Can't wait to see.&nbsp;<br /><br />I have a summer garden wedding, too. Luckily I have a dress from last year that I plan to wear.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-a-summer-garden-wedding#post-926301 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:01:58 +0000 unfrumped 926301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Not to panic! My recent focus has been MOTB and to lesser extent thinking about other family members in the photos. I don't think there's a total blackout (!) on white jackets. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-a-summer-garden-wedding#post-926286 Mon, 06 May 2013 19:48:05 +0000 nancylee 926286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, these are all lovely options. &nbsp;I'm actually considering that Maggie London dress for a wedding later in May myself.......<br /><br />I think either dress #1 or #1 with a white jacket would be lovely. &nbsp;Skirts just make things complicated IMO. &nbsp;Too much to match! &nbsp;:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-a-summer-garden-wedding#post-926276 Mon, 06 May 2013 19:38:43 +0000 texstyle 926276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I prefer the VC skirt to the dresses (just a personal preference of course)&nbsp;but I wonder if you could go with something like a&nbsp;raspberry, fuchsia&nbsp;or hot pink&nbsp;topper over the burgundy shell. Of course silver and gray would be obvious choices for a topper too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-a-summer-garden-wedding#post-926268 Mon, 06 May 2013 19:35:30 +0000 Makrame 926268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, unfrumped, you just gave me something to think about! &nbsp;I ordered a white jacket from Nordstrom that I thought would be a perfect topper for any dress with a white background. &nbsp;Maybe not... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-a-summer-garden-wedding#post-926266 Mon, 06 May 2013 19:33:43 +0000 unfrumped 926266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think any of those are appropriate for a summer wedding, and so it might boil down to what you think is most flattering and/or easiest to complete. Often that is the deal for me--for which one can I get shoes and topper.<br /><br />Toppers can be a pain--personally I tend to cross off the idea of a white jacket at weddings, but it's not as important if not in the wedding party and if balanced by a lot of other color or pattern. It's just something I've tried to avoid. Gray or silvery-gray would be pretty with the skirt and a burgundy top. With the other dresses, you'd have a wide range of color options for toppers&nbsp; if you need one. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-a-summer-garden-wedding#post-926254 Mon, 06 May 2013 19:26:50 +0000 Makrame 926254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have an invitation to an early summer wedding on the grounds of an old estate. &nbsp;The ceremony is in the afternoon. &nbsp;I am not sure yet whether I will be able to go but would like to consider possible outfits.<br /><br />Option 1&nbsp;is the mirror print dress by Maggie London (copycatting Janet, Celia,&nbsp;Sarah). &nbsp;Option 2 -&nbsp;this chevron dress by Maggie London on Ideeli today (half the price but I have to pay shipping). &nbsp;I like the neckline better on the second dress but not sure about the print. &nbsp;I also like this skirt by Vince Camuto (Option 3)&nbsp;and have a burgundy tiered sleeveless shell I could wear over it - but not sure what color of topper would work with the off-white skirt and burgundy top. &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;Other ideas?
