While it's questionable if May actually brings flowers (hello continuous rain!) there is no doubt that May brings weddings, and lots of 'em. Of course, a summer filled with plans to watch others wed may get expensive, but it also has the potential for a lot of fun - think dancing, drinks, and catching up with old friends.
Most of the weddings I will attend this summer are in town, but I do have a few that will require some travel, which of course requires a bit of advance planning. When packing for a weekend wedding away, there are a few guidelines that I've set for myself to make the process a little less stressful.
If you're in the wedding you can bet on being invited to a rehearsal dinner, usually held the night before the big day. However, many will also invite any out of town guests to the dinner or out for drinks after. For a rehearsal dinner, I generally reach for a dress with a classic silhouette in a strong color, that is easily accessorized with a fun, eye catching pair of heels.
For the wedding itself, my favorite dresses are those with a fun, bold print where a clutch or shoes in a punchy color easily ties the whole look together. And of course, after two straight days of heel-wearing activities (read: a ton of dancing!) the morning after requires a serious pair of comfortable shoes. Don't forget a big pair of sunglasses to hide those under-eye circles!
What are some of your go-to's for a wedding weekend away?
It is indeed wedding season, and wowza is it pricey haha. But so fun! I love all of your picks, especially that floral dress + accessories (all of which I've included in past shopping posts - great minds think alike?)! I absolutely love your taste and style :)
