Weddings: a time of joy and extraordinary inebriation. We love a good wedding (reception), especially when it comes to getting gussied up for the occasion. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of appropriate wedding attire. At the last one I attended, I saw someone wearing jeans. JEANS! Granted this was in Ohio where the hillbillies roam free (love you homeland!), but the real truth stands, no one knows how to properly dress anymore. But if you need some assistance in this area, don’t fret. Here are four types of wedding – black tie, cocktail, daytime and casual – and the breakdown of what to wear for each.

It all started in Milan, the year was 1966, when Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly walked into the city’s Gucci boutique. Roldolfo Gucci insisted Princess Grace choose a gift to complement the bamboo bag she purchased, and as every classy lady should, she requested a scarf. But no ordinary scarf was worthy of such a stunning royal, so Gucci commissioned illustrator Vittorio Accornero to create the most beautiful print he could imagine. What resulted was the famous Flora pattern, revived in 2005 by creative director Frida Giannini. And now, you can smell like this iconic floral illustration with Gucci’s The Flora Garden Fragrance Collection.
