Wedding Dress Code Guide
Wedding season is rapidly descending upon us! Besides never wearing white, the dress codes of wedding attire have gotten hazier and hazier as time has gone by. But don't fret, I have created this guide to help you look amazing. I decided to focus mostly on location, since that usually makes the most impact on what a person wears.

Garden weddings, or other outdoor wedding, are usually" informal", which technically falls between "casua" and "semi-formal." This usually means cocktail dresses, though you can still get away with a slightly more relaxed look, particularly if it's a daytime affair. This means flowy silks or tailored cotton. I can't help but love prints, particularly florals, for an outdoor wedding. If your style tends to be more minimal or edgy, go for a bright solid to look festive! As for shoes, strappy sandals with tall heels look great, but if you have trouble walking in grass you may want to consider a cute wedge.
I have never been to a "formal" wedding, which is why I have beautiful long gowns wasting away in the back of my closet! These are always evening, black tie affairs with men in tuxedos and women in evening gowns. I imagine these are socialite weddings held at the Plaza, with towering centerpieces and seven course dinners. This is where you break out the satin clutches and pumps, and your most expensive jewelry.
So there you have it, my thoughts and advice on how to style yourself the next wedding you find yourself attending! But don't be afraid to push the envelope... as long as you feel the bride would be OK with it. Remember, it's her day!
