{What to Wear Wednesday} Destination Hawaii!

Good evening everyone and welcome to {What to Wear Wednesday}  Destination Hawaii!
This week is all about Hawaiian Destination and Hawaiian themed weddings!  Any wedding in Hawaii should definitely evoke the feel of the sun, the sand, and the water that brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to its shores every year.  Let's take a look at some fabulous Hawaiian inspirations!

{Hair & Accessories}
What can I say?  The look of a Hawaiian wahine is not complete without FLOWERS!

Don't forget your leis!

{Bridesmaids' Dresses}
For a Hawaiian or a Hawaiian themed wedding you and your girls should really get into the spirit!  A floral print, which is not always a favourite for bridesmaids dresses, really works with this theme.  Play around with different patterns and even different colours to make each girl's look unique!

All three dresses from Whirlingturban.

Tired of seeing bridesmaids wearing the same colour?  Want something more unique?  Try the same dress with FOUR different colour options!  The flowing silhouette and the floral print of these dresses by Davids Bridal are perfect for a beachy Hawaiian wedding.

{Groom's & Groomsmen Attire}

Let's face it, Hawaii is HOT!  So, for your Hawaiian groom and his groomsmen, ditch the stuffy and sweaty suit jackets and go casual.  Simple short-sleeved button up shirts in solid colours or floral patterns paired with sleek pants in tan or khaki beat the heat AND look fantastic!  Or, if you still want the sophistication of a suit, opt for comfy breathable fabrics like cotton or linen and cool colours like tan, white, or beige.

Tomorrow will be {Table Top Thursday}, so be sure to check in for some Hawaiian inspirations!

{What to Wear Wednesday} Jade & Ivory Wedding

Gosh, I don't know about where all of you are, but it is a wintery afternoon where I am! That means its the perfect time for a wintery Jade & Ivory {What to Wear Wednesday}!
Like I have been saying all this week, these colours are an elegant alternative to the traditional winter wedding colours. Let's take a look at some fashionable inspirations.


{Accessories}

To give your dress or your girls' dresses a wintery feel, why not add a cute wrap, bolero, cardigan, or pashmina?

{Bridesmaid Dresses}

For your girls' dresses you can go with either colour. However, if you are going to be wearing ivory yourself, you wont really stand out against ivory bridesmaids. I would recommend putting your girls in green. Opt for full length dresses.

{What to Wear Wednesday} Rockabilly Theme

~My 100th Post~

Good evening all and welcome back for What to Wear Wednesday!

This week is all about Rockabilly! So, to me, that means energy and fun! There are definite silhouettes that you and your girls will want to fill in order to match your theme. But never fear because there are hundreds of retro pin ups to guide you on your way to retro beauty. Let's take a step back in time to look at some great inspirations!

{Hair & Accessories}

For your hair ... curls, curls, curls! Nobody sported straight hair in the 1950's so for your Rockabilly themed wedding, neither should you! Check out some retro pin ups for hairstyles, but the classic elements are victory rolls and pompadours!

Everyone wears heels to their wedding, but nobody said that you couldn't have fun doing it!

Try a cute bolero sweater with a pretty rose or and edgy skull applique for an added spark (or warmth).

{Bridesmaids}

There are some classic silhouettes that are straight from the Rockabilly era that are perfect for you and your girls. The 50's "wiggle dress" is a tight tapered dress that just screams sexy. If you want a more fun "party" atmosphere, a 50's swing style dress that has a tight bodice and a full skirt is perfect.

All dresses by Stop Staring through Unique Vintage.

{Groomsmen}

To look fabulously 50's for your Rockabilly wedding, your man and his groomsmen just need to take fashion and hair cues from icons like Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Johnny Cash!

Unfortunately, there will be no Floral Friday this week. However, you are still all invited to a Rockabilly Weekend Wedding this Saturday!
