It’s official, spring wedding season has begun. We had a blast shoppeing the styles we think you should be wearing for all of your events. All items are available at Hampden Clothing here in Charleston (thanks for all of the help Stacy and Emily).

MSGM dress 1

MSGM dress 2

This maxi from MSGM dress is perfectly lightweight to stay comfy all night while looking graceful. The lower heel on the Acne nude suede shoes (they are super buttery) make it easy to last on the dance floor, and the bone Edie Parker clutch is gorgeous!

Sequin skirt

I’m a big Harvey Faircloth fan, (I want this shirt for myself), so light and feminine. This Malene Birger sequin maxi skirt is to die for in person- that slit makes a statement.  We paired it with some unexpected black, white, and nude cheetah pony haired D’Orsay pumps, and a snakeskin Alexander Wang clutch. Love the “animal” elements with the sequins.

I’m in love with the colors on this Suno skirt, and again the Harvey Faircloth blouse. Love the texture on the Tibi mules with the texture on the skirt, and the perforated Clare V cream clutch will go with anything you own. This could be perfect for a shower, engagement party, or bridal luncheon.

philip lim and red shoes

Sorry for the blur on these, but this a must own dress by Philip Lim. The color and cut are classic and you will have it forever. There is a small quilt to the cloth which lets it lie perfectly on the body. The top one is a bit more traditional and girly  (this could be a great Mother of the Bride option) with a Lizzie Fortunado necklace and black suede Isa Tapia structured bow heels. The bottom one we  put some edge in with the gold studs and ruddy orange shoes by Isa Tapia. The brass lariat-esque “Inez”necklace is by Ca and Lou.

This Novis yellow stunner is so lovely. The fabric drapes so beautifully and the color is gorgeous. Love the sleeves and the button detail at the cuff.  The black and white Philip Lim heels should be in everyone’s closet. Love the “rorschach” patterned clutch by Alexander Wang, and a Theodosia blue bead necklace is very delicate but the length adds some substance.

This was one of my favorite picks for a mother of the bride. The floral embroidery detail from Simone Rocha is impeccable on this ball skirted gown. We paired a navy suede and silver strappy heel and a Ca & Lou necklace for some sparkle.

black roksanda

Roksanda detail

Ok, this Roksanda dress is fabulous. It’s a black silk faille but the structured detail add a soft girly feel.  The ultra thick lucite bangle and the Rupert Sanderson fringe heel add a youthful modernism to this. You can wear this year round too.

This lightweight beauty from MSGM pulls a color palette that will work in Spring and early fall here in Charleston.  So feminine and flattering. The crinkle gold Loeffler Randall sandals and the rose gold Clare V clutch formalize the outfit.

long white dress

So, for brides, we had a blast coming up with different friday night, and 2nd dress concepts. This Thakoon “high low” has everything- a bit of ruffle, a bit of sparkle, and a beautiful drapey fabric. Perfect for a friday night, day after brunch or going away dress. The Acne white patent and suede wedges are everything, and the Ca and Lou floral statement necklace gives you that final dazzle that says bride… Below is a close up of the necklace.

The crisp cotton, cap sleeves, and full skirt on this Tibi frock have a bit of an Audrey Hepburn feel. Perfect again for a shower or rehearsal dinner dress. The Mother of Pearl clutch has rose and navy beading that make it work with this dress and  jeans and a white t shirt. The grey suede and silver platform mules are from Rupert Sanderson.

tibi dress

This off the shoulder, short, embroidered Tibi dress belongs on a bride! So amazing. The Edie Parker black and lucite clutch is fab, and those Philip Lim heels are a must! This as a departure ensemble/2nd dress for a bride has to happen.
