What to Wear to Summer Weddings, Cocktails, Soirees, and Showers

With the arrival of June comes many a summer soiree to celebrate the nuptials of friends or family, including a mailbox flooded full of pristine invitations waiting for you to check yes or no. With an RSVP comes the most important question in a girl’s mind, what to wear? No matter if you’re the bride, a bridesmaid, or simply a guest, we scoped out our favorite Queen City shops to find all the must-have dresses and accessories to complete your party perfect look. Find comfort in a beautiful maxi dress to shower the bride-to-be, or add a splash of color to a destination wedding. From black-tie affairs to beach ceremonies and everything in between, we’ve got you covered from head to toe. But let’s be honest, everyone will be looking at the beautiful bride anyways!
