Invited to a Spring wedding … what to wear?

A girlfriend called me at this evening and was super excited that her college friends’ wedding is almost here – in two weeks!  But help, she doesn’t know what to wear.

I told her when deciding what to wear to a Spring wedding think of a way to have glitz & glam with color.  If you plan to wear a royal purple sheath dress pair it with fuschia peep toe pumps and a clutch and finish off with wooden bangles – perfect!

First I would start with a dress, of course!  If you start with a chic dress yet a simple shift dress spices it up with a captivating look. Girlfriends get into the mix with an affordable and chic dress and add accessories in jewel or wooden tones.

As I told her one of the season’s standout trends is the profusion of eye-popping colors, for a Spring wedding all you have to do is follow in the stylish footsteps of these suggestions. Bring intense magenta into the bright shade with individual pieces. Such as wearing a double dip of accessories with the dress. My favorite version of this look comes in mustard yellow, pewter gold or royal purple.

Adorable with dresses or denim, these Tiered Peep Toe Platforms feature a tiered fabric construction, peep toe and 4″ stiletto heel. Paint the “town and the wedding” red in this sexy fashion forward sandal.  Or a dreamy pair of high-heeled sandals. These feminine satin heels are perfect for that special occasion.  Bold babes only–step to this hot slingback from Chinese Laundry, this style also has the confident heel and pert platform to put you heads above the crowd.

When she asked about accessories, I told her try three strands of pearly purple shell with embossed metal beads, rosy frosted glass, and acrylic accents–all floating in tonal harmony on barely-three illusion wire.  If she’s planning to wear a deep pink dress top off your classy-chic look with a multiple faux pearl strand necklace.  Like bands of cloud backlit by the sun, these strands of peach facets warm vacant horizons – like those above strapless dresses.

Well after spending a few hours with her and going through her closet, I’m done!  She decided on a Spring wedding outfit similar to this collaboration!
