Haute off the press! These after party dresses spotted in real weddings are the delightful frivolities we never knew we needed. From glittery peach + pink minis that would grab even ABBA’s attention to feathery column sheaths that feel more like a Greek goddess has entered the chat, these pretty party pieces sure turned our heads. A few of the themes we’ve noticed across the board? 1) COMFORT. One of the key reasons you go for an outfit change in the first place is the opportunity to slip into something more comfortable that will ideally allow you to get footloose + fancy free on the dance floor! 2) Flirty embellishments. Ostrich feathers, floral appliques, mirror ball sequins, statement bows, winged panels, Gatsby fringe, pearl beads, puff sleeves, botanic motifs, ruffled tulle… You get the picture – make it fun. 3) Simple silhouettes. We love us some shimmies + shakes, and the best way to optimize the inevitable twists you’ll employ once the Britney mashup drops is to go for a silhouette that’s easy to move around in. Maxi or mini, it’s your perogative. Shall we look through some of our favorite looks from real weddings now?
