Oh, wedding season! The time when we all frantically search our closets for something that doesn’t scream “I’ve worn this to the last three weddings!” Fear not, my fellow guest-zillas, I’ve got you covered with 25 fabulous outfit ideas that’ll make you the talk of the reception (in a good way, not in a “she wore white to my wedding” way).
As someone who’s been to more weddings than I can count (seriously, I should start a professional wedding guest service), I’ve seen it all. From the good, the bad, to the “Oh honey, what were you thinking?” So, I’ve teamed up with some fashion gurus to bring you a list that’ll make you look like you’ve got your life together (even if you don’t).
