I know a lot of you have been going to/ will be going to a lot of weddings this year and so I thought I’d put together a few of my favorite looks for various types of weddings- black tie/formal and day/ less formal. Some of the items are a tad expensive, so always check Rent the Runway for dresses you’ve fallen in love with but can’t afford. I’m using them to maybe rent an Herve Leger (i.e. will need to not eat for a week) for my birthday party so I can see what they are all about (full body Spanx or ridiculously unflattering- we’ll see!) Truly a great option for formal events, and such great service!
I am totally obsessed with my pick for the long dresses on both. That boho one might need to find it’s way into my closet, although I’d tie the neck a little tighter to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions!

I love rent the runway but so far have only tried renting the accessories. I’m dying to try one of the Herve Leger dresses, where else would they be so affordable?!
That navy striped dress is so gorgeous! I wish I had a day wedding to attend. Do you think my friend will move her wedding if I tell her I have a day dress I want to wear? That’s reasonable, right?
Totally in love with the whole Navy combo, but dying for the earrings! Gorgeous!
This site is wonderful! I had no idea it existed. I would die to wear a Herve Leger dress, but i would probably be terrified of ruining it the whole time.
Ps. if you’re in the market for Spanx, Nordstroms is having a great anniversary sale on them! I just picked up a slip!
I love that blue asymetrical with gold accessories! You just gave me my outfit for a wedding I have to go to this fall. Thanks!!!!
I really love the earrings in the long blue dress portion. :)
That long blue Malandrino is INSANE!!!
Great ideas for dressing up. And thanks for including a lot of brands I can also shop in Europe.
My mom tried on that catherine malendrino dress yesterday! Its phenomenal in person!!!!
