Getting ready for a wedding is stressful for us ladies. Do we wear a ball gown, an evening gown, or a cocktail dress? What is an appropriate amount of skin to show? What colours are we allowed to wear?
Not only have I worked at a wedding magazine before, but I’ve also been to enough weddings to consider it field work. I’ve learned what colours are trending and which are taboo to wear. I’ve mastered the art of picking flattering outfits without being too revealing.
So get wedding-ready with me! Whether you’re a Wallflower, a Fashionista, or a Sophisticate, I’ve put together 2 looks for each that take you from the ceremony to the reception with ease.
The Wallflower
The Ceremony
Ceremonies are less luxe than the actual reception, so go for something that is easy and breezy like this peach floral dress from Wilfred. This light and soft dress is perfect the Wallflower, with its subtle floral pattern. This dress synches in right where you’re the smallest— your waist! It emphasizes your natural curves, and hides any tummy you may be self conscious about.
I added a pop of pink lipstick with a gorgeous berry tone. This will give you a bit of flare without being too bright. Fine gold jewellery help to complete the look.

The Reception
A gorgeous solid colour wrap dress is classic and gives a subtle touch of panache and sex appeal; the perfect night time look for a Wallflower. This gown again synches in at the waist for a flattering look.
Finish the look off with a classic clutch like, this Louis Vuitton bag, and an elegant statement necklace. If you are uncomfortable with cleavage, simply wear a bandeau in black, or a similar colour to your dress to match.

The Sophisticate
The Ceremony
The Sophisticate knows that rich tones like navy add a gorgeous amount of flare. A cute cocktail dress with a lightly ruffled skirt and collar are perfect for a ceremony. A dainty statement necklace with gold and crystal shards adds a fashionable touch to the overall look.

The Reception
Wearing the exact same jewellery pieces, The Sophisticate transforms effortlessly into a floor length navy, all over-lace gown. This dress wraps your curves beautifully, while cinching you in at your tiniest with a tiny ribbon accent. I’m actually wearing a shaper corset with a strapless-bra in this picture to help smooth out my curves. Finish off the look with a gorgeous sparkly evening bag.

The Fashionista
The Ceremony
The Fashionista is fun, and isn’t afraid of to be vibrant. For the ceremony, a sheath dress with bright floral embroidery and fun sleeves, will bring life to your outfit. Bell sleeves that start at your elbow are so easy to wear, and add a hint of drama without getting in your way.
A pop of teal eye shadow, and a sparkly unicorn bag add a touch more of amazingness to your look.
Get The Look: Floral Dress • RW&C0, Unicorn Bag • The Store On Queen, Contour & Strobe Lip Set in Trophy Wife • HUDA BEAUTY
The Reception
A dramatic v-neck gown with pleated skirts take The Fashionista from day to night in an instant.
Sparkly fine jewellery pieces, glittery lips, and teal shadow from the ceremony look bring a flirty touch to the look.
