- Mikki Taylor's Living With StyleWhile weddings are special, never feel compelled to shop for a new look and break the bank in the process. I'm sure you already own a few looks that fit the bill with flair. I say, who cares if you wear a dress more than once? Trust me: The fashion police won't be on your trail from wedding to wedding making a report!http://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/111773_Original.jpg

Look to vintage shops for costume jewelry, ladylike accessories such as embellished clutches, and my summer-wedding must-have: veils. Yes, small veils are OK for wedding guests to wear! Like fascinator hats, little veils have fine details such as tiny bows or leaves throughout to elevate any dress.SHOP NOW: Silk Coil Hat, $120http://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/111774_Original.jpg

I've worn lovely pale gloves to add a sense of formality to my usual daytime frocks so they'd be wedding-ready.SHOP NOW: Peachy Keen Gloves, $70http://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/111775_Original.jpg
- Mikki Taylor's Living With StyleWhile a dance-worthy cocktail dress is perfect for any wedding, separates are allowed as well. Try a lovely peplum top paired with a pencil skirt or flirty, fit-and-flare alternative. Let rich fabrics rule: taffeta, brocade, lace, silk or crepe.

- Mikki Taylor's Living With StyleIf a bride requests black-tie attire, then formal gowns are required. Go for drama with a gown in a rich, sophisticated hue. Think timeless shapes, beautiful necklines (one-shoulder, strapless, jewel) and formal fabrics (silk, crepe, chiffon). If you don't own a gown, then consider working a shrug over a beautiful maxi dress in a bold, solid hue paired with evening accessories.
