Get Dressed!

Getting married calls not only for one HUGE dress you will forever savor in your memory- but a ton of other outfit needs. There are so many events: Engagement parties, Welcome Dinner, Rehearsal Dinner, Bridal Shower (Showers...), Bachelorette Dinners or Parties, and perhaps even a Day After Brunch.

I picked a few of my favorite looks for summer weddings that work at all these events- for budget babes, like yourselves:


Girly Bird Dress, $98



Ruffle Dress, $20


Halftone Honey Dress, $70

Hello Wedding Season! Boy did you sneak up fast....
Looking ahead to all the beautiful colors, and flowers of the season

Wondering what flowers work great for your summer wedding? Consider these

June Wedding: Lucky you! Peonies are in season (such a short season, such a pretty flower!), daisies, anemones (a personal fav.), freesia, gerbera daises, roses, dahlias

July Wedding: Go tropical: flowers like Birds of Paradise abound. Or try: orchids, calla lilies, freesia, garden roses (see: David Austin), bulk it up with greens




August wedding: Be wary of delicate blooms that will wilt quickly this month. Try hardy flowers like dahlias, lilies, babys breath, chrysanthemum. Hydrangeas work too, just be sure they are kept in water so they don't wilt.
