navy and white polka dot dress – Love, Elvy and its strapless top will reveal your beautiful shoulders Lulus | Navy Polka Dot

With the right colours, fabrics, and accessories, you can look sharp and wedding-ready without overdoing it

When in doubt, its better to be overdressed than underdressed, so lean towards the smart side of smart casual. But a smart casual dress code doesnt mean you have to look stuffy or compromise your style

Her knee-length ensemble by Irish dressmaker Jean Poutch proves that a short wedding dress can look exceedingly grown up, while the flared bell sleeves and hem give it that feminine, flirty edge

Give it a little refresher to loosen it up, and to add another dash of flavor

At the same time, you do not need to worry about the dress touching objects around, guests, or getting dirty with careless movement
