Winter/Spring Wedding Wearables

Alrighties, so one of you fabulous readers asked what to wear to a winter/spring wedding out East. After a visit to my grandpa (who unfortunately has no internet) and other relatives, and 14 hours in the car (there and back) which meant lots of brainstorming, I give you my personal favorite wedding guest dresses :)
P.S. Remember that if you do not choose to go longsleeved, and you think you're going to get cold, a cardigan is definitely a stylish and practical option!
Personally, I adore this dress. It's conservative, elegant and not overdone. It flatters all shapes and sizes, and it also comes in a dark navy/black color.
$48 "Soprano Sweetheart Illusion Bodice Dress" shop.nordstrom.com
The black patterning gives this dress a sassy but demure twist. The winter color meets spring florals, and voila! Say hello to the perfect piece.
$148 "Maggy London Beaded Metallic Brocade Sheath Dress" shop.nordstrom.com
This warm green option is a good choice if you want something more mature.
$244.99 "Fresh Cut Dress" www.modcloth.com
This simple but lovely dress is navy velvet. Soft and sophisticated, the "touch me" fabric is perfect for early spring; not too much, but not to light
$68 "Velvet Sweetheart Strapless" www.thelimited.com
If it's still going to be chilly, a long-sleeved dress like this Max Azria number would be a good choice. Not fancy enough? Look for one with either a pattern or a more structured cut
$278 "Max Azria Draped Knit Dress" www.BCBG.com
The color of royalty, this piece has more detail and is thus more daring, but it keeps an appropriate aura by having a classy and conservative neckline
$$? indie cult vintage (ebay only)

I hope these dresses can provide you with some inspiration or maybe even be the one! Happy hunting, CB.
