Tulum White Wedding
“Since the palate is predetermined, all-white weddings can
be the least complex of the bunch to dress for. Pick a
floaty silhouette with plenty of movement and
beachy details (embroidery, contrast stitching, and beading
are all fair game). In the accessory department, stick to
neutrals and lace-up sandals for navigating the sand.”

bottom up: Start with a fancy flat and build from
there with elaborate colors, prints, and ruffles—the
goal is to look dressed-up but not overdressed.”

“A black-tie invite is your opportunity to pull out all the
stops and really go for it with drama—think jewel-tones,
floor-sweeping hemlines, and
unexpected necklines (less is more, so don’t be afraid to
cover up).”
