If you must wear the biggest, multi-coloured, statement hat for Royal Ascot or Kentucky Derby, then do that with a simple monotone dress, not florals
Black-tie attire is a step above formal attire, calling for sophisticated accents like satin features on tuxedos and embellishments on gowns
So one cant go wrong with embracing floral prints. If florals feel a little much, go for more subtle patterns like polka dots, nautical stripes, or tonal gingham
I always tell my brides that a dress without jewelry is like a fridge without food, it just doesnt make any sense
By opting for a fun pattern/color or exploring different pant silhouettes, you can create quite an individualized look
avoid hanging solely by the neckline to prevent the weight of the floor-length skirt from compromising the corset structure
