Brides / Francesca Fasciglione
I attended nine weddings last year. Of those nine, seven were out of state, two were black tie, and one was on the beach—needless to say, my wallet took a hit. For the handful of weddings on my calendar next year, however, I’m coming prepared: I’m stocking up on wedding guest dresses, shoes, and accessories while they’re on sale ahead of Black Friday.
Nordstrom always has an impressive selection of coveted brands—and their sale section is no exception. Steve Madden, Pnina Tornai, and more are marked down ahead of Black Friday, so now’s the time to shop those wedding must-haves (whether you’re a bride or a guest).

Best Wedding Guest Dress Deals
After travel and lodging expenses are paid, the last thing I want to do is shell out hundreds of dollars for a wedding guest dress I may only wear once or twice. Maybe that’s just me problem (who wants to be an outfit repeater, afterall?), but right now, it’s easy to save on dozens of gorgeous dresses—and I found a number of picks under $150. Quiz’s satin maxi dresses are perfect for everything from cocktail hours to wedding receptions, and the Socialite tie-neck long-sleeve maxi dress is getting added to my cart as we speak for an upcoming winter wedding on my calendar.

Black tie weddings are some of my favorites to attend—it’s just fun to get that dressed up. The Sachin & Babi Kayla Halter Gown is perfect for an extra special occasion without breaking the bank. Better yet? It’s available in 19 colorways.

Nordstrom
Wedding guest dress shopping for winter nuptials is anything but convenient. After all, how many long-sleeve gowns are on the market–-and of those, how many actually look cute? That’s why I love this long-sleeve pick from Socialite. It’s elegant enough to wear to formal occasions, but still has a comfortable, modest design that will keep you warm when traveling from ceremony to reception and in chilly banquet halls.
Best Wedding Shoe Deals
Between digging my heels out of grass to getting my toes stepped on while dancing, I’m almost always trashing my shoes at weddings. (If your shoes can make it through a wedding unscathed, you’re probably boring). Now’s the time to replace that pair that’s on its last leg—and so many of the brands you know and love are on sale right now. Below, shop Sam Edelman heeled mules and Pnina Tornai bow-adorned sandals.

These pointed-toe mules are a nice balance of sexy and conservative. Their high heel and glossy floral adornments give them a playful feel that’s perfect for a festive reception, while their closed-toe style feels modest enough to wear to a religious ceremony.

If you’re looking to add a little luxury to your beauty routine, Sisley is probably the best way to do it. The French brand is known for its high-quality ingredients and deliciously scented formulas that are as effective as they are pretty to look at on your bathroom shelf. I can attest to the Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream—which is featured in the set—and its skin-softening benefits.
