Finding dresses to wear to weddings and other events can be fun but it can also be stressful if it's last minute.
Some key things to consider include:
Fabric: I love traditional cotton or seersucker (all cotton) during the summer because cotton breathes well on those scorching hot days. I got married on a 90-plus degree day, so I felt the pain of my wedding guests standing in our reception line outside. Plus, I love it when I can find a dress I don't have to dry clean for once!
Color: I mostly love light colors for the summer. Try colors you might not wear in the winter like light yellows, aqua, lavender, etc. I stay as far away from any shade of white or light pink or light silver when I attend a wedding because it's the bride's day. I also try to stay away from black because I think it's always the stereotypical wedding guest color. (That being said, yes, I've worn black before! But I like to try to have more fun with summer colors.)
Versatility: How many other ways can you style the dress? Can you add a light tan blazer and wear it to work? Can you style it with different jewelry and wear it to another summer event? This is a key question for me!
