Spring Wedding- what to wear?

Chic · Marc Jacobs

Have you checked out J.Crew's sale? They have an adorable strapless dress that is called cotton cady, and it is a couple of pink-melon colors! Then I would wear some neutral stappy heels and a fun necklace, maybe quartz like? I think you would fit in perfect, but not too casual. HTH!

I agree w/Chic - a nice sundress/lighter cocktail dress, strappy sandals, and a pretty necklace and you'll be all set!

I was concerned about wearing something summer-y so soon, but you guys think its ok?

I love the color. :)

Elle · Hermes

I think that outfit would be super cute! If you want, you could aways go with a peep toe shoe and add some nude fishnets and a little cardi too .

where is the wedding? b/c that could be a factor too -- if it's in the south or some place where it's pretty warm in april, then any summer stuff would be totally fine.

if it's not, then i would just add a cardi or wrap to one of these cute dresses. and peep toes shoes is a great idea to make it more spring and casual.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I am really ready for it to be hot so everything that I suggest might not actually be apporiate for the weather!

I am also in the south so it does get hotter here sooner.

I do think the color would be fine for the occasion but I would do a different shoe than I selected. Maybe just add a wrap for some more color or you could do black and then black shoes. HTH!

Thanks for all of the advice. JCrew has some great dresses are are totally the right idea. Not too dressy, but not too casual plus something I can wear all Summer.

What do you think of these? What about the color, is brown too drab for the wedding? Its going to be in Michigan and in April that could mean cloudy and drizzly OR balmy and partly cloudy. Its really hit or miss on the weather. Its just a wedding reception since they're getting married in the Bahamas so from what she's told me its very non-traditional and casual. What do you think of these?

i like the jcrew one best because it's so versitile. you can wear it a million times and make it different every time with accessories and shoes. it would also be easy to put a cardi or wrap over if it's cold out (while it might be hard to find something to put over some of the others.)

i like it in brown -- don't think it's too drab at all.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I love Brown...just pair it with another color to brighten it and you will look fab!
