DO'S & DONT'S OF WEDDING SEASON.

e online

1. DO buy one solid colored medium length dress. Make sure its the type of fabric is something you can pair with a blazer, silver statement necklace & heels for a more dressy affair. But also something you can dress down with a light sweater, neon necklace and wedges. This way, one dress can last you three weddings if you play your accessories game right!

2. DO rsvp in a timely fashion. The couple has a lot going on and are putting a lot of time and effort into their wedding day. Don't make them work to figure out whether or not you're coming.

3. DO bring a plus one if you're offered that option! A partner in crime is always fun, especially if you may not know a lot of people.

4. DON'T bring a guest if that option was not extended to you. Furthermore, do not call the couple and say, "I just started dating Johnny and you would love him, he's totally awesome, would you mind if I brought him along to the wedding?" Yes, they mind. Which is why they didn't give you the option of a plus one. Under this same umbrella, if your kids were not included on the invite- they're not invited.

5. DON'T steal the spotlight. This means no wearing white. No showing off your recent wedding pics. No showing off your new engagement ring and talking about your impending nuptials. If people ask, say that being there to celebrate with Mr. & Mrs. Whatsaname has inspired you in so many ways, and mention how beautiful the centerpieces are, to turn the focus back to them. 

6. DON'T call/text the bride or groom with questions about the wedding or for directions. This should seems obvious, but it still happens. All concerns or questions should be communicated to the wedding party or researched on the wedding website.

7. DO turn off your phone during the ceremony. Along with this, if you want to use your phone to take pictures make sure the flash is off. Your photography should not interfere with the professionals photography.

8. DO buy a gift from the registry. This is a list of items handpicked by the couple- you can't go wrong- so why would you risk it.

9. DON'T be late. If you are, don't try to secretly scurry into the ceremony. People will hear you & people will turn around.

10. DO congratulate the couple & their families!
