audrey-hepburn-wedding

We think it’s only right to take style cues from Audrey Hepburn, who at her second wedding in 1969 opted for a mini dress with long sleeves for a simple modern look. Soirée brides are known for changing into shorter dresses for their receptions, allowing them to dance the night away and we think you should too! Check out some of our favorite options below (image source):

This sophisticated number by Vionnet could actually be worn as a wedding dress at a more relaxed affair. It’s on final sale so if you love it you better grab it now! Vionnet Sleeveless Dress, $657 at Shopbop.

reception-dress-2

For a more festive ensemble, we love this Marchesa “Peony” Dress! The three dimensional floral appliqués are made of silk-tulle and silk-organza. Marchesa Peony appliquéd silk-satin mini dress, $3,500 at Net-a-Porter.

reception-dress-3

Channel your inner Grecian goddess with a swinging V-neck dress trimmed in lace and an empire waist that will highlight your flattering figure. Valley Dress, $800 at BHLDN.

reception-dress-4

This Lanvin dress is all business in the front, party in the back. The dramatic bow will be a fun statement for your wedding photos and the all-over rosette pattern softens the look. Lanvin Rosette-effect cotton and silk-blend dress, $5,105 at Net-a-Porter.

reception-dress-5

You can’t go wrong with lace, and this subdued dress in a classic silhouette by Dolce & Gabbana will set the tone for a sophisticated reception. Dolce & Gabbana Lace Dress, $3,095 at MyTheresa.
