Top 10 dresses for weddings under £50

Miss Selfridge: Maxi dress, maxi floral, mini price. £33 (Buy) Photograph: Miss Selfridge

New Look: A loose shift shape and a pussy bow neckline is very 1930s. Maybe the right time to show off some Charleston dance moves at the wedding disco? Trust us, it will seem like a great idea after a few glasses of bubbly. £27.99 (Buy) Photograph: newlook.co.uk

Topshop: Yellow is a great colour for a wedding, for it says sunshine and buttercups and all sorts of bright and happy things that make you think of lurve. £30 (Buy) Photograph: topshop.co.uk

Topshop: This is just absolutely lovely. It's also silk and down from £100 to £50 (Buy) Photograph: topshop.co.uk

Topshop: Skater dresses can go one of two ways. The wrong way and you'll end up looking like the 9-year-old daughter of pushy mum who's about to take to the stage. But in the right colours, with the right heels (nude, in this instance) and a 'boyfriend' blazer to match, skater dresses are blooming fab. £46 (Buy) Photograph: topshop.co.uk

Warehouse: Strapless dresses always offer a lovely glimpse of shoulder and can be quite forgiving on the midriff. And if pink florals don't say 'getting hitched' then what does? £17 (Buy) Photograph: warehouse.com

Warehouse: Plisse! It's that pattern on skirts that's everywhere at the moment, the one which almost reminds us of a set of office blinds from the 1980s. In the best possible way, obviously. £20 (Buy) Photograph: warehouse.com

Topshop: Yellow chiffon with a jewel-encrusted neckline? They'll think Jackie-O wafted through the place! Maybe. £50 (Buy) Photograph: topshop.co.uk

Vera Moda: It's beige, but not fancy enough for the bride to mind. Plus, we love those angelic leaf decorations on the shoulders. £35 (Buy) Photograph: veramoda.co.uk

Oasis: A red floral sundress on a white background is has summer wedding written all over it. A snip at £15 (Buy) Photograph: oasis-stores.com
