Summer Wedding Guest Dresses

Desert Island emoji 26 items
I'm going to a summer wedding this year and it's time to begin my hunt for a classy stylish dress.  The wedding is going to be held in a beautiful botanical garden and then an indoor reception.  Finding the right dress that you feel appropriate wearing and is a complimentary color can sometimes be challenging.  Let's see what we can find!

Long Elegant Dresses

Choosing a long elegant dress for a wedding can be challenging.  The fabric and breathability factor is important.  Finding a complimentary color and style that enhances your features is helpful!

Cocktail Style Dresses

A cocktail dress is always flattering, in knee length for me.  I like a fitted style maybe with a little sheer bolero for elegance.  There are fitted cocktail dress styles as well as some flare designs with ruffles…

Choosing a Color Based on Skin Tone

Choosing your dress color based on your skin tone can enhance your natural features and also complement your skin tone.  We all know when a color doesn't look great on us or it makes us looked washed out or pasty.  Finding the right shades and colors is important especially at a special event like a wedding.

Fair Skin Tones look good in soft pastels like blush pink, lavender, soft blue… or cool tones like emerald green, sapphire blue… or warm hues like rose gold and champagne.
