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.”

“A black-tie invite is your opportunity to pull out all the

cover up).”
