Chic Wedding Weekend Looks: Styling Tips for Your Wedding Weekend with Something White Styling

The Clara mini dress by Galia Lahav is a wonderful go-to for a bachelorette bash and hitting the town with your besties. Sparkles? Check. Bow-tiful details? Check. Comfy yet chic heels for dancing the night away? Double-check. I wanted to give this look an added feminine touch with subtle and dainty bow elements, just on the earrings and bag. In my opinion, this outfit screams fun and glam, with a sprinkle of glitter on the shoes to tie it all together!

The Ina ivory corset wedding gown is such a versatile dress, which could mold to almost any bridal vibe out there depending on how you style it. At first glance, it says “city chic” to me with its sleek simplicity, just begging for some statement accessories. The show-stopping, mesh back really inspired me to play around with pearl accents. Pearls can be so boring or expected when it comes to bridal, so I’m always looking for ways to make them feel less stuffy. I loved these sexy, strappy pearl heels with a matching drop earring, I also added the marble YSL box clutch for a touch of luxury. Whether you rock your hair up or down, this dress has got your back! For a fancy affair, go for a veil, but for an intimate party, swap it out for a flirty birdcage veil. Let the bridal fashion fun begin!

The Alana corset midi dress is a versatile gem, perfect for various bridal occasions. I wanted to style this dress for a more glamorous reception or post-wedding ceremony look – imagine slipping into it after saying “I do,” enjoying a delicious dinner, and then twirling away on the dance floor. The intricate mix of beading and embellishments will sparkle as you steal the spotlight. And with Summer on the horizon, why not jazz it up with a pop of color, just the shoes and the handbag? Green is such a vibe and for me lately feels so fresh and rejuvenating! And hey, just a friendly, stylist reminder – brides can totally wear colors other than white, break the rules and own it.

The Tia Embellished Crop Jacket from Galia Lahav is totally stealing the show this season! Why do I love it? Well, it’s like a magic cape that spices up any outfit in a snap. Picture it with a silky slip dress, but for this dreamy Rehearsal Dinner ensemble, I’m pairing it with chic and effortless silk trousers. I wanted this look to feel a little more masculine, but the sparkly jacket is still very playful. Add a bold bag (specifically loving this one, which makes a statement) and sparkly heels for that extra oomph. Style your hair up or down, depending on the overall vibe. And if you’re layering underneath, keep it sleek with a white silk tank or bodysuit. Voilà, you’re ready to kick off your wedding weekend!

Now that the formalities are over and dinner is a wrap, it’s time to show off your moves on the dance floor! As a professional stylist, I always recommend slipping into something more fun and comfy. Say goodbye to gown-stepping worries and hello to the fabulous Tia jacket. For an extra oomph, match it up with the dazzling Ava mini skirt – the crystal details are a match made in heaven. I styled this ensemble with sleek silver heels, quirky sparkly hoops, and a choice between a simple white silk bralette or a sparkly number for those feeling extra fancy (because, we love a maximalist moment). Oh, and let’s not forget about the textured Cult Gaia clutch that adds a cool contrast to the outfit – who says your handbags have to be a perfect match? Embrace the mix-and-match game with a touch of texture and style fun!

Let’s spice things up post-party with a killer combo: the Ava skirt and Annie bedazzled corset top. Corsets have become such a bridal staple and are like the Houdini of wedding fashion – easy to sneak into your daily wear after the “I do’s”. Picture yourself in the corset and jeans on your anniversary, celebrating your everlasting love. The corset will keep you snug and feeling fierce on the dance floor. To jazz up this look, I added some funky, more bold pearl accessories from head to toe, completing the ensemble with a touch of elegance. For the full effect, rock a chic high ponytail or bun to show off those earrings and the stunning corset neckline. And let’s not forget the sheer magic of the corset – a hint of skin beneath the sparkle adds a touch of allure.
