Wedding Wear
'Tis the season when most people will be attending weddings. Myself included. First up, for my husband and I, is a wedding in Paris followed by a vacation in Italy where I'm looking forward to plenty of wine and pasta.
For this week's Friday Favorites we picked our top looks of what to wear to a wedding. Plus, two to-the-point wedding attending tips:
-Don't wear white unless the brides asks you. Don't wear anything too short, too low cut or just too revealing-leave your club-going dresses for just that, when you're looking for attention at a club. There's nothing worse than being the talk of the wedding for your breasts being on display. It won't snag a date from the inebriated groomsmen and you'll be disrespecting the occasion.
-If your invite doesn't say plus one, don't write one in or show up with a date. Weddings are costly and unless you've been dating someone for at least six months you shouldn't expect to be able to bring a date. Most brides and grooms are thinking ahead and a year from now they really don't want to look at photos of you and wonder who's that guy standing next to you in all the photos. Just go and have fun, dance with your friends and make new ones.
Alison's Pick
Raoul Bita Bow Maxi Dress, $590 Saks Fifth Avenue Crystal Crush Bobbi Pin, $25 Ban.do
I purposely skip black dresses at weddings and opt for color instead. Nothing that steals the thunder from the bride, but nothing that disappears among a sea of other dresses either. This blue dress is elegant for an evening or black tie affair. Then I'd add a crystal covered bobbi pin to pull hair away from my face and add a little more color to my outfit.
Christina Wright's Pick
Stapless Green Dress, $128 LuLu Ivory Crescent Necklace, $28 Francesca's
One of my favorite things about working weddings is seeing all the amazing style from the guests. My team style is always hip & onbrand when working, but we still have to have comfort and ease in our outfits when working 12+ hour days. So I LOVE when I actually get to attend a wedding and wear something absolutely fabulous! This dress from LuLu's is exactly that...the green is bright and fun for the season, and the silhouette is fun & flirty....perfect dress to dance the night away! Love the simplicity of neutral accessories with my bold dress. The styling makes everything feel much more luxe, and I love that I can get so much use out of them after the event.
Lauren's Pick
Bead Embroidered Dress, $85 Feel Luxury Thyme Wedge, $95 Seychelle's Footwear
Two of my favorite things about weddings are a 1. open bar and 2. a rocking wedding band! If I'm gonna shake my stuff on the dance floor, I want to wear a dress that twirls along with me. This apricot, beaded & embroidered dress has a soft, romantic look to it to suit the ceremony, but give it a twist or two and that lace and those beads will be catching the eyes of all the eligible bachelors in the room. To top it off, I wear a comfortable matching wedge to give me some height without killing my feet from all the sweet moves I'll be doing.
Christina Moffitino's Pick
Bustier Georgette Maxi Dress, $148 BCBG Havanna Clutch, $88 J.Crew
With a friend's beach style wedding coming up, I'm planning gifts and, of course, an outfit for the occasion. I love this bright coral dress because the color reminds me of a beautiful summer sunset. It has a sexy silhouette with still enough room to get down for a night of dancing with the bride. I'd slap some bangles on with the woven clutch to create a perfect pairing for seaside style.
