One night while we were in Mexico we walked on the beach past three weddings in various stages of preparation (set up – rehearsal – ceremony) and the following night a wedding was held at our hotel, and the hotel next door.
It is wedding season, and you are likely invited to one, somewhere.
After slipping that RSVP card into the mail, you might want to think about what to wear.
Is the wedding at a far off tropical destination, where the mood is tiki torch, hurricane candles and a mojito? (Invite me too, please!) Go full of color, light fabrics and manageable footwear!

Okay, let’s be reasonable, the dress you wear isn’t the most important dress of the day, and in fairness it really shouldn’t be. However, I do think that as a guest it is your responsibility to rise to the occasion, without outshining anyone, and be festive and fabulous for your loved one’s special day.
