What to wear to a wedding (or three)

[mekyria]

This post is prompted by Misspotsit's post about appropriate wedding atire for guests. In 2013, three of my friends are getting married. Each occassion is different and requires a different dress style so I thought it would be nice to ponder a bit on my clothing options.

1st wedding: Marleen, may 2013
A spring wedding from a highschool friend. This will be an easy one: no dress code, so I go with this dress:

and a vest or jacket on top, paired with nice heels and jewelry

2d wedding: Annelies, august 2013
One of my intermediate students/friends, who is having her wedding in the backyard of her fathe rin law and is doing everything low key. no heels for me, probably a nice cotton dress + flats

3th wedding: Ikaiya, September 2013
I am her best men and one of the mistresses of ceremony, meaning that I need something practical to run around in inbetwen things, and a victorian gown in red and purple for the ceremony and party. Chances are that I have to drive a car and lots of practical things, a nice dress and comfy shoes for that occassion. For the victorian dress I need to sketch a design and plan the making off, have to finish it in june/july because august is probably stuffed to the brim.

Bonus!! Pictures of pretty dresses!

I haven't posted much about my wardrobe in the past year, probably because I got quite settled in my office style outfits and such. Looking at pretty dresses always cheers me up, I uploaded a couple of pictures from the dresses that I bought in the past three months for everyday/ofice wear. Enjoy!

Red crepe chiffon dress: easy to wear with black leggings, pumps and a colbert for work, or with high heels for a party. Doesn't wrinkle, light and easy to transport. Suprisingly flattering.

geisha dress! I love this, coton and bright flower print. I wear it with my purple jacket to work, and with impractical high heels for a dressed up thing. The bustline is not very flattering but hey, amazing color scheme, print and details. Who'd say no to that :-)

Love all 3!! :) And aaaaaaah I really want to see pictures of ikaiya's wedding, I bet you're both going to look amazing! :)

I'm invited to a wedding in NL in August, but I think it's a little unlikely that I'll be able to go :( I don't think travelling with a 1,5 month of baby is a good idea and I'm not sure I'll be able to 'let go' and go on my own. Sucky timing!
