CLOTHING: GARBARINI

Darlings, spring has now sprung and summer is just around the corner, which only means one thing - it’s officially wedding season! I just adore this time of year, when you can put away your sweaters and boots, dust off your heels, and get hunting for the perfect dress, or, dresses to wear to celebrate your nearest and dearest. I love attending weddings, there’s always something special about celebrating love and romance. It’s always lovely to get dressed up and feel gorgeous. It can, however, be extremely tricky knowing what to wear, and finding the perfect outfit can easily become overwhelming.  

The dress you choose has a series of requirements that it has to meet. It has to suit the theme of the wedding, be respectful to the bride, and also has to be an outfit that you can wear again for future events. To help you all out, I visited Garbarini where their wonderful stylist Deb curated three wedding guest looks for the season – so no matter what type of wedding you're attending, you’ll be covered.

  1. THE BEACH WEDDING

A beach wedding gives you a little more room to flaunt some skin and this Norma Kamali dress allows you to do that in style. This has to be one the most stunning maxi’s I have ever seen. Sleek, flattering for anyone with curves, and the mermaid-style bottom is incredibly chic. The brightly colored floral print makes it easy to pair with your favorite accessories to give a statement look however, the best part is the deep cut back, bringing glamour to the beach.

What I’m Wearing: Dress by Norma Kamali, Earrings by Deepa Gurnani


2. THE CHURCH WEDDING

When attending a church wedding the dress code always has to be more formal. This Samantha Sung Audrey number is the ultimate button-up with a full skirt, giving major Carrie from Sex and The City vibes. Timeless, elegant, and a real head-turner. I fell in love with the pomegranate print, kitsch yet truly classic.

3. THE MOUNTAIN WEDDING

This look screams Colorado! Any outdoor Rockie mountain wedding calls for a hat and gingham and this look pairs both needs perfectly. The wrap dress has long been a staple for every woman’s wardrobe and for wedding season it is no different. It is such a flattering style no matter your body type and a piece you will wear again and again! We all know things can get chilly up in the mountains in the evenings so pair this look with the little Serra by Joie Rucker denim jacket to keep you warm and stylish.

What I’m Wearing: Dress by Ralph Lauren, hat by Reinhard Plank, Denim Jacket by Serra By Joie Rucker.
