How To Stand Out At A Summer Wedding
partner
Just because a wedding day is all about the bride (as it should be)
doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your own personal style.
Below are a few ideas to make all those weddings in your calendar
an opportunity for some stand-out style. My only rule is stay
away from white..I mean, it's only fair.
1) Wear a long, chiffon printed dress. A maxi dress is the
perfect look for this season of summer weddings. It's flowing
shape is fitting for a day focused on romance. Stand out from the
crowd in bold peacock-inspired prints that perfectly show off your
hard-earned tan.

2) Wear neutral layers of ruffles. A ruffle is a
classic romantic nod and what girl doesn't love to twirl on the
dance floor in a frou-frou dress. The key is not looking like a
cupcake. Wear a ruffled dress in neutral hues and a belt at the
waist for a sophisticated, steam-lined look.

3) Wear a floral headband. To add major style to even your
most basic dress, opt for a fun, romantic headband. Look for tulle
and floral elements to keep your look in tune with the event.

What do you wear to weddings to stand out, but without stealing the
bride's thunder?

I agree with Mrs. B. But nonetheless, people still do it. I haven't been to a wedding in a long time, but somehow I think either of these dresses (can't BELIEVE they even put the headband thing in...well, maybe for an LA wedding that would work because EVERYTHING they do out there is to upstage everyone else), would really be appropriate. It used to just KILL me when people would wear jeans or shorts to a wedding (especially when it's in a church and/or not specified as a casual/outdoor wedding). I think that's just disrespectful and shows zero class.

That headband reminds me of my daughter's ballerina Halloween costume she wore in 1998. She was 15 months old.
Why the need to "stand out" on someone else's big day? Can't stand letting another woman (the bride) get all the attention for an afternoon or evening?
