So far this week we’ve tackled Bridal Shower attire, Rehearsal Dinner-wear and finally today.. what to wear for the actual wedding! Oh, and did I mention I’ve been wearing a single stunning dress? After years of spending my Summer budget on wedding season dresses, I teamed up with French Connection to show you how just a single statement dress can be styled for every event you’re invited to.. and even better… you’ve got a chance to win this dress for yourself below!
