Wedding guest dresses that you can wear again

While it may seem like we are still in a never ending winter, get ready because wedding season is quickly approaching. Since so many weddings happen in the Spring and Summer, it can feel overwhelming to have to buy different dresses for each occasion. Not only can it come at a cost, it can be unhealthy for our carbon footprints to buy a dress just for one occasion. Any of the below dresses will be perfect for that farmhouse, beach, or garden wedding, plus it will be equally as cute to wear again and again with different styling for multiple events.
