Who says being a bride-to-be is easy? A bride-to-be has to oversee practically everything that has to do with her upcoming wedding and be in perfect attendance to a number of different occasions before the wedding such as the engagement party, bridal shower, and of course: the bachelorette party. On top of all these planning and chaos, she has to look impeccable. So if you happen to be a bride-to-be yourself and have to attend said occasions before the wedding, then this is your guide to looking stylish on the following events:

Engagement Party

The first occasion before the wedding is the engagement party. Engagement parties were basically held for the purpose of announcing a couple’s engagement, but nowadays engagements are usually announced before the party, hence it became more of a celebration in honor of the newly engaged couple.

Engagement parties can range from casual to formal and as the bride-to-be, you can wear practically anything you want and these cocktail dresses would be the perfect choice because they aren’t over the top, and there isn’t a doubt you’ll look stunning in any of these dresses.

Bridal Shower

Originally, a bridal shower is where friends of the bride-to-be gather to bring gifts that would compensate for the dowry the family of the bride-to-be cannot afford or when the  father does not approve of the man she is to marry. Eventually this became a tradition which friends of the bride-to-be (usually the bridesmaids) hosts. The purpose of this particular event is to shower the engaged couple with gifts which range from stuff they can use in the household to silly novelty gifts.

What’s great about the dresses below is that they are in bright colors and fun prints which is what a bridal shower should be: relaxed and fun. On the plus side, these dresses are also flexible enough wherein if your bridal shower is more on the semi-formal side these will still be appropriate.

Bachelorette Party

The bachelorette party, often mistaken for being the same as the bridal shower, is commonly the last occasion before the wedding. It is held shortly before the big day (also appropriately held during the evening). The bride-to-be and her girlfriends go out to have fun and to celebrate her “last night of freedom”. A bachelorette party usually entails a night of drinking.

This type of occasion calls for  a dress that you would normally wear to clubs or bars; something that is figure-hugging and/or sexy. The dresses below are the perfect choice for when you want to exude sexiness while keeping it classy.

I would like to share some of my tips to shop while you’re on a budget…

• Decide how much money you want to spend for the whole outfit (dress, accessories, shoes)
  Say, your budget is $300, find a dress that costs around $150 to $ 200, then you can use the rest of the money for accessories (necklace, earrings, bracelet – if necessary) and shoes.

• Go for non-traditional dress
  Typically, Prom dress is a classic princess-y ball gowns, but fashion is about thinking outside the box and creating trends. We are so lucky to live in this modern era that most of the things doesn’t have to be traditional. You no longer have to wear a ball gown (unless you really want to). Choose a statement mini dress, easy to wear and no need to worry about someone stepping on your dress. Or gorgeous chiffon dress, or even fabulous printed dress to look stunning and different than others.

Did you know that there is an average of 2.3 million American couples who gets married in a year? And that 6 months is the average length of engagements? Also, that the most popular months for weddings are June, followed closely by August? Which explains why  some women are already getting panicky at this time of month… and I’m only talking about the wedding guests.

Wedding guests, mostly women, are often at loss for ideas on what to wear for that special event they were invited to. The most common dilemma is wanting to look  fabulous in the appropriate dress without stealing the bride’s thunder. In other words, they want to look more fabulous than the rest of the guests invited yet look less fabulous than the bride. No wonder these women go crazy trying to come up with the right look.

If you are reading this, then chances are you have been invited to a wedding of a friend or relative and need help with a suitable, yet fab wedding guest look. Read on for some age appropriate looks you can try out:

Semi-Formal

If the wedding invitation states that the event will be semi-formal, the best and safe dress to wear is a cocktail dress with minimum crystal or sequin embellishment. Keep it classy and avoid getting ones that are too short.

Formal/Black Tie

 A black tie wedding is the most formal type of wedding which usually takes place in the evening and would require you to wear a gown. Again, keep it classy. Since it is a black tie event, you can wear gowns that are strapless or have thigh high slits just as long as you choose ones that are not too revealing or vulgar.

Casual/Outdoor Wedding

Casual could mean an outdoor wedding; perhaps the wedding you are invited to will be held in a garden or a beach. When a wedding invitation states that the event will be casual, it doesn’t mean you can attend wearing jeans/shorts, tank tops, or basically anything too casual. Remember that you are attending a wedding therefore you still have to respect the special event and wear something appropriate like a sundress.

