Think high collars, puffed-up shoulders, defined waistlines, long skirts and lacy material

The appeal of an LBD is so widely spoken about it seems obvious to point out the many pros of having a head-to-toe black look that always looks polished, however, sometimes even the best black summer dresses can be overlooked: ditched instead for romantic florals, dreamy ruffles or statement stripes

Black tie optional, black tie creative and cocktail attire are just a few of the alternatives to traditional black tie attire you may encounter

The structured silhouette of the boots contrasts perfectly with the softness of your dress, creating a stylish balance of boldness and femininity

I always love hearing how other people and especially other geographical regions and cultures feel about this, so please chime in with your thoughts

Keep the dress stored in its breathable garment bag until your wedding day
