Wedding Season has Arrived

The arrival of summer can only mean one thing: wedding season is upon us! From Taylor Swift to Dua Lipa, summer wedding news seems inescapable. With the weather getting warmer and the wedding invites accumulating, the inevitable need to acquire outfit after outfit only grows. If you’re not in a wedding party and don’t have a dress or outfit assigned to you, the task of styling yourself for a wedding might appear daunting. Thanks to vintage and What Goes Around Comes Around (WGACA), wedding styling has gotten that much easier! Take a look through our wedding guide and find the wedding that's closest to your event and style away!

Destination Wedding

If you’re one of the lucky ones who have been invited to Dua Lipa’s weeklong wedding extravaganza in Italy, you’re probably on the hunt for a chic, Euro-inspired look. Destination weddings, no matter the location, combine the excitement of travel with the intimacy of a thoughtfully curated celebration. Whether taking place on a tropical beach, along the Mediterranean coast, or in a historic European city, these weddings often embrace a sense of adventure and effortless luxury. Guests typically seek accessories that transition seamlessly from ceremony to cocktail hour and evening festivities while remaining practical for travel.

While we’d never recommend upstaging the bride, especially if that bride is Miss Lipa herself, the allure of a destination wedding allows for a fun and fashionable moment. If you find yourself on a coast in Europe, throw on your chic slip dress and reach for a mini clutch or bag from Hermes or Chanel. A Mini Chanel Flap or YSL Mombasa would pair perfectly with your European setting. Paired with a statement Gripoix accessory from Chanel, your destination wedding look will turn heads and help you stand out from the rest of the guests.

Black Tie Wedding

A black-tie wedding calls for elevated, formal attire with luxurious details. Often hosted in sophisticated settings, these celebrations invite guests to embrace glamour and elegance. While you will surely be dressed to the nines in a floor-length gown, your accessory should be just as glamorous. A sleek black bag, from a Kelly Sellier 20 to a mini-Lady Dior, is the correct way to go. Don’t overdo the jewelry here. Try classic faux-pearl jewelry that accentuates your gown and doesn’t take away from it.
