 This bright coral maxi dress is a polished and simple way to dress for any fancy summer occasion.  Be sure to get a chiffon maxi, however, and steer clear of cotton for a dressy event! You can find this dress at Lulu's for $71.  Get it here: Strapless Coral Maxi Dress

3.  Wrap It Up

For a beautiful short dress, try this navy wrap-around dress.  The deep V neckline is flirty and fun, and the fabric belt adds a nice touch to the look of the dress.  If you are into darker colors, be sure to go with something like a deep navy as opposed to black--you are going to a wedding, not a funeral!  You can get this dress from ASOS for $54.30.  Get it here: ASOS Sleeveless Wrap Dress

4.  Get Lacy

Lace is coming back with a vengeance and a hint of lace is perfect for any summer look.  While a full lace dress (long sleeve or 3/4 sleeve especially) is probably more suited for a formal winter event, a touch of lace in a warmer or lighter color can go a long way for a summer wedding.  Check out this white lace top with a dulled pink bottom dress from Mod Cloth for $62.99.  Get it here: The Lace for Romance Dress

5.  Go Bold

Not into the pastel colors or dull tones that have been taking over this season?  Don't be afraid to go bold with a brightly colored short dress.  You will stand out, and the vibrant color will highlight your sun-kissed summer skin.  If you are going bold, however, try to avoid maxi dresses, as it may be a bit overwhelming to have both color and length.  Try something like this JCPenney Alyx Dress for $25.  Get it here: Alyx Solid Red Sheath Dress
