One of the reasons I have stocked up on dresses this year is because I three several weddings to attend as a guest over the summer. All are late afternoon weddings (3-4 PM.) All are with the same group of friends (we were coworkers several years ago) so I'd like to wear a different outfit for each one.
The first wedding is tomorrow, and I'm already planning to wear the outfit in #9, but with a red camisole and a turquoise necklace.
However, I'd like your help picking out outfits for the other two weddings, which will be in mid and late June. The late June wedding is basic semi-formal attire so I'm thinking something from the group below (except #9, of course) would do.
The mid-June wedding is "old Hollywood glamour" theme - "dressing to theme is not required but is encouraged." The bride is wearing a gorgeous fitted satin dress that has a lovely open back, and she's made a short veil from tulle and feathers that looks absolutely incredible.
Now, I do not have a glamorous dress or a maxi dress, and I really don't have the lifestyle to warrant purchasing one (where would I ever have occasion to wear it again? My crowd doesn't do cruises or cocktail parties.) So... out of the group below, what would the best choice be?
For those of you who don't live here, summer in my area is typically nice - it doesn't rain often in June, and temperatures are usually between the mid 60's-high 70s. The weddings will be indoors and will involve dancing.
Keep in mind, I'm only asking about the dresses themselves - most likely I'd be wearing different accessories (especially being that it is summer) so if you have ideas about specific necklaces/shoes that would look great too, let me know.
(Additionally, in late summer there is another wedding, which I am the maid of honor in - it's the wedding of one of my closest friends since high school, so I'm especially excited and flattered to be involved. We'll be wearing this dress in a solid plum color and at a midi length with black pumps. I'm very grateful to my friend for her flexibility - I offered to grow my hair out if she would like us in updos, but she said that definitely wasn't necessary. Whew! My hair does NOT look good below shoulder length, so I'm quite glad.)
