding guest dress.
Right now, Target is full of spring and summer dresses that are practically made for wedding season. Romantic chiffon ruffles, sweet flutter sleeves, gorgeous floral maxis — you’ll have a hard time picking just one. Rounded up here are 14 to consider.
This black and white polka dot dress
Have a nighttime wedding on the cal? This tiered, ruffled polka-dot dress is ideal. With the perfect mix of elegant and playful, you’re sure to be one of the night’s best dressed. “I was flabbergasted,” wrote a reviewer named Deanna. “I rarely write reviews but felt compelled bc this dress is so good for the price! I got it on sale. Looks more expensive than it is [true to size].”

This flowy cape dress
The color! The pleats! The cape! How chic is this this vibrantly colored dress? If orange isn't your color, but you love the idea of a cape dress, you can get it in either yellow or red. Get it in sizes S-3XL.
This white and red floral print dress
There’s nothing that represents love more than roses, making this floral dress very on theme for spring and summer weddings. Fitted around the body with a slightly flared skirt, it’s both flattering and comfortable. Get this in sizes S-XL.
Target’s plus-size Ava & Viv brand has a very similar style in sizes 16-30.

Reviewer Adrianne said: “I love this dress and, I received so many compliments! Even disbelief when I told them I got it from Target!!”
This lace cocktail dress
Especially if you're attending a nighttime wedding, a dress with lace detailing is perfect. Besides navy, this elegant cocktail dress comes in black, pink and red.
A flowy maxi dress in a striking floral print
This sweeping maxi comes in lightweight rayon adorned with a bold floral print that will help you stand out at a festive summer affair. Get it in two other colors and sizes XXL-4X.
This satin halter maxi dress
Target customers who bought and reviewed this ’90s-inspired satin halter maxi dress love that the lightweight fabric doesn’t wrinkle easily. Choose between mint floral, light pink, tan, blue or black. Get this in sizes XS-4X.
This olive green tie-waist dress
The tie-waist detail on this dress makes it flattering for essentially every body type. Versatile enough to dress up or down, you’ll be wearing this dress all spring and summer long, not just for the wedding on your calendar. Get this in sizes S-XL.
This flutter-sleeve A-line dress
How sweet and dainty are the bow-adorned flutter sleeves on this maxi dress? The recycled polyester material is lightweight, making it perfect for spring and summer weddings. Choose between light blue or moss green. “I will say, this is the most beautiful dress ever and I never write reviews but I just had to for this one,” wrote reviewer MG40621. Get this in sizes XXS-XXL.
A number of reviewers noted that the bows are a different material — which, based on one customer photo, appears to be a grosgrain-type weave. We also saw comments that the bows were easily removed.
This floral halter neck dress
There’s no need to catch the bouquet when you’re already bursting with beautiful blooms. The soft, tiered ruffle detailing gives this dress nice movement, especially if the wedding you’re going to is outside where there’s a slight breeze. Get this in sizes S-XL.
A lace midi for a non-traditional event
While it’s generally considered a faux pas to wear white to a wedding, there are plenty of reasons to opt for this stylish lace sheath at your next event — especially if you’re going to a warm-weather destination wedding, if the bride isn’t wearing white or has requested a specific dress code, according to Martha Stewart. Take a look if this festive plus-sized piece, available in sizes 1X-4X, for your next non-traditional affair: Reviewers are unequivocally pleased with the piece, saying it fits true to size and doesn't wrinkle easily, making it ideal for travel.
This olive green chiffon dress
This ruffled chiffon dress is practically begging to be worn on the dance floor. Imagine the movement as you sway and twirl the night away. Get this in sizes S-XL.
