Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale Is Filled With Dreamy Wedding Guest Dresses
Everything from floral midis to black tie-worthy gowns are up to 60 percent off.
Is your calendar packed with summer weddings or upcoming autumn nuptials? If so, Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is the perfect time to score a wedding guest dress at a major discount. While you're stocking up on new shoes and fall sweaters, you might as well snag a formal dress (or two)—especially now that so many chic styles are up to 60 percent off.
From breezy gowns ideal for beachfront ceremonies to flirty minis you'll rewear for date night, there's something for every dress code and vibe. Bold printed looks and textured midis from brands like Mango, House of CB, and Alice + Olivia start at just $48—which means you'll have room left in your budget to snag some coordinating accessories, too.
Nordstrom's mega-sale runs through August 3, but the best pieces are already selling out. Keep scrolling to shop 14 wedding guest dress deals you won't want to miss.
