Editors’ Pick: Fashionable Options for Friends of the Bride

OK, it’s a given, June is the penultimate month for weddings. And even though the bride has lots of clothing options for that very special day, if you are attending the nuptials—and for the month of June, you may be attending several—finding the right look for each wedding can be bit of a conundrum. It can also hit your pocket pretty hard!!

Fashion Reverie has come up with some great looks that will not only get you through this month of weddings, but will get you noticed!! You won’t upstage the bride—God forbid—but you might get the attention of that very special someone. Why should the bride have all the fun!! You can shine, too!!

If you are attending a beach wedding and a bohemian-inspired nuptial, there are lots of great options. Whether you opt for a short dress, semi-formal or a longer more ethereal boho look, you can still look fabulous and rock your look.

Once thought of as mostly a bridal brand, THEIA has branched out into ready-to-wear. And this ethereal, diaphanous blue gown with sheer floral overlay is the perfect look for a beach wedding.

If you pockets are not deep enough for Monique Lhuillier, don’t fret Lhuillier now has a diffusion line, ML Monique Lhuillier, that is moderately priced. This tie-dyed red and pink gown with high slits will certainly grab attention.

If you are looking for something 70s-inspired with ruffles and an asymmetrical cut, this white gown from Cynthia Rowley will fit the bill. And if you are looking for something stylish and semi-formal this grey pewter gown with embroidered neckline from the JS Collection is a great option.

Cocktail dresses always work at weddings; however—unless you go for knockoffs— cocktail dresses can put a real dent in your budget. Especially if you have a lot of weddings to go and you don’t want to be seen wearing the same cocktail dress twice.

ML Monique Lhuillier and THEIA have chic, accessible looks that can be worn at the wedding and at any other fun occasion you might be attending. And if you want something at bit more classic, but affordable Carmen Marc Valvo’s Infusion diffusion line and Cynthia Rowley presents some great choices.

For that very formal wedding, you cannot go wrong with THEIA’s green floral digital print long shirt pale green architectural top. ML Monique Lhuillier is right in line with the trend of big floral prints with this strapless blue floral print gown.

For a very, modern look that will get everyone’s attention Carmen Marc Valvo Infusion is the perfect pick with its black and pink halter dress. And if you have a predilection for traditional, sophisticated fare, David Meister’s silver and tan sequined gown is a great selection.
