Summer has officially begun and by now no doubt your mailboxes are over flowing with invitations to nuptials, engagement parties, bridal showers, and wedding farewell brunches; but have no fear Janee is here. These summer looks will work for almost any wedding-related occasion and are all less than $300! While these looks are suggested for the following occasions, the possibilities are endless: Black Tie Wedding
Parker “Heidi” Silk Jumper
Jumpsuits for a black tie wedding? Absolutely! The black pallet gives the opportunity to either dress it up or down. With the right shoes — preferably a bright pump — satin peep toe, or sophisticated print and coordinating jewelry you can definitely be the belle of the ball. (Without upstanding the bride of course!) This chic jumpsuit can be found at Piperlime.com for only $286.
Beach/Island Destination
Geo Texture Maxi
This dress certainly calls for a venue where the water is blue and the sand is white. Chiffon fabric is perfect for beach/ island destination weddings. It’s very comfortable and suitable if you plan to dance the night away. It also travels well because we all know hotel irons suck! This geo print number by Guess can be found at Bloomingdales.com for $108.00.
Traditional Church
Polka Dot Satin Tulip Dress
There’s nothing wrong with being modest and cute in “the house”. Can I get an amen? This pink polka dot dress is both fashionable and youthful. With the touch of a stylish pump the above satin tulip dress makes a great look for a traditional church wedding. This Eliza J Polka Dot Satin Tulip Dress can be found at Nordstrom.com for $188.00.
Backyard/Garden
Bandage V-Neck Skater Dress
Blend in with the background! Bright colors are ideal for a backyard/garden venue. This frock is a stunner and can be worn for multiple occasions. Add a pop of (more) color with a belt in a hue of yellow, orange or red. For those ladies who are really daring, the a printed pump will complete the look. This little pink dress can be found at Topshop for $50.00.
Modern (Loft, Museum, or Art Gallery)
ASOS Body-Conscious Dress With Mono Panels
The tried and true combo of black and white always works but this season it is particularly popular. This body conscious dress is equally sophisticated and sexy. Midi dresses are the ultimate summer must have so why not wear one to a wedding? Make this black & white beauty pop with a red shoe and matching lip or try a pretty pastel like lavender, coral or teal. This beauty is a steal on Asos.com for only $29.70.
Which look is your favorite and why?
My favorites are the beach maxi dress and the satin tulip but they are all very nice.
@Anon – Thanks for weighing in!
Because of my shape, I think my favorite is the black & white dress. I know my man would enjoy seeing me in this dress.
@Nadia – The black and white dress is figure flattering for most because the vertical “line” elongates the torso. Janee choose great finds!
