Wedding season is upon us! After a year of postponed plans and ever-changing dates, couples are finally getting ready to tie the knot and celebrate their big day. If the first wedding invitation of the year has already come in the mail, you’re ready to start planning everything from a stylish outfit to an unforgettable gift.
From tips on what to wear to ideas on what to give, we’ve got you covered for a season of happily ever afters.
The dress code: looks for every occasion
From garden party nuptials to vineyard celebrations, these outfits promise plenty of flair and style, no matter the setting.
Dresses to impress
Slip dresses are perfect for hotter months and can be artfully layered in the fall. Meanwhile, maxi dresses in fanciful florals exude a romantic Bridgerton vibe. A cocktail dress works just as well for daytime as it does for nighttime celebrations.

Living in colour
A wedding is the perfect excuse to swipe on your favourite berry lipstick or add a little sparkle with some shimmery eyeshadow. Prefer a rosy flush? Play up your cheekbones with a rosy blush.
