The Perfect Floral Dress for an Outdoor Wedding
Wedding season has arrived and with it the "what to wear" dilemma. Do you ever find yourself struggling with the appropriate type of outfit for a wedding? Who doesn't now and again! Last year I wrote a blog piece on wedding guest attire, so I thought I'd loop back around again this time with a great Maggy London floral dress option for all you ladies out there attending weddings this season.
THE PERFECT MAGGY LONDON FLORAL DRESS TO WEAR AS A WEDDING GUEST
I love a good reason to wear a fit and flare dress and a wedding (plus the warmer weather) is a great excuse. This Maggy London floral dress is such a great shape, with the flare skirt that billows out from the front to back, it's just the right amount of dressy for a semi-formal wedding.
What I love about a great fit and flare floral dress is that not only can you wear it as a wedding guest but you can turn it into a fun weekend brunch dress by adding a jean jacket (one of my favorite warmer weather style staples). Sometimes that's the joy of being able to pick out a dress as a wedding guest because you have the luxury of choosing something you like that you can (hopefully) get more than one wear out of. And that is most definitely so for this lovely dress. A fun accessory pairing is a chic pastel jemma handbag and a great pair of heels. It's the perfect pastel compliment to a floral dress for a wedding or for the weekend.
Wedding Guest Ready Tips
Planning an outfit for a wedding as a guest can be really fun if you're jazzed about nailing the perfect outfit. But sometimes, you're just not sure. In the warmer weather months, here are a few tips to remember to have you feeling wedding guest ready in no time!
- Prints/Colors that work: Florals, pastels, and lighter prints. Save the darker prints for the cooler months. Tips on choosing the right color? Hold the dress up to your cheek. If your cheeks looks bright and blushy, it's a great choice!
- Lengths that are just right: Knee length, just above or below is ideal in the spring and summer months. But if you'd rather, it's okay to opt for floor length too. What's not appropriate is a dress that is shorter than your fingertips.
- Carry a bag that fits all your necessities: I love a lifestyle bag that is both functional and pretty. When you head to a wedding, carry a bag that will fit your wallet, phone, keys, and of course, lipstick!
