Azazie - By now you saw that we love the dresses from Azazie. But, if we haven't convinced you, just check out their full selection of dresses from $30 to $50!
Lulus - Lulus is our favorite for wedding guest dresses under $100, but most full priced dresses are between $60 - $100 usually. However, their sale section has so many styles and colors that they are retiring, and most of them are under $50, and sometimes as low as $25. They are always worth a look!
Nordstrom Rack - Where do the awesome dresses I feature from Nordstrom go on sale? Nordstrom Rack! This shop is full of dresses I've featured recently, at deep, deep discounts. It's truly a bargain hunter's paradise. Loads of designer dresses at 50 - 60% off. If a favorite dress has gone out of stock at Nordstrom, I always look here. Check out the selection at Nordstrom Rack
ASOS - has one of the best selections of wedding-appropriate dresses for under $100. It can be a little trickier to find a dress under $50, but their sale section is a great place to look. It's also a great spot to find affordable maternity dresses!
Rent the Runway - technically these dresses cost quite a bit more than $50, but you can find hundreds of dresses to rent for under $50. While you may not get to wear it again, if you really need a formal gown and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars, this is the first place I look! You can also do their unlimited program, and get several dresses a month, however, the selection is limited!
Target - has a whole section of wedding guest dresses, although I would say they are probably more suited to casual weddings, there are still some good picks. They also have quite a selection of wedding party supplies!
