Brides have a lot on their minds. Besides making it to the altar without a hitch, there's the age-old question: "How can I keep my bridesmaids from hating me after shelling out $500 on a one-time dress?" Easy. Go for the gold—easily transformable designer gowns that are clear wins. Here are ten of our faves including standout finds from Jason Wu, Diane von Furstenberg, Rachel Comey, and more that will do the trick whether the wedding is a madras-heavy Cape affair or a new wave ceremony on a rooftop garden.—Heather C.
