From the closet of Rebecca of Mommy in Heels
It’s that time of year, everyone- wedding season! I don’t know about you, but I actually only have one wedding this year. That is amazing compared to one year when I had seven. Yes, seven! And I was in four of them! It was such a blast but was SO expensive!
As easy as it is to wear a classic, black cocktail dress to a wedding, it is nice to think outside the realm of typical wedding attire and wear some color. So many women seem to show up to weddings in classic black. I don’t blame any of these ladies because black is classic and it doesn’t go out of style. For me though, I like to be a little different (but not too different that any attention is taken away from the bride, of course).
Here are a few dresses that are perfect for wedding season- bright, cheery, versatile. They are so easy to dress up for your fancier weddings, or dress down for casual ceremonies.

Another thing I like to add to my fun dress is a statement necklace. Again, it just completes the whole look. Plus, it is something fun to add to your jewelry box for future wear!
1. BaubleBar /// 2. BaubleBar /// 3. ILY Couture /// 4. Stella and Dot
Because I am a Mommy, I am usually carrying around a diaper bag or a huge purse! If I do have a clutch, I will toss it in my diaper bag. I am sure you can imagine that when I get to dress up I go all out. All.Out. Having the perfect clutch to me can seal the deal with your whole look. It can make it or break it! Plus, it forces you to minimize all of the junk in your purse and carry the necessities-your id, credit card, lipstick and gum!

When your next wedding rolls around, take a chance and wear some color! You will stand out among the sea of black after black after black cocktail dresses!!
