Modern and Minimalist
With its long, clean lines, the jumpsuit continues its reign on the runway. It’s a comfortable yet fashion-forward choice that complements an array of body shapes.

Day-To-Night
A bright watercolor floral pattern easily traverses a daytime ceremony to late-night revelry.

A New Play On Pink
An unusual twist on a traditional bridesmaid color: Achieve the look with vintage peach-pink velvet and Halston-esque details, such as a glamorous cape. If the wedding is a laid-back, casual affair, crush convention with a boho-style, off-the-shoulder dress in blush with lace touches.
