For two consecutive years, I have attended two beautiful autumn weddings — the first, my best friend Elliot’s from high school; the second, my best friend John’s from law school.

This question came in from a reader about what to wear to a Puerto Rican-style wedding.

One of our fabulous travelistas on the go, go, go is taking a fabulous trip to Puerto Rico to attend a wedding.

It’s the last hurrah for the bride and a chance for all her best girlfriends to get together. Bachelorette parties (or stagettes elsewhere) vary according to the type of activities in which you will be partaking.

In most parts of the country, June is wedding month. In Texas and the South, our Octobers pile up with wedding invitations because the worst of the heat is finally over, but for some couples it just makes sense to get hitched in the middle of the winter.
If you’re of a certain age, you’ve probably accumulated a sensible collection of summery cocktail dresses, and a solid stash of belts, shoes, and purses to mix between them during particularly busy — and traditionally timed — wedding seasons. But what are the rules for dressing up when it’s cold and blustery outside? Keep reading for our tips on what to wear to a winter wedding.
Anyone who’s ever been a bridesmaid in a wedding knows full well what happens to that poofy, sad dress after its moment has passed. It ends up in the back of the closet in its original dryclean plastic never to be seen by human eyes again (until you clean out your closet or move). But it doesn’t have to be a total waste! Here are some ideas on how to find a wearable place in your wardrobe for your old bridesmaid dresses.
