admin — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 21:52:58 +0000

We are officially in wedding season, our Instagram and Facebook feeds are spewing with pics from gorgeous brides in their white dresses, DIY decor, beautiful cakes, the list goes on. Watching happy couples exchange their vows on a day they’ll never forget is the perfect excuse for playing dress up. And now that the Supreme Court has finally legalized same sex marriage we have even more love to celebrate! For those of you who are attending a wedding(s) this season and are in need of some styling advice, I have compiled a quick guide on Wedding Guest Dress Code. I used Rent the Runway to help find my perfect dresses. They are so efficient and easy to use with endless options to for any occasion choose from – whether it be a black tie formal event or a beach wedding in the Bahamas, there is something for everyone. With weddings coming and going, buying a dress for every occasion just doesn’t make sense – that and I don’t any more room in my closet to squeeze even a t-shirt, so this service is everything. Let’s break down the main Wedding Guest Dress Codes by cutting the corners and decoding the different dress codes. […]

Funny story, last month my husband showed up to a black-tie wedding wearing a khaki linen suit.. Apparently I had forgotten to read the fine print on the bottom of the wedding invitation and he wasn’t too happy with me but after handing him a few whiskeys from the open bar, he seemed to care a lot less. After our epic failure and having received a few similar questions from readers, we wanted to help clarify the many misunderstood wedding dress codes out there and who better to help us with this task then a wedding expert? Meet Laura Ritchie, not only our fabulous sorority sister, but also the Founder of Events in the City. She’s the go to girl when you are looking to plan your dream wedding. Laura and her team have crafted a well deserved reputation for throwing some of the best and most creative events all over town because of their style, diverse backgrounds in fashion, film, hotels, catering, project management and their miticulous attention to detail.
