The little black dress. This dress will work for almost any kind of wedding. Whether it is a formal evening wedding or a casual day wedding, the little black dress will always be appropriate.

Floral print dresses. A fun floral print is a good dress to wear to a summer wedding or a wedding in the spring. You can even dress these up if you are attending an evening wedding, or a more casual sundress for a daytime wedding.

The party dress. A party dress is what you should look for when you are expected to dress festively. A party dress should be about knee length with fun bright colors if you can. A cocktail dress would also work for a festive evening wedding.

A smart dress. Although not as common, there may be a time when you attend a formal daytime wedding. In this case you can wear a smart looking short dress, or even a suit. Go for a sophisticated look with bright colors. In this case you should stay away from black so you don’t look stuffy. You can also wear fun accessories to brighten up your look as well.
