Destination weddings are becoming more and more common. The special thing about them is that there's not as much of a pressure in looking so formal. Destination weddings are all about feeling pretty, light and dainty. So here goes...
Navy and blush is one of those wedding guest combinations that never misses. A navy off-the-shoulder gown brings timeless elegance, while blush satin heels and pearl-drop earrings soften the look with a romantic finish. Add a neutral pashmina for outdoor ceremonies and a beaded clutch for just enough sparkle, and suddenly you look like you absolutely understood the assignment. This formula works for vineyard weddings, rooftop receptions, formal garden ceremonies, and those black-tie-optional invitations where everyone secretly goes full glam. Classic, flattering, and impossible to regret later when the photos come back. For the full styling breakdown and more wedding guest outfit formulas, visit Jersey Girl Glam. (jerseygirlglam.com)

With how saturated the wedding market is, I highly recommend going out of your way to support local and small business owners and contractors!
