What to wear to a spring wedding? Spring is the perfect time to have fun with prints. Florals for spring are hardly groundbreaking, but they’re a go-to for a reason. Not into prints? Pick a pastel dress to play up your feminine flair. A dress with an interesting neckline will be a hit! Try an off-the-shoulder or strapless silhouette—they’re both beautiful choices.
What to wear to a summer wedding? Outdoor weddings are very popular so it’s important consider the weather when shopping for your dress in the summertime. A short dress can be ideal to make sure you keep cool and flaunt a little leg. If the dress code is black tie, you can still get away with a short dress. Go with a classic neutral—little black dresses never go out of style. If the wedding dress code is more relaxed, then you can opt for a bolder color.
