Which is why planning your look around the type of wedding you're attending will make all the difference. Knowing the setting and locale is crucial when it comes to selecting the proper style and the appropriate shoes. Scroll on to find the ideal fun and fancy ensemble for trendy wedding settings.
Beachside
Beachside: Sand, salt, and surf will be the sunkissed locale and you should definitely dress accordingly. Swap out the stilettos for sandals and rock a flowy dress that features striking colors and/or patterns. Complete this beachy look with seashell studs and the perfect straw bag.

Black Tie: Pop the champagne and enjoy the good life when you score an invite to a formal nuptial soiree. Go all out in ultra special monochromatic pieces that feature rich texture and just the right amount of flair. Add some statement earrings, pearls, and those brand new kitten heels and you're ready to party in impressively snazzy style.
Destination: Probably one of our favorite types of celebrations to attend — destination weddings are all kinds of wanderlust wonderful. Choose a dress or jumpsuit that doesn't wrinkle, can hold up to unexpected weather, and that matches the vibe of your locale. Be sure to pack lightweight yet refined shoes, a clutch, and some funky boho gems — or be spontaneous and find some authentic accessories when you arrive!
Rustic Farmhouse: It's time for a country shindig decorated with mason jars, succulents, and burlap everything, baby! Opt for a patterned get-up like a vintage floral, polka dot, or a Venetian lace dress. Consider leaving the spike heal at home and wear a block heel, retro platform or ballerina flat to better navigate grass and gravel. Finish the farmhouse look with a colorful purse, a faux fur stole, and a gold coin pendant necklace.
Vineyard View: Oh sweet berry wine, how we love you so — especially when it comes to imbibing locally grown blends at gorgeous winery weddings. And if you're all about the 'gram then you'll love finding the ideal frock for this lush, green setting. Channel your grape goddess with whimsical dresses, fabulous footwear, and playful accessories. Salut!
