A look at the Wedding Dress Code

Here is a simple description of some of the popular wedding dress codes which will hopefully make things clearer when deciding what to wear. 

Casual island/beach wedding:

• we suggest a cotton knee length or shorter dress (we love the ones available at THE ISLAND SHOP, TANGS), flat metallic sandals (So many to choose from at departmental shops) that you can take off easily in the sand. Here are some ideas from forever 21.

    

Formal Daytime/ Church Wedding/Tea Reception:

• Definitely a smart knee length dress or dressy suit separates with heels (we love jewel tones for the dresses to up the X factor). Here are some ideas from the trendy forever 21:

      

Formal / Black-Tie (for evening weddings):

We recommend cocktail dresses, dressy evening separates, dressy suits or long dresses, accompanied by heels, and wraps. Here are some options from the affordable forever 21:

       

Super Formal / White-Tie (The Epitome of Glamour!):

Only your best long ball gown, bling bling and highest heels will do. Hair is best styled up or left loose with structured curls. We love http://www.avanastyle.com/ for their glamourous gowns!

It's a Wrap! A look at Wrap Dresses

Diane von Furstenberg is a designer most recognised and internationally applauded for her signature wrap dresses.

She first entered the fashion world in 1972 with a suitcase full of jersey dresses. 

Two years later, she created the wrap dress, which came to symbolize power and independence for an entire generation of women. 

By 1976, she had sold over a million of the dresses and was featured on the cover of Newsweek!

Her DVF timeless wrap dresses mostly feature a cross-over v-neckline and a tie belt.
