Since returning to Punta Cana, I’ve gone through a whirlwind of beautiful memories of not only my own wedding, but of those of my friends and this got me to thinking of all the outfits, summer dresses, Fall parties and so much more. When it comes to weddings, you want to make sure you’re dressing stylish, but not to upstage the bride on her day. There are certain unspoken rules that you should abide by, even if the bridal party doesn’t say so themselves.
On our wedding anniversary, I ended up wearing this beautiful dress from Zimmermann. I love the ruffle and bardot sleeve of the dress. When it comes to weddings, I like to lean more on the elegant side with a touch of flirtiness (and admittedly, I have made my own major fashion faux pas years ago when I was a guest myself). When it’s too sexy or too similar in color or cut to the bride or bridal party, you can get the kind of attention that you don’t want. Since I’ve been eyeing tons of dresses from American, French, Italian, Australian, English and various other designers from the luxury category, I’ve pulled together some great pieces that are now on sale that would be perfect for a fabulous celebration like a wedding, gorgeous event, party, or as I always like to say, just because you deserve to look and feel incredible.
In ths post, I’m wearing the Zimmermann dress, Gucci statement mules, vintage Fendi bag. I’ve linked some of my favourite pieces for the summer.

You are completely right about dressing appropriately to the situation. I once attended a wedding where one of the guests wore a long, white dress. I was invited as a plus one and for a minute there I was convinced it’s a bride! Truly terrible, when I finally noticed the bride even I felt awkward. Great tips and nice selection.

Some brides do not mind when you wear a white dress, but if it’s long and dressy, it can be a bit awkward for the plus 1’s who don’t know who the bride is. haha. I’m glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks so much. Have a great week Dorota!

That is a great dress for traveling to a tropical climate. I am all over the ruffle trend and bought two ruffle dresses, a ruffle top AND a ruffle top. Your trip looked wonderful. Are you going to Paris for FW? I think I am. If you are maybe we can meet up.
