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.

These are all of my favorites that I purchased for our September 2023 wedding!
