Those who know me know that my least favorite season is winter, next on the list would be wedding season. However, if there is an upside to weddings, it's the opportunity to display well executed glamour.

Some things I kept in mind when selecting my look are as follows: it would be hot, it would be humid, and I would be on my feet most of the day. Therefor, I selected a fitted sleeveless halter key whole gown that just exceeded knee length, paired with a light neutral blazer, as well as open heels at a perfectly bearable height.

As much as I love to sparkle, I kept my look as a whole demure, for it is unfortunately considered rude to upstage the the bride. With plenty of shine present in my dress, I stuck with my everyday jewelry in order to avoid looking garish to any extent.

I took my same neutral principle, and applied it to my hair and make-up as I knew the humid ocean air would sooner rather than later make attempts at destroying the both. Some tips to beat the heat would be to choose false eyelashes over mascara, and use generous amounts of hair spray.
