Summer Wedding Guest Style


Summer stripes from Kate Spade.
I, like many of you, have several weddings to attend this summer as a guest. I love weddings- so much love, beauty, and fun. Not to mention, the excuse to buy a new party dress, So when my friend Liz asked us to do a post on summer wedding styles, I jumped at the chance. I mean, I have a wedding in NY in June that I need to be shopping for too :)
I love the timelessness and femininity of this dress by Thread.
There are so many adorable styles out there, I had trouble narrowing down the list. I know of course that more than just the level of formality affects how you chose your dress. Location (both the state/country and venue, time of day and temperature are all factors in your decision. I mean, remember my search for the black tie gown that I wrote about here and here? So what I have for your today is a wide range of options. That way, hopefully no matter when and where the wedding you are attending is, Tartan & Sequins has got you set. Happy shopping :)

Up first are the florals. I simply couldn't resist indulging in this hot trend. I just love the bursts of color and beautiful patterns in these floral options. I also love that, because the dress is such a show-stopper, you can keep it simple with the accessories.
Shoshanna Floral Dixie Dress - Rent the Runway, Shoshanna Garden Print Dress
Lilly Pulitzer May Flowers Dress - Rent the Runway, J.Crew Garden Floral Dress
Up next are the solids. Not just any solids, this summer's dresses come in lovely pops of colors. Changing up the accessories for different looks, I love the variety these options provide.
J.Crew Lemon Dress, Dallin Chase Matteo Dress, J.Crew Odessa Dress
And finally, we have the maxi dress. What I love about the maxi dress (aside from what I wrote about here, is that is can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. So you can pair it with wedges and wooden bangles for a more casual wedding or with fancy heels and chandelier earrings for a more formal event. Of course, not all maxis can do double duty, but the one with the right material, cut and pattern will.  And while none of these maxis are black tie, they come pretty darn close.

So what about you all? What will you all be rocking to this summer's festivities? Xo J
