Flowing champagne, a raucous group dance to the Cha Cha Slide, and a chance to get gussied up all in the name of celebrating a couple you love are some of the reasons we enjoy weddings.

Whether you’re crashing, a plus one, or a VIP on the official program, you’ve still got to look your part as a guest. Dressing for a wedding is not a task to be taken lightly, especially when it's the season to dress festively. We would never recommend upstaging the bride — gentle reminder: it’s STILL quite the faux pas to wear white to a wedding unless requested by the couple — but, we can’t promise you won’t be dubbed 'best dressed.'
