FALL IS THE NEW WHITE.
Billy Idol may not have said that exactly… but we totally feel that once September ends, “fall” is the new white. (We also feel that fall weddings should get their own 80’s hit single, but we’ll talk about that another time). With that being said, we’re here to help out the many guests of this autumn wedding season! (Sorry lovely brides, but this one isn’t about your dress. congrats nonetheless ;))
We know looking for something to wear to a wedding that’s both stylish and ethical can seem super intimidating, especially if you wait until last minute like we do.
First thing’s first: with the amount of wedding invitations that end up in your mailbox and the corresponding gifts, bachelorette parties, hotels etc. you totally shouldn’t feel like you need to buy something new to wear for each one! After you’ve looked at your own selection and decided you don’t have the hidden treasure you were hoping for in that closet of yours, your first place to look should be your girlfriends’ closets, of course! Search there for things other than dresses, too - a bolero, a cape or even just a different pair of heels can totally change a look that was earlier met with skepticism. We love it when friends borrow our dress - style validation, anyone - and what better way to bond then discussing the pros and cons of weddings.
When you’ve really milked all you can out of your friends’ and your closet (“s”- if plural, let’s talk), you head over to our Pinterest page for some lovely options and ~inspirational~ pieces. We rocked colors and prints on this style file because, why not wear something eye-catching - its a fall wedding, add some spice. This style file has some pricier items so check out our Conscious Style page as well to get some additional ideas more in your price range if you’re very much in the market for something newish.
To start, you’ll see some totally amazing Stella Jean robes (also our brand of the week) and dresses absolutely worth drooling over, along with some fun SUNO dresses and some flirty Reformation dresses, too (they just did a fall wedding collection - girls are so on it). Each of these brands in their own way is trying to make this little old planet of ours better – big shout-outs to them.
We haven’t forgotten, yes, you need a gift! Where does one buy a sustainable gift?! AND maybe a card too? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered in all departments, and yes, we’re accepting thank you {love} letters. Our Pinterest page also has some gift, accessory, shoe, and dress inspo!
We’ve taken the intimidation out of being a wedding guest because weddings are a celebration of love and, more importantly, free food! (PSA - all dresses selected by JUST leave room for plenty of the free food you’ll be eating).
Have fun and DANCE!
