For example, shop Eloquii's Pleated Tank Gown for an elegant look for a courthouse wedding. The Amelia flutter-sleeve gown is ideal for an indoor-outdoor wedding, and it's less than $250 at Anthropologie. Shop it in multiple colors, including a raspberry floral or a chocolate brown that's perfect for the months ahead.

If the dress code calls for black-tie, try Kay Unger's jacquard fit-and-flare gown or a metallic floral gown.
