Summer Wedding Season: Be The Best Dressed Guest!
Summer Wedding Season: Be The Best Dressed Guest!
It’s finally July, which means warm weather is here to stay and wedding season is well underway. Between bridal showers, swanky soirées, and post-wedding brunches, the next few months can get seriously busy for you and your wardrobe (and your checkbook). And with all of those attendee rules-“Don’t be a Pippa and wear white!”-it’s hard to keep every occasion straight in your style schedule.
That’s why we’re here to help. Take a look at our top choices for the season’s range of wedding events, and snag some best-dressed inspiration for every event.
The Bridal Shower
Whether it’s a tea get together with just the girls or a low-key couple’s shower, we love the idea of dressing up a pair of crisp white shorts with stylish wedges and a light-weight blazer. The trick to keeping this look both sailor-chic and shower-appropriate is girly accessories. Try rosette earrings, a bag in a sweet summery color, and a nautical blouse that’s equal parts preppy and feminine.
The Bachelorette Night-Out
The bachelorette celebration is all about embracing your flirty and festive side. While we always enjoy a good party dress, a figure-hugging pencil skirt and a sheer blouse in a attention-getting shade adds the perfect mix of mystery and sex appeal . Keep up the loud and playful theme of the night with bold, sparkly accessories and strappy heels.
The Rehearsal Dinner
The rehearsal dinner is generally a time for the bride and groom’s closest family and friends to welcome one another and gather in preparation. So go for a frock that’s classy and not over-the-top in style . Keep things chic in a sophisticated neutral dress (or skirt and top) with wedges, then add a pop of color with a little coral lipstick and a gorgeous printed silk scarf.
The Daytime Wedding
The daytime wedding screams contemporary femininity, so opt for a mid-length dress that’s soft and flowy . Wearing color in the course of the day is more than okay as long as you balance it with a neutral, feminine handbag and pair of heels .
The Formal Evening Affair
A black tie wedding is a very formal affair, so if you opt for a cocktail dress, choose one that’s no shorter than knee-length on you . Get glamorous with peplum shapes, pearl, black, and gold accessories, and don’t forget a classic black heel . Add a swipe of red lipstick, and you’ll look red-carpet ready.
The Destination Wedding
A destination wedding is the ideal time to break out a beautiful boho maxi or breezy pastel dress! Stay both beach-casual and wedding-formal with low-key beaded accessories and dressy sandals.
The Post-Wedding Brunch
After dancing the evening away, there’s nothing better than slipping into something that’s comfy and cute . A cotton maxi ought to do the trick! Pull the look together with just a few colorful accessories and your everyday bag , and you’ll look effortlessly dressed – even if you had one too many drinks of champagne . Casual summer blouses can work for these events just as well.
