The Season of Weddings is Upon us!!

By: Kim Solimini

It is March and wedding season is right around the corner! The “unofficial” kickoff of is Memorial Day weekend straight through to Labor Day. I work part time as a Wedding Coordinator, and I get to witness first hand the many, many beauties of a wedding.

My life is an even mix of being involved in weddings from the professional point of view of managing the day for the bride & groom and their families, being in weddings as a bridesmaid to my friends and family, and being a guest at weddings. I have to say, I equally love all three perspectives and each are unique and distinctive experiences.

With the approach of wedding season, comes the wedding cocktail dress. When you are not working the event or directly involved with the event, you get to enjoy the event as a guest, wearing a fabulous cocktail dress that you spent countless hours searching to find that perfect one!

This year I kick off my wedding season being a bridesmaid in May, followed with working some weddings in June, but that does not mean that I don’t appreciate the shop for the perfect cocktail dress. Here are some options to fit the trends of this year!
