Helene M. Fashion Blog

By Liana Zaborowski

Ah, wedding season!  Pretty brides, nuptials, blessings and we cannot forget the champagne and dancing (preferably all night)!  This calls for a fabulous dress.  As a bride you have showers, a rehearsal dinner and soirees in between.  As a guest you want a knockout dress that takes you into the wee hours.  For a fun, flirty look, a dress with bright colors or one with bold lines (think one-shoulder styles) will be the right thing.  Demure and preppy can translate into cotton strapless in a saturated color with a sandal.  Trade in the LBD for one in deep cobalt for a similar effect, just with a twist. Want some movement, but truly need structure? Go for a fitted little number that has some texture added to it in a surprising way, like fluttery ruffles. However you opt to adorn yourself for the wedding festivities, have fun with it. Cheers to the happy couple, and to looking fabulous at their union!

Cheers,

The Helene M. gals

Each of Beth Bowley’s styles are practical and easy to wear, yet have that city-chic look to keep you feeling very much “en vogue” and stylish without ever looking over the top.  Not to mention her prices are refreshing…
