reader question: what to wear to summer weddings!

A few of the emails I got were requests for questions like "what to wear to a summer wedding?"... here are three:

Analia asks...

I was wondering if you could help me out to figure it out what to wear for a picnic wedding at a state park in NC. Any clues?

I have a challenge! I'm attending a wedding on the beach where it will be very hot and humid, and it's practically a high school reunion so I have to look great! 

And finally, Anna has even ME (almost) stumped with this one...

In October, I will be attending and singing at my first ever… Harley Davidson wedding. The couple love motorcycles and are having the ceremony in the Harley Davidson store in Southern Maryland. As a girl who owns no leather, has never owned a motorcycle or any clothing resembling a biker, I am stumped. Normally for weddings I would wear a cute dress and heels, especially if I’m singing for the ceremony. However, the bride will not even be wearing a dress, but something in white leather. They have suggested jeans, but that just seems so wrong for a wedding.


It's great to have a classic dress or two on hand for attending weddings. I personally love this style from J.Crew (I actually own a very similar silhouette from a few years back).  This silhouette will never go out of style, is universally flattering and makes a perfect back-drop for any type of accessory.  Here I showcased the same dress in three different colors and styled three different ways.

STATE PARK WEDDING
(key points: fun & a bit frivolous)


BEACH WEDDING
(key points: light colors and hat to keep cool & beach tones)


HARLEY WEDDING
(key points: simple black dress & some edgy choices to keep on theme)
