While it's not as intense as being the bride, attending a wedding can be stressful! Not only do you have to consider the most thought-intensive aspect, what to wear, but also how to get to the venue, how much the trip will cost, who you'll see, what you'll do and how to avoid your college boyfriend...aah!

While we can't help you avoid your ex, we can help you conquer the hardest part first, the outfit, which will certainly ease your wedding woes. There are a couple of important things to think about, the first being style (of course) and the second being comfort. If you opt for stilettos, you'll likely regret it after a few minutes when it's already too late to turn back for a comfier shoe — that's why we're all about maximizing comfort while enhancing style. No sacrifice here!

If the cost of everything is also at the forefront of your mind, we get it — being a wedding guest gets expensive, especially when you have to travel or have multiple weddings in a year. When choosing an outfit, you want it to be versatile enough for multiple occasions. We've got you covered!

Here are 21 of our favorite wedding guest dresses, shoes and accessories under $50 to carry you through all the fancy celebrations on your agenda this spring and summer. Let's jump in!
