For most of us summer time means sun, beach, and bbq's. However, it can also stand as code for thee dreaded "WEDDING SEASON". Key the Wedding March music and get your credit cards ready for swiping. First you receive the save the date magnet, followed by the formal invitation, as the date comes closer, the panic sets in. What to wear to all of the "pre-game" events and what gifts to buy?? There are engagement parties, bridal showers, bacherlorette parties, and finally the actual wedding reception. Personally, I have the honor of attending four weddings this summer. I've already survived two of them, two more to go! So, after much observation during all of these festivities, I have some advice to pass on to my lucky summer wedding guests......
The "I DO's"
1. Wear a bright color
2. Go for a shorter length
3. Cold shoulder silhouettes are trending
4. Pack a travel size deodorant, blotting cloths, mini bar bottles in your clutch
The "I Do NOT's"
1. Wear florals (wearing florals to a wedding is as expected as wearing them for Spring)
2. Wear Silk (unless you want us to see exactly where your sweat glands are)
3. Wear uncomfortable shoes then change into flip flops (keep a pair of chic flats in your car for emergencies ONLY)
4. Wear tight dresses that does not fit your body! (Accentuate your best assets)
Lastly, fellas - keep it simple. Tailored suit, tie, fresh haircut, clean shoes, and a nice handkerchief to wipe your sweaty forehead.
