The Dress
When choosing occassion dresses to wear to a wedding, opt for a neutral shade that will work well
with different accessories. A tope or navy shift dress is ideal and pastel shades, such as mint green
and peach are also great options which are bang on trend for 2012. Make sure you feel comfortable
in whatever dress you choose and try and buy something you can wear again.

Once you’ve chosen your basic dress you need to make it look completely unique by accessorising
carefully. Think about the type of wedding you are attending and pick your accessories accordingly:

Smart weddings: team your shift dress with a matching blazer and choose court shoes, belt and
necklace in a contrasting colour. A fascinator is great if you’re not a fan of hats and will add that
extra touch of glamour.

City weddings: keep your look as subtle as possible with minimal accessories in pale pastels. For a
super stylish, 1950s look, wear with formal gloves that stop at the wrist.

Modern wedding: dress your shift dress up with an animal print scarf, clutch bag and shoes. Wear

Wedding after party: if you’re only attending the evening party of a wedding, then dress your outfit
with chunky gold accessories and a gold belt. Give your hair a makeover with an Audrey Hepburn
inspired ‘up’ do and don sky-high heels which will give your legs an instant boost. Don’t forget to
take some matching flats with you to walk home in after a night of dancing and celebrating.
