What to Wear To A Spring-Summer Wedding, Carrie Bradshaw Style!

Where do we turn season after season for style notes? Towards our favourite icons! SATC's style savvy is practically biblical. Carrie Bradshaw was't afraid to hit or miss in the fashion stakes: She pulled off every look brilliantly - with a fabulous sense of fun! If you're heading to a wedding, we've had a rifle through her on-screen wardrobe to pull out a few staple #TBT pieces that'll work this SS 2017! 

A Little Bit of Fun 

Style this one down for a boho vibe or style it up for a fancy cocktail do - we love the versatility of this off-the-shoulder (fashion has been going crazy for this lately), floaty dream of a dress! It's sweet, flirty and easy to wear - especially in the heat! Look out for light materials, chiffon and just a few ruffles to rock this look. 

Bold Botanicals 

We've raved on about botanicals - and for good reason! This trend has really taken off in weddings and, with summer just around the corner, it's showing no signs of slowing down! What do we love so much about this dress? It makes the most of the gorgeously exotic hothouse floral print! 

Bright & Easy

Two words: Jewel tones! Opt for a bold signature colour on a tailored style dress and let it do all the talking for you! If you're ready to wow, do a Carrie and stun in fuchsia - one of those colours that was made for a sunny day to totally pop! Keep it simple, keep it iconic. 

An English Country Garden 

If you're looking for more of a classic look (church wedding anybody?), as a rule of thumb, you can't go wrong with a pretty floral print. Carrie's 1950s style dress is a perfect call for just a touch of vintage that'll make you garden party wedding ready! 

What to take away from this? Carrie'll carry you through the warmer months this wedding season with looks fashioned for effortless top of the list guest chic! Perfect.
