What to Wear to a Summer Wedding (as a guest)

Summer is here (finally) and that means warm nights, wonderful weather, and, of course, wedding season. If you're like us, your summer calendar has been slowly filling up with weekend weddings all year long. Now is finally the time to pick something off the registry, book that hotel room, and figure out what to wear!

If you are wondering what the perfect wedding guest would wear at a summer soiree, check out our list of trends that are going to be hot this summer. And don't forget to make an appointment at Miss Ruby Boutique if you are looking for a gorgeous dress to wear to a wedding. We are not only here for bridesmaids - we're here for anyone looking to wear an amazing dress, even if you are just a guest.

Trend 1: Retro Chic

There are some things that never go out of style - like the dresses pictured below! Whether you decide to look 60's sexy, 50's fabulous or venture all the way back to the 20's for some jazz-era style, retro chic dresses are a fun way to get dressed up and look your best.

Trend 3: Yellow

Nothing says summer or puts a smile on our face quite like the color yellow. Wearing it as a wedding guest is a wonderful way to stand out in the crowd and bring some of the summer sun with you, even to a late night reception. Check out our pictures below and be sure to stop by Miss Ruby Boutique - our designers have some gorgeous dresses that all can be ordered in this summery hue!

We love the ladylike collar and nude pumps.

Before Walking Down the Aisle, Read This Book!

We know that finding a dress can be a challenge to some, but finding a perfect man to be waiting for you at the end of the aisle is even harder!

We found "My Little Book of Whether or Not He's Worth It" by Brittany Bailey on an adorable blog entitled Lace & Lollipops, and wanted to share it with all our brides. Inspired by the famous book "He's Just Not That Into You," Miss Bailey compiled a pocket-sized guide of qualities that are a must in the man worth marrying. If you are single, they are great things to look for. If you are married (or about to be), they are a great reminder of all the wonderful things that made you fall for your groom in the first place. And the best part? There is a link on her blog so that you can print out the booklet and share it with your girlfriends!

We love the ribbon binding!
