Wedding bells are ringing! If recent headlines weren't enough proof that love is in the air this summer (Drew Barrymore's backyard nuptials, Miley Cyrus' engagement announcement), take a look at your calendar. We're willing to bet you have at least one ceremony lined up during the warmer months. Because dressing for weddings can be tricky (and expensive!) we have put together four wedding looks, all for under $250 each. That includes the whole shebang — dress, shoes, handbag and accessories. Whether it's a black-tie affair, an outdoor gathering, a beach reception or even if you're REALLY on-a-budget (we're talking under $100), these outfits will fit the bill. The bride may be shining in white on her special day, but with these outfits you may give her a run for her money.
Black-tie Wedding:
You may have a trillion floral shifts for your 9-5, but a black-tie affair is an excuse to go all out. Go bold in a summer favorite hue, Kelly green.

Outdoor Wedding:
Nothing is worse than showing up to a relaxed day wedding in a drab LBD. Make sure you don't make that mistake by opting for a bright dress that isn't too formal.

Beach Wedding:
Beach weddings are a summertime staple. Don't make the mistake of trying to navigate the sand in sky-high heels. Instead, opt for more wearable, ultra-feminine attire.
