Going to the beach is definitely a special occasion, however, when you get to opt for a bunch of your pals or family to bop, sip champagne, and celebrate love, it's better still. Yup, I'm referring to that beach wedding you have invited for this year.

Of course, you're interested in all the fun you are going to have while celebrating your preferred newlyweds-to-be, however, you may also be wondering what you are actually designed to wear like a guest to some beach wedding. Well, the good thing is that beach weddings tend to be low-key, so you will want to opt for more casual choices—think flowy, floral boho-chic maxi dresses and fun, playful tropical-printed gowns.

You'll also think about fabrics. Chances are, you might get sand in additional than just your toes, and you will want something lightweight like cotton, satin, or chiffon to help keep you cool and dry on the planet. Just avoid heavy velvets and embroidered fabrics—they'll trap both sand as well as heat.

Of course, not every beach wedding is created equal. Some are small, casual, barefoot-style gatherings while some may actually be formal and indoors, prom dress shops simply overlooking the water. Others lie somewhere in the center, there is however a beach wedding guest dress (along with a jumper option!) on this list for just about any type of wedding you might be attending this season. There's a wide enough range here that you could feel free to grab several beach dresses to put on for the whole time you're on vaca. You can even consider wearing the majority of the options on this list to any or all of the non-beach summer weddings you might be attending.

And, since you are probably also spending a great deal on flights, hotels, and gifts, you will be happy to hear that the majority of the dresses on this list are under $100—tons are in fact under $50, too.
