-
Black Tie

Destination Wedding
Like the location of the wedding, your dress should be just as relaxed. Bright colors are a must, and as for length, short is really the way to go, especially during the summer. Accessorize similarly—think matching wedges and an embellished clutch.
-
City Chic
If you are heading to a city wedding where the guests and overall theme are as edgy and modern as any wedding can get, then think out of the box when considering your outfit. What works? A strapless leather gown, a bustier-style frock, and of course plenty of black. Keep it wedding-appropriate by adding diamond (fake or real) bracelets, red lips and a pretty up-do.

Garden Party
Keep the garden theme going by wearing a pretty floral dress. Lucky for you, spring fashion means you have plenty of options to choose from. However, if sweet isn't really your look, you can toughen up the florals by incorporating edgy accessories, like a black studded belt and sky-high open-toe booties.

Beach Attire
Wear this sky-blue maxi dress at the shore as you watch the romantic couple say their vows. From the color to the relaxed fit, everything about this dress screams a beach wedding. Because it's a full length dress, keep it beachy by opting for flat gold gladiator sandals, and a flower or two on your hair.
-
Cocktail Hour
If the wedding dujour has a cocktail theme, keep it short and flirty by going for a bedazzled and beautiful look. In this instance, embellishments like crystals and feathers are key, as are strong royal colors like emerald, sapphire and the always hot choice, ruby-toned. Another great reason to go with a short dress is that you have an excuse to go all out with your shoes, as you will be clearly showing them off.

Country Club
More casual but just as polished, a country club wedding calls for a fun and preppy look. Consider colorful shifts, geometric-patterned A-Line dresses or a sleeveless embellished dress. Pair with nude heels, a statement clutch and perhaps even a glamorous Kate Middleton-style hat.
