Got a wedding coming up? Here are 50 excellent dress ideas.

In case you missed it, wedding season is in full swing. And while we're stoked to finally be able to celebrate our loved ones on their big day, we'd be forgiven for feeling stuck on what to wear.

Because unless the couple throws the rulebook out completely, weddings come with particular guidelines you need to consider before choosing a look (like no white, for obvious reasons), and a dress code to abide by, whether that's smart casual, cocktail or black tie. 

On that... Can you ever get away with wearing white to a wedding? Women share their thoughts. Post continues below.
