Tis the season – for weddings, parties, rehearsal dinners, garden parties… need I go on? I always end up buying at least a dress or two from Shopbop… because let’s be serious – they are the go-to for party frocks! And with that, a few of my wedding do’s and don’ts… do choose a style with a bit of ruching or give in the waist. You’ll be eating, dancing, drinking all night – you want to be comfortable! don’t wear white or even cream. blush is fine. do choose a bright color – you’re celebrating! don’t forget to pack a pashmina or cardigan – you’ll be thankful later in the evening. do punch up a black dress with jewel tone accessories… and lastly, don’t dress like a bridesmaid – do your homework and find out what color they are wearing!

These are great tips for dressing for a wedding! My favorite pick above would be the blush strapless dress- so perfectly girly 🙂
So many adorable options here and it’s SO true about having some rouching so you can do some dancing, eating, etc and still be comfortable!
stunning…I love the Tibi pink dress…I’ve been eyeing it personally =)

all those choices are gorgeous but i am partial to one shoulders – that navy bcbg one is amazing!

I’ve looked at so many of those dresses at shopbop. I can picture myself in many of those frocks this summer.
