Wedding Week- Military

A military wedding can mean different wardrobe choices.  There are informal military weddings.  Most military wedding I’ve seen have meant the men are in their “dress blues” or “blue or white mess dress” which means they are in their fancy uniforms.

If this is what the guys are wearing, don’t show up in your maxi dress.  When the men are wearing something sharp, now is not the time to look frumpy.

For a military wedding, I think something with structure is appropriate.  I like these retro inspired dresses with the full skirts.  They have seaming and shape up top and are a little flirty and feminine on the bottom.

A little bit of the same structure he’s wearing, a little bit girly.  A perfect match to salute that arch of swords!

Wedding Week- Destination

Destination weddings are becoming more and more popular. Who wouldn’t want to get outta dodge and go some place exotic or historic? If you are lucky enough to get to attend a destination wedding, typically the vibe is more relaxed. Today’s outfit is for the tropical destination wedding. I packed a jersey dress, it’ll feel great in the humidity and it’ll pack like a champ. Throw on a pair of easy but pretty sandals, some flower earrings and wear a flower in your hair!  Now you’re ready for a day in paradise!

Wedding Week- Casual

It’s wedding season and many of you have weddings coming up to attend.  What to wear? This week, I’ll give you five outfits to wear depending on your wedding destination.

Today’s wedding is casual.  It can be hard to know if the wedding is truly casual, especially when some venues can be either casual or more formal.

Take for example, a beach wedding or a wedding that takes place in a barn.  Either place screams casual, but there have been lots of weddings lately that have taken that venue and made it elegant.  So be weary.

This is what I would pack.  If you’re absolutely certain that you know the family and it is going to be casual.  This is it.  This dress is easy, the sandals will be comfortable and will withstand sand or dirt.  And yet the necklace makes this outfit just a little more fancy.

And if you’re worried that it might not be “nice” enough, pack a pair of heels and wear your hair up.  It’ll still pass!
