Call us old fashioned, but there are a few cardinal style rules that you just don’t break. Wearing white to a wedding is one of them. Even the most non-bridezilla of brides, does not want to be upstaged on her big day. Rather than send her into a tizzy down the aisle, trust us, and stay away from white.
Whether you’re off to a beach destination, garden party or black tie wedding this season, toast the newlyweds in style with these non-alabaster numbers.
The Beach Destination
Dragging your toes in the sand, yes. Dragging your dress in it, no. Keep it short when heading to a beach wedding in order to avoid a trail of sand in your hem. Also keep the time of day in mind when picking what color to wear. If the wedding is called for early evening, the hot summer may still be blazing, and no one wants to be caught in a sweaty situation, which is more visible in darker colors. Try this light and flowy frock from Marni or Louis Vuitton’s patterned print for fun and festive options.
The Garden Party
Reveling amongst the roses? Christian Dior ‘s spring 2014 runway was bursting with styles perfect to party in the blooms. Light, airy and simply divine, these dresses may show up the bride, but not because of their hue.
The Black Tie Affair
Go long, go bold, go sparkly. Emillio Pucci has a selection that fits all three categories for attending a dressy union. From this bold violet dress to this stunning black strapless with sheer metal sleeves, you’ll dance the night away in style.
