Lace is truly a romantic fabric that can be applied in many ways - from formal blouses to skirts to dresses...

Let's stay with dresses.

Lace is a classic and understated fabric for wedding dresses and can accent the dress with long sleeves and a beautiful train.  Lace wedding dresses offer a sense of delicate bridal and pure femininity.  Lace wedding dresses are gorgeous whether floor length or shorter - such as for beach or destination weddings.

Lace is elegant for bridesmaid dresses with the right complimentary color.

And then there is the best dressed wedding guest.  She is plus size, but always a fashionista in search of great deals on apparel.  She hopes to be the best dressed guest without overshadowing the bride.  In her instance, the best source is Kiyonna.  Lace can be appropriate for wedding guests - as long as the dress is not white. 

If lace is the themed fabric for the bride's wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses, then I personally find lace to be acceptable for wedding guests.

As for the best dressed guest at a wedding in this post, the perfect option is the Sofia Sequin Lace Dress Emerald City.

Plus Size Bridesmaid Style - Mademoiselle Lace Dress

Kiyonna Womens Plus Size Mademoiselle Lace Dress Pinot Noir - $148.00
from: Kiyonna Clothing

The Mademoiselle Lace Dress is not classified on Kiyonna as being a bridesmaid dress.  I just felt compelled to be unique with my decision to consider the Mademoiselle as a bridesmaid dress.  Bear with me!

Although the Mademoiselle Lace Dress is similar to the Luxe Lace Wedding Dress with scalloped lace fabric, the Pinot Noir shade will define a plus size bridesmaid's style. 

A bride and her bridal party can opt for the same fabric in the wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses, so always remember to allow complimentary colors with the bridesmaid dresses.  This will allow for beautiful photos as taken by the wedding photographer.

In the case of the Mademoiselle Lace Dress being similar to the Luxe Lace Wedding Dress in design, I chose to feature the Mademoiselle for the bridesmaid specifically because this dress is versatile in wear - from formal to evening to cocktail...the Mademoiselle Lace Dress is not limited to weddings.  Oftentimes, a bridesmaid dress is set just for the wedding and may never be worn again.  I don't necessarily recommend a wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress look nearly alike, but as long as the bridesmaid dress be in a complimentary color, the bride in white will always be in focus.

Every bride - plus size or slim - is unique in what she looks for in the perfect wedding dress.  Although some brides shop for wedding dresses without a budget in mind (and a few purchase a ceremony dress and reception dress!), most require a budget so as not to go overboard...after all, there are other expenses to consider while planning the wedding.  The bride's budget, however, shouldn't limit her selection at a bridal salon or online  The Kiyonna Stars A-line Wedding Dress is ideal for the modern woman with simple and classy taste on a reasonable budget.

Cool & Casual Summer Groom

Suits Outlets

I find that styling women's fashion - whether by occasion or just in need of a wardrobe refresh - is somehow less complicated than styling men's fashion.  Although measurements for both women and men are needed for custom wear, bespoke tailoring for men is more detailed and precise.

A Summer wedding for the groom -
Cool and casual

A Summer wedding for the bride -
Cool and sophisticated

A bride is presented with an endless array of options for her bridal gown.  Romantic lace?  Finished satin?  Delicate chiffon or organza?  Airy tulle?  Short dress?  Floor length dress?  Sleeveless, strap sleeves, cap sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, full sleeves?  I will leave these questions to her.

As for the groom -
He can opt for a light suit and tie.  He can opt for a light suit without tie.  I will leave these decisions to him.  However, I personally suggest exploring Suits Outlets online or in person to make the best consideration.
