  • Mikki Taylor's Living With Style
    Wedding season should be fun, so don't stress. First, start by looking at each wedding invitation through a fresh fashion lens. Ask yourself: Who's getting married? What time of day is the wedding taking place? Is there any suggested attire? Where is the wedding taking place? Questions like these will help you define your dress code for the occasion.

    While 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!

    It's always the little things that make a big difference when it comes to great style. 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, $120

    While 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.

    If 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. SHOP NOW: Arabelle Long Dress in Silk Chiffon, $365
