If you're a strapless fan, this is a chic little workhorse you're bound to wear to many occasions. Fitted through the bodice, we love the extra flourish at the hemline, which is designed to hit just above the ankle. This would look so great with a bright yellow or hot pink heel! Sizes 0 to 12. Buy from Reformation.

We love a comfortable style done up in a fancy fabric. The printed Mikado silk fabric elevates this tie waist A-line dress. It's a chic choice for less formal wedding, or one of the events surrounding it. And a dress you're sure to grab again and again. Sizes 4 to 18. Buy from Alex Evenings.

You're going to need some photo-ready loungewear for the morning of the wedding, and while so many pajama sets are short sleeve and skimpy, we love the look of this gingham button up with its slouchy shoulders, blouson cuffs and back yoke.
