Wedding season

The start of summer is, amongst other things, the preferred wedding season, which is upon us – and I’m sure for many of you has already started. With it, come the incessantly search for the perfect outfit, fashion pinning and make-up and skin worrying. This season, for the first time, I’m attending two weddings that are right around the corner. The second one, towards the end of the season, is from one of my best and oldest friends, I can’t hardly contain how happy I am for her.

With so many things to choose from, I decided to create mood boards with all the details concerning an outfit to help me break down possible choices. I realize most of us are on a budget, so I always consider a less expensive option, but in my opinion, tackle the items you can/want to splurge and the one’s you can save a few bucks on.

1. Long Dress with Chain Neckline and Strappy High Heel Sandals from Zara, Radà Crystal Drop Earrings from Club Monaco or Elizabeth Deco Stud Earrings from Accessorize, Milla Embossed Metallic Clutch from Jimmy Choo or Holographic Box Clutch from Accessorize, Nautical Silk Hankerchief from Massimo Dutti and Greta Gold Tone Ring from Chloé or Enamel Rings from Accessorize.

The first ensemble is clearly a very romantic one. The colors are perfect for a beach wedding where you can surely blend with the overall shades. This dress from Zara is very elegant and simple, which is perfect so you can go all out with the accessories. The neckline calls for a romantic braided crown to intensify that romantic feel. Always consider a shawl or scarf in case the wedding is held in a church.

2. Structured Lace Skater Dress from Topshop, Embellished Floral Print Sandals from Dolce & Gabbana or High Heel Shiny Sandals from Zara, Orecchini Oxidized Sterling Silves Earrings from Bottega Veneta or Simple Crystal Stud Earrings from Accessorize, Rockstud Leather Clutch from Valentino or Grab Handle Clutch Bag from Accessorize and Plain Foulard from Massimo Dutti.

This classic lace dress is highly wedding-y. Pair it with a fun pair of patterned or golden sandals (if you’re on a budget). Both clutch options have a handle so you don’t have to worry about bringing a strap or having to carry the bag on your shoulder or arm. Given that you’re showing a little bit of leg, you can let your hair down with some loose or beach waves to structure your whole ensemble.

3. Cutout Crepe Jumpsuit from Halston Heritage, Casanovella 120 Fringed Leather Sandals from Christian Louboutin or Leather High Heel Sandal from Zara, Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner from Bobbi Brown, Monogramed Quilted Textured Leather Shoulder Bag from YSL or Glitter Asymmetric Clutch from Accessorize, 100% Cashmere Foulard from Massimo Dutti.

Last but not least, if you are a risk taker, opt for a jumpsuit that will elongate your figure and give that chic and sexy touch. This one has the perfect cut right on the waist line giving you an edgy feel. Pair it with a bold pair of shoes and the perfect eye cat to make your eyes pop. The neutral color of the jumpsuit allows you to play with the accessories or just go for the classic black ones. To make you look even leaner, try a messy up-do.
