Wedding style with Weddington Way

I think it is fair to say that I have been a part of a fair few weddings in my day- from planning my own to being a bridesmaid a time or ten, I have a good handle on the process! However with our family and loved ones spread across the globe it can really make planning and keeping people involved a challenge. I was recently inspired by a company called Weddington Way to showcase some of their beautiful bridesmaid & special occasion dresses in a virtual show room the idea resonated with me!

A little bit about the company from them: Weddington Way is a collaborative shopping experience for wedding parties. At Weddington Way, bridal parties can browse the largest assortment of bridal party fashion available online and share and discuss products in a virtual showroom. By offering a collaborative experience, personalization, and its namesake line of ready-to-wear dresses, Weddington Way is differentiated from anything else that exists in wedding, e-commerce or retail. Our aim is to have many pictures of millennial bridal parties dressed by us in our grand wedding album. 

You can find their great selection of bridesmaid dresses here and don't forget to check out their new tuxedo rentals

Weddington way just took it one step further, now you can use the Groom Shop to style your leading man as well! Here are a two looks I put together that I just loved!

I love this combination of a traditional 3 piece Michael Kors tux paired with a soft feminine dress by Dove & Dahlia. Bonus: it has pockets- perfect place to keep that perfect YSL nude lip stain for the whole day! 

P.S. I might actually need to order this dress in navy perfect wedding guest look!

Now picture a more casual affair, maybe a beach side wedding, on the Cape or MV. The dress is elegant with a preppy undertone and your groom & his men are casual, comfortable and still chic! 

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 :)
