3 Dresses to Wear to a Spring Wedding

GLAMOROUS & GUILT-FREE

Dressing up is more than just the physicality that meets the eye. It’s the feeling a woman gets when she slips on a brand new outfit and dresses to confidently take on the day. I believe you should look and feel good while taking on the many roles we play as modern women in the year 2020. This includes dressing glamorous and feeling guilt-free about being so for all of life’s special occasions.

As Spring Wedding Season is upon us, take dressing to attend a Wedding for instance. As Southern women, our internal dialogue when dressing for such occasion can feel somewhat internally conflicting. We want to keep a simple and elegant approach to our ensemble to respect and appeal to the Bride and hosts, yet as women, we all want to feel beautiful and like the best version of ourselves when seeing old friends and out for a romantic night with our husband (or date) in celebration of love. So in the spirit of Spring Wedding Season and Marriage, here are three examples of how you can marry the two sides of this dilemma, with three different styled looks, perfect for a Spring Wedding.

1. Floral Feminine Frill – for The Formal Affair

Go for a long, pastel floral pattern with feminine details like this gorgeous Shelby dress by Gal Meets Glam available exclusively at Nordstrom.

A dress this gorgeous deserves a moment. It is adorned with feminine frill across the shoulders and neck line, while balanced and soft with a mauve-rose like floral pattern. These elements make it just enough to give yourself that wow moment just before you dash out the door, boosting your confidence to engage with all of those old friends from college and long time family friends, yet understated enough to portray a sense of mature elegance when entering the room. Pair with a handwoven straw bag, perfect for gathering around cocktail tables in the garden.
