{Spring Threads}...Wedding Edition Part Three

Our last wedding edition of spring threads has the ultimate fanciful vibe. Imagine a garden wedding, not only are there bouquets and boutonnieres, but walls of flowers, petals down the isle, gorgeous ivy twisting it's way around archways. It's dreamy and fragrant. With this, you definitely get to go on the precious side of things. Since the flowers will most likely be incredibly vibrant, sticking with a softly neutral ensemble can be best. 

This beautiful blush pink dress with a boat neck is perfect for garden and tea parties alike; it's girly and still sophisticated. (Bonus! This is something you actually can wear again.)

Simple gold hoops will look elegant, but young––they also will be great for any hairstyle.

Let your necklace mimic the garden while being totally cool. The tortoise shell enamel baubles with sparkle and shine are anything but predictable. They also give a nice edge to the sweetness of the whole outfit. 

Add some funk by mixing floral patterns with geometric designs like this clutch to make your "garden themed outfit" a little less obvious.

Since you'll be wearing a pale, short dress, these nude shoes with minimal straps will elongate your legs, give you great posture and with an ankle strap, you're set for dancing!

What do you usually wear to weddings? Would you dare wearing any shade of white or cream? Can you wear the same color scheme as the bridal party? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

P.S. A totally sweet, non-traditional wedding gift; 27 must take wedding photos; and hashtagging a wedding for candids from friends and families (we did it at a family member's wedding!). 

{Spring Threads}...Wedding Edition Part Two

The last wedding style post we looked at easy, breezy evening weddings. For this wedding, we're going to the pretty typical wedding. The one where the ceremony is at a church at three o' clock in the afternoon, the reception is at a country club with beautiful flowers and green lawns, and the DJ plays only classics. It's refined, fun, and lovely. Wearing a simple, bright dress with fun accessories is a great way to mix up the preppy look a little. Everything from the cut of the dress to the pattern of the necklace is traditional, but the candy hues keep it funky.

A sweet papaya toned dress that will look great with manicured lawns and oak trees. 

Neon sorbet baubles that scream, "I'm preppy, but fun!"

Avoid the lipstick and go with a simple gloss that is effortless and playful.

Crazy blue nails that pick up your necklace and remind you to go a little wild at the dance.

Basic, but not bland clutches are great for when your jewelry does the talking.

Metallic pumps for dancing the night away like the glam 80s bands that will definitely be played.

P.S. Can we just go back to the April wedding?

{Spring Threads}...Wedding Edition Part One

Spring is coming to a close, which means that wedding season is in full swing. Almost every weekend I see limos, veils, and tulle turning around the corner. As we all begin to attend the busiest season of love, here are some of my favorite looks for every sort of venue. Our first type of wedding is the relaxed evening ceremony. Perhaps it takes place on the beach, in a beautiful garden, or in a church. Either way, sticking with a simple, but bold dress is a great decision.

If you somewhat mimic the setting sun in this purple maxi, you'll look great without distracting. Plus, you'll look wonderful in those candid pictures we (kind of) dread!

Let the stars and setting sun set your earrings a glow with glittery gems.

For spring events, I kind of love gold nail polish. It's glamorous and still sophisticated. 

A bright pink lip is all you need for your spring smile to bloom.

A natural woven clutch is perfect for a relaxed, polished look when toting along all your necessities. 

If you're outside and in a maxi, stick with a great flat sandal. Dancing will also be much more enjoyable. 

{Spring Threads}...Light Whites

Will you wear white this spring? It's one of my favorite colors to wear when it's warm outside. It looks great with a tan, but I secretly love white with pale skin. It looks so angelic, don't you think? Here are some beautifully crisp white for this spring. 

P.S. We are still wearing sweaters and jeans in Minnesota, so it may be a while until I can wear my favorite white tank top. 

White shift dress that looks like a cloud.

A beautiful white bowl that would look gorgeous with blackberries. 

A string of pearls that is opera-worthy (but would look great with a chambray).

Snake skin belts for the adventurous. 

Doesn't this bracelet remind of you rock candy? 

I'm totally into the white nails fad. 

Lucite white sunnies. I can imagine wearing these on the beach while enjoying fresh lavender ice cream.

Studs that have a nice variety for many occasions.

White flats for a day of picnicking and farmers markets. 

Have an all white party (with brightly colored balloons) using these plates!

Isn't there something so appealing about white stilletos? 

{Spring Threads}...Coffee Shop Concert

This week has been continually warmer, so all the coffee shops are throwing open the windows and campus guitarists are spilling into the streets. Every café, pub, and restaurant seems to be having casual, cool concerts to kick off the coming of spring. Here's what I'd wear for a day (or evening) of some indie acoustic tunes. I like lots of brushed metals and metallics for a casual evening to keep it interesting but simple.

A relaxed denim smock style blouse.

Leather + stone wrap bracelet.

Zipper bracelet.

Stacking rings.

Effortless metallic heels.

The perfect spring lip color. Red meets pink.

Mix in a soft floral clutch for the perfect touch of femininity.
