So let’s start with your first formula...
Look 1: Formal Indoor/Outdoor Wedding
The voluminous silhouette balances ease and drama—perfect for a garden wedding or dressy outdoor ceremony. Whether it's at a country club or a beach wedding with an indoor reception, going from outside to in can be tricky—but this formula handles both with ease. Statement jewelry keeps it from feeling too casual, and a strappy heel finishes the look with polish. This outfit is breathable, elegant, and surprisingly versatile.
The Formula:
Flowy "potato sack" dress (volume is the moment!)
Bold statement jewelry
Strappy metallic heel
Sleek clutch
💡 Stylist Tip: Choose a dress with a bold print—this keeps the volume feeling intentional and chic. Bonus: it photographs beautifully from every angle.
