blue dress tight Sweetheart Sequin Short Homecoming VK23090808 – Vickidress or a fun night out Aerie Couture 305 Tight Long

Consider the Season and Weather If we say "picture a bridal shower," you're likely thinking of a springtime celebration replete with flowers, pastel colors and sunshine

Pair it with slacks or chinos, slip on a blazer (or not) and you're good to go

Because life is too short to eat food which is just okay

This ivory jacquard poppy printed dress has a vintage feel and is so chic, brides might prefer it for themselves

So look for one-shoulder styles, cut-outs (hi, Prea James), sleeves (the puffier, the better, thank you Karen Willis Holmes), sheer overlays (like the Alca Line Bride number) and slip dresses for days (Lilia Cass and Fiona Claire were looking at you)
