Wedding Wednesday: What To Wear To A Spring Soiree

{ Via: Megan Hess }

Have you ever been to a wedding and looked around to see men without jackets or ties and women in Sunday shifts?  If you are attending a beach wedding, that might be fine and good enough. Most wedding receptions, however, with sit down dinners and bridal parties in tuxedos, beg for some dressing up! I consider it respecting the occasion.  Here's a collection of chic choices for all budgets.
