Wedding season is upon us, but this year, there's a new mantra: Dress to impress with pieces that you'll wear not just once, but all spring long. Whether you're traveling to far-flung beaches for a tropical wedding or attending a local wedding in a garden or a church, these pretty dresses will pack a punch (without needing to pack a whole lot of stuff).

Strap on a pair of kitten heel mules or a lace-up sandal to offset this cocktail-length dress that's perfect for the dance floor.

An investment dress—this empire-cut waist and classic peplum hem never goes out of style.
