Silk chiffon makes for good dancing. Love the ombre effect of the fabric and the long sleeves. I would, however, style it with different shoes.

Pink silk never gets old, especially when  it comes in the form of a classic look like this. This season blazers are trending in a major way. This outfit is all at once elegant and feminine. Perfect for the girl who loves sleeves. Best yet, both pieces are on sale.

Wedding Dress Codes: What To Wear For Every Type Of Event

 

You’ve saved the date. Now it's time find your wedding guest look. Getting dressed for a wedding is one of my favorite things to do. It's exciting because you are likely to see old friends and family. Dressing up is always a sign of respect to your hosts, the bride and groom, and the occasion. This pretty post will put you on the best dressed guest list for any type of wedding.

 

~ Black Tie & Black Tie Optional ~

Personally, I wear just about the same type of dress/pants to each one of these kind of weddings. Mr. Shop This always opts for a tuxedo, and we like to dress with the same vibe. These dress codes call for a very dressy look, and always means a tie for a man.

Zimmermann Rhythmic Skirt

The most expensive of the edit, and of course, my favorite. Everything about the look is such a modern way to be formal. I would so wear this.

Zimmermann or Moda Operandi

Theia Couture Gail Dress

Captivating florals create a spring and summer look perfect for cocktails and weddings.

Neiman Marcus (on sale)  or Saks

Solace London Ziya Maxi

The highlight of this dress is the diaphanous organza sleeves. Price is relative, but I do think that this style looks more expensive than it is.

Net-a-Porter

Two-Tone Sequin Column Gown

Pastel pretty! You'll shine all night long in this gorgeous gown.

Neiman Marcus

Fleur of Dreams 

Sheer and gauzy, this fab floral is a budget buy coming in just under $100. 

Lulus

~ Cocktail Chic ~

Cocktail attire is a bit wide in interpretation. Most likely your event is after 5PM. If it is just cocktails without dinner or dancing, one can be a bit more casual. If all of the above is included, then feel free to dress up.

Raegan Jumpsuit

The perfect jumpsuit! It's understated yet ready to party. I would add a little sparkle to my wrist and ears just to elevate the look

Halston

The Rani
A classic tea length party dress. You could imagine Audry Hepburn or Grace Kelly wearing it, as easily as you could yourself. The shell pink is stunning.

Sachin & Babi

Halpern Ombré Sequined Midi 

One of my favorites of the edit. It's just so cocktail chic.

Moda Operandi

Self Portrait Polka Dot Dress
Effortless with delicious details. Those tulle sleeves are something!

Self-Portrait

Andrea Iyamah Midi Sheath

This stunning sheath is perfectly nipped and tailored. The color green is wonderful!

Moda Operandi

~ Beach Chic ~

You will want to wear something cool and comfortable. Maxi's and midis are a chic choice because sandals work perfectly with most of them. Leave the sequins and daisy dukes at home.

Beach party perfection! It's sold out at Saks and Tory Burch, but Neiman's has it in all sizes.

Crafted in organic cotton, you will be as cool as the sea breeze in this beach chic maxi.

Sunset service? You are all set. You will be the most comfortable guest in this caftan-like maxi. Beach chic for sure.

Hellessy Skirt & Top

This outfit can really fit into most types of weddings. It's a bit pricey but oh so lovely. If you are packing for a destination wedding, the top is also great with jeans or other pants.

Shopbop

Farm Rio Monstera Jumpsuit

Heading to the tropics? This linen jumpsuit is party perfect. 

Saks  or  Anthropologie

~ Upscale Casual ~

I heard this term on television today. Anytime I hear the word casual, it worries me. So let's concentrate on the word "upscale."  A good interpretation would be something better than you would wear everyday. It's likely a daytime event, so no rhinestones. Jackets without a tie for gentlemen. And certainly no jeans, unless it is a barn wedding.

Cloud Burst Midi

What a radiant and elevated day look! Created from a linen blend, and it is just lovely. 

Moda Operandi

V. Chapman Lily Dress

The perfect balance of playful and sophistication. And who doesn't feel pretty in pink?

Anthropologie

Lysette Dress
Chic and sophisticated. This fresh squeezed style is lovely for so many events.

Ted Baker.  or Nordstrom

Larkyn Dress
Love the pop of color in this  crisp cotton  dress. You will wear this style over and over.

Shopbop

Sachin & Babi Jacqueline Maxi

For some, this dress would be an evening look. It's beautiful in cotton, but not a formal at all. I think it is perfect for an afternoon wedding. Loving the black tassels paired with the navy dress.
