Dear editor, I am getting married this winter and I noticed that brides are purchasing separate looks for the rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, bachelorette party, reception and bon voyage send off for their honeymoon. I have my wedding gown but need a few more outfits. Any suggestions?
For the rehearsal dinner – This gorgeous cocktail dress from Diana Mahrach Couture is sure to please everyone and is appropriate for dinner with the youngest to the oldest in your families. Don’t forget to add a few sprays of “Nearlywed” by Susan James Fragrances. Some of the notes are white chocolate, vanilla, bergamot, jasmine and lily of the valley just to name a few. This signature scent will always remind you of these moments for the rest of your life.
For a vintage-inspired gown, this taupe and white dress from Diana Mahrach Couture with appliques is sure to be a wow moment while paying homage to yesteryear.
For the reception, you said “I do” so it’s time to change out of that gown and into your sleeveless and strapless mermaid gown so that you can dance like everyone is watching because they are! Don’t forget to take your veil off and add your birdcage headband veil to keep it classy and sassy. Imperial Lola by Grace bridal hair pieces remind us to “give” demure.
Heading to Biscuits for Breakfast? This restaurant has some of the best breakfasts on Martha’s Vineyard, hence they always have a line! Doors open at 7am and close at 3pm so get there early or order ahead and take it to go. The perfect outfit is a cute, oversized hoodie, your favorite short shorts or barrel jeans with a pair of sleek sneakers or flat ankle strap sandals. Add your baseball cap if you did not have a moment to brush your hair before running out the door to claim your space online.
Heading to take in a movie or panel discussion? Add a maxi dress with a nautical or floral motif. Rather its strapless, halter or ruffled you sure to appear polished yet carefree. Add statement jewelry such as a fabulous colorful earring and a cute neutral-colored tote bag with all your essentials–water bottle, visor and shades (what else could you possibly need).
Spending the day at the Inkwell Beach? This calls for a beach chair, umbrella, cute towel and great books to read. Choose a bathing suit set that comes with a great pair of pants or skirt to wear as a coverup in case you want to head straight to lunch.
Ending the evening at the Strand Theater for a comedy show? Think beautiful, wide-legged trousers with a fitted top and jean jacket (it’s cool in the evenings).
