27 Dresses That Will Look Perfect at Your Courthouse Wedding
Beaded-trim A-line
Would look just as beautiful with a pair of metallic flats as it would with strappy stilettos.
GOAT ($1,104)
White Tuxedo
Because you’re more of a suit-and-(no)-tie kind of gal.
Monique Lhuillier jacket ($2,300) and pants ($990)
Sweetheart Wrap
The straps mean you get that delicate neckline without worrying about any, uh, slips.
Alice + Olivia ($440)
3-d Lace Midi
Comfortable enough to head straight from the ceremony to the airport to jet off on your honeymoon.
ASOS Edition ($285)
Suit-inspired Strapless
A genius blend of masculine and feminine.
Lela Rose (price upon request)
Tie-shoulder Lace
The nude slip underneath is what makes this peekaboo lace feel so unique. That and the easy, flattering silhouette.
Donna Morgan ($228)
Caped Jumpsuit
You’re never going to want to take off this elegant as hell one-piece.
Sally LaPointe ($1,650)
Tie-waist Skirt Suit
You could easily mix and match both these pieces with others in your wardrobe and wear them again.
Yeon jacket ($1,213) and skirt ($829)
Off-the-shoulder Jumpsuit
Wear this ’70s-inspired one-piece for the ceremony and then head immediately to your favorite disco.
By the way ($88)

The T-shirt cut up top makes this stunner feel a little less formal, but no less special, than other ball gowns.
