What to Wear to a Summer Wedding
girl about t.o.: wedding guest dresses under $200 canada
(Jul.15.11)
It’s the season of frozen yogurt, poolside style, beach breaks and all around summer fun.
It’s also the season of weddings – and lots of ‘em. Everyone I know seems to have at least two to attend, which means lots of opportunities to dress up while still trying to stay cool. (Without breaking the bank.)
Just be sure to keep the tissues handy (I’ve yet to make it through a ceremony without welling up – even if I’m just the plus one).

This sweet silk style (with a deep v back) offers the perfect opportunity to play with accessories. Bright sandals (wedges if you’re going to be on grass), a cute clutch and chunky jewellery would all make my list.

Brighten up with something a little louder. The belt cinches your waist while the flowy fabric is a perfect way to beat the heat. Add a little cardigan or wrap for the ceremony and shoes you can dance the night away in.

A print is a great option since you can choose to highlight different elements of it each time to always feel like your outfit is fresh. This bold floral has all kinds of great colours to call out and enough interesting details to stand on its own that it’s definitely ready for repeat wears.
Gap asymmetrical print dress, $75. Available at gapcanada.ca.
