Dear Fashion Guru,
I’m planning for upcoming wedding showers, and am in a dilemma of what to wear. Since sundresses aren’t an option in chilly February and March, what’s a girl to do?
Flabbergasted,

First of all, this was written by a dear friend, and the phrase “fashion guru” was used as a joke. I love style, but have no fear, I would never be so bold as to say “Hello, here am I, your fashion guru!”
Now that THAT is out of the way, let’s get down to business. This is a GREAT question. Wedding season is traditionally late Spring to early Fall, so early Spring weddings and events can be a bit tricky. There are quite a few things to consider when determining what to wear to weddings and wedding related events.
1. For weddings: time, location, personality of the people getting married, venue of the wedding and, of course, what the wedding party is wearing.
2. For wedding events: venue and hosts are the primary factors, but location, invitation style, theme of the event and attendees should also be considered.
Here are some examples of what I’d wear to a wedding event like a bridal shower, bridesmaid’s luncheon, or to an early spring, later winter wedding!
What do you think? What would you wear to a late-winter bridal shower, bridesmaids luncheon or wedding?
An Adventure In Finding Balance 
what would you wear if you are the bride? getting married March 3, 2pm, in cold Seattle, I am 50, but a very young and stylish girl. looking for ideas. I prefer short dresses, as I am short and petite.
Hmm, thats tricky! I love the idea of a tea length wedding gown – and they’re on trend right now as well 🙂 You could always do something like this gorgeous dress and add a fur (or faux fur!) stole to keep warm. Such timeless silhouette, too!
Congratulations and good luck finding a dress!
I love it! Very “Mad Men”. Thanks!!
I know, I love the vintage cut. Let me know what you end up choosing!!
