With wedding season right up the alley, I personally have a lot of weddings to attend to (some friends, some family) and in the past it's always been a hassle for me to figure out what to wear based on the theme. I think I'm finally at a point where I've perfected each theme to a T, so this is my way of giving back!! I know how hard it can be to find a nice dress and sometimes even find one last minute. So here is a run down of my favorite guest outfits for a black tie theme wedding.
I've gathered all my favorite wedding decor ideas in one place — from stunning ceremony arches to the sweetest cake toppers and centerpieces! Whether you're going rustic, modern, or totally romantic, I hope these finds inspire you and help make your day feel like you.
