So you’ve been invited to a wedding. Yes, you’re finally at that age when your friends and colleagues are started to get hitched, and you find yourself bao-ing more money in a year than you’ve ever did for the past 20 years.

And since you’ll be shelling out close to $200 on a red packet (depending on the venue and how close you are to the bride or groom), spending hundreds of dollars on a dress is certainly out of the question – unless you know you’re going to wear the same dress for the next 10 weddings.

What’s more, if you’re a bridesmaid, you’ll probably be assigned a specific dress colour, and that colour might change the next time you become a bridesmaid for somebody else. So it’s definitely not worth your money to splurge on a dress that you’ll probably wear only once.

Which is why we’ve rounded up 14 dresses from Zalora that will make you look like a star without causing a giant hole in your wallet.