It is common knowledge that as a wedding guest, we shouldn’t wear white especially since it can take away from the bride. But now that we are living in modern times and rules or etiquette such as this have become more lenient, wedding guests are allowed to wear white just as long as they wear one with print. Remember though, that it is always better to ask the bride.

Plenty of girls obviously want to look fabulous on their prom night and some, if not most, would go out of their way to show their schoolmates the fabulous curves they have been hiding all school year. These girls are aiming to “slay” <I believe is the term> with their chosen dress so they pick out the sexiest one there is. But see, there is a fine line between sexy and trashy and more often than not, a lot of girls tend to cross that line and end up looking like, for lack of a better word,  a streetwalker.

These girls sometimes fail to realize that a dress which reveals a lot of skin does not necessarily equate to looking sexy. Sexy is showing enough skin, but still leaving to the imagination. So before you go pick out a dress that has cuts here and there <and maybe even everywhere>, read through this post first so you’ll come out looking sexy and classy and not cause your schoolmates to die cringing <or quite possibly> laughing.

Below are some of MissesDressy’s alluring dresses that will get you the effect you want: a sexy and classy look that will save you from mortification when you dig up your prom pictures years later.

Red is already a sexy and attention-grabbing color and this Jovani 3097 dress, with its slit, deep V front, and somewhat backless feature, is something that will instantly capture anyone’s attention. It reveals the décolletage, legs, and back yet it doesn’t look anywhere near trashy. If anything, it looks very elegant and it’s because the dress is flowy and  not skimpy and tight fitting.

The Sherri Hill 8435 dress is a common type of dress that girls usually go for with its minimal cutout at the waist which emphasize curves and crisscrossed straps at the back which then adds to the aesthetic and reveals a toned back. However, this is also a type of dress that some girls have worn which have induced some cringing. Why? Because these girls have gotten the wrong size and crammed their bodies into this supposedly lovely number causing their skin to bulge out here and there due to the tightness. A word of caution when buying this dress: Make sure it fits you perfectly.

This dress was designed to make you look  like you’re wearing a short dress with your midriff and décolletage peeking through the sheer fabric and the lower part of your legs obscured by a slightly denser, but still sheer fabric. Sheer is sexy because it can create a peek-a-boo effect like this Jovani 171100 dress does. It shows the legs, yet not entirely. When you walk in this dreamy number your legs can be seen though not entirely; and when you stand still, it obscures them with the delicate folds of the fabric.

This lovely Faviana 6937 dress can be considered sexy and classy because when left alone, the skirt actually does not look like it has a slit so when you’re standing it is just an ordinary flowy skirt to anyone who doesn’t know better. And when you move, that’s the time it shows your legs and like the Jovani 171100, it creates a peek-a-boo effect. As for the top, it is not too obvious that It’s sheer all over because of the plum colored beads that are scattered across which obscures most part of your upper body. Just imagine when it catches light, it’s going to look absolutely gorgeous!

Don’t be fooled by the front of this sparkly Jovani 171158 dress as it also packs quite a punch with its plunging back and the dangling chains that gives it an extra “oomph”. It completely covers the front while highlighting your flawless back and toned gams.

This Jovani 9419 is quite like the previous dress above, but instead of the back, your décolletage is the part being highlighted in this. Now this can be a tricky outfit to wear with its tight plunging neckline especially if you’re a girl very well-blessed on the front. Take your cue from the model in the photo and give it up if too much cleavage is showing as it can look unsightly.

Keep in mind that when choosing a dress, especially one that exposes your best assets, make sure it fits you perfectly because if the dress does not fit you, you’re going to end up looking sloppy. Also if it’s not working out for you, don’t force it.

Now you may go and find a dress that will, in your term, “slay”. Have a wonderful prom!

In every wardrobe, backless dresses should never be outdated because its one of the most sought after versatile dress that staple any pump heels and clutches.  It looks stunning for women of any figure because it highlights the slender back area which makes a woman look thinner.  Backless prom dress draw attention to the body curves of a woman which replicate to a modern styling of dresses.
