Style Me Pretty: Wedding Attire

Lauren Conrad — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 11:45:26 PDT

This month, Lauren's got the perfect answer to your wedding attire questions.

Last weekend I went to a lovely wedding on the beach (above is a photograph of me and my besties; I’m wearing a dress by Hoss Intropia). It was a beautiful ceremony, and all of the guests in attendance looked just as nice. In light of "wedding season" (and the all-too-familiar mystery of "What do I wear to ____?"), I thought I’d put together a post on wedding attire.
While it’s exciting to be invited to a wedding, decoding the difference between "formal," "semiformal," "cocktail," and "casual" attire as requested by the invitation can leave you wanting to reply, "I don’t." You may be wondering, "What does 'casual' mean anyway? Surely flip-flops and frocks cannot be appropriate . . . " (And you would be right!) Well, ladies, wonder no more . . . Below, I’ve decoded the puzzling meanings of wedding dress codes.

If the invitation says . . .

Black Tie. Black tie (or "formal" attire) is the most formal of all wedding dress codes. Most often, black tie weddings are in the evenings, so turn up the glamour and bring on the beads and sequins! I suggest wearing an evening gown (such as the Clementine Gown by Paper Crown, pictured above) or an elegant cocktail dress. Dramatic jewelry is welcome, and coiffed hair is a must.

Kate Moss Dressed Her Ethereal Flower Girls in Bonpoint

Rebecca M Gruber — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 08:16:00 PDT

Almost like it was ripped from the pages of one of the magazines she graces, Kate Moss's wedding was nothing short of a romantic fairy tale. The bride's rhinestone-accented Galliano gown and floral headpiece were complemented by a bevy of beautifully dressed attendants that continued to carry out the bohemian theme in custom-made Bonpoint dresses. The ivory chiffon gowns were embroidered with rosebuds to complete the garden look. For brides hoping to create a similar feel at their weddings, I've rounded up some dresses that mimic Kate's classic style.

The Flower Girls: Royal Brides' Youngest Attendants

Their duties may not include much more than looking cute while walking down the aisle, but a royal bride still carefully considers who walks behind her. For the newly anointed Princess Charlene of Monaco, the honor was bestowed on seven young girls. They join a long line of attendants waiting on royal brides on their wedding day. Take a look back on what other flower girls have worn through the years, including members of the most recent royal wedding parties.

Kate Moss Wears Something Blue For Prewedding Party

Noria Morales — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:08:32 PDT

Channeling a dreamy medieval maiden, Kate Moss appeared with soon-to-be-husband Jamie Hince outside a church in the English countryside wearing a tonal blue dress. While our favorite aspect of this outfit is her purely joyful smile, she also looks incredibly romantic with just a touch of vixen thanks to sexy high-heeled Tabitha Simmons boots. Vogue UK has confirmed that John Galliano is the designer of Kate's wedding dress, although we will have to wait for a glimpse of that, most likely in the September issue of American Vogue, which will showcase the Mario Testino-lensed wedding.
