southern babble: What to Wear: Wedding

Wedding season is upon us my friends and being a female I know it's always a slippery slope when it comes to picking an outfit for such an occasion. Constant rules and regulations going through our minds on what not to do and wear that we forget what we can do and wear. Here are 9 easy tips to remember when it comes to dressing for a wedding:

1.) Don't try to show up the bride, it's her day...not yours.

2.) Avoid wearing white, ivory, etc. You can do it for this one occasion, I believe in you.

3.) No sexy, skimpy clothing. Leave that for the weekends.

4.) Personally, I tend to stay with solids but if you go for patterns keep it on the softer side rather than the bolder side of things.

5.) I love denim, we all love denim...but not for weddings.

6.) It may be chilly out, bring a cardigan or a shawl but not a hoodie, I repeat, no hoodie.

7.) Be careful with the plunging necklines. But, don't even think about venturing into that territory without undergarments.
8.) Simple Beauty. Keep hair and makeup natural.
9.) Relax. All eyes will not be on you because it's not your day.

With all of that being said, that doesn't mean you still can't be fashionable. From afternoon to evening "I do's" here are some chic head-to-toe ensembles to help you stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.
