what to wear to a wedding when it’s really freaking hot

Lately I’ve received numerous Beck and Call requests for wedding guest dresses to wear through the rest of summer. If you live somewhere like Texas, the high temps are pretty much unbearable in July and August, making it somewhat difficult and uncomfortable to get all dolled up! Finding dresses that won’t stifle you, won’t show sweat, and still look church appropriate can be tricky.

I originally purchased this floral maxi dress to wear to the wedding I attended in NYC a couple months ago, but decided not to wear it. I showed it to my friend who was in the wedding, and she let me know all of the bridesmaids were being asked to wear a floral maxi dress! I decided to take my red Zac Posen number instead, and saved this pretty maxi for another occasion this summer. I brought it with me to California and thought it would be perfect for my birthday dinner with the family! I love the fitted waist and belt, both which draw attention to the narrowest part of my body. It also flows as you walk in such a dreamy way – it looks like you’re gliding across the floor! So romantic. I think it’s the perfect style for an end-of-summer wedding, don’t you?
