Style guides: Dressing for a wedding

The perfect day for a perfect couple!

It is safe to say we have had a fair few weddings this summer, seven to be exact. Three of which my attire was already chosen for me as I had the honor of standing by some of my closest friends & new sister as they married some fabulous guys.

I have included two of the three bridesmaid dresses as we already had the professional pictures back, can't wait to see my friend Jen's pictures, she was a stunning bride!

However the other five have proven to be pretty stressful as to what to wear. I think with the practice from this Summer's events have given me a good guideline of what attire works for various settings.

In September we had a wedding downtown in Boston which was "formal" attire. It was at a really beautiful hotel where I went for a more classic look, a black lace Maggy London dress, my favorite L.K. Bennett Sledge pumps and a red lip! Given the weather that weekend, unmarked humidity in the city for this time of year, I went for a low bun with lots of volume, low maintenance & chic!

As the wedding season winds down we have one coming up this weekend in Maine, which I am so excited about!  Maine is beautiful all year, but especially in October.  I can't wait for the scenic ride up there and of course the festivities!

The weather for this weekend is proving to be a bit of a challenge based on what is already in my closet, so I am headed out today to find a dress that will work for the weather as well as being stylish and venue appropriate! I will also be shopping for another wedding we have coming up in a few weeks that is closing out the season!

Here are a few looks I love and will be keeping in mind while shopping. Make sure to keep an eye out for some Instagram shots of the weekend :)
