Fashion blogger I am not, but I sure did have a lot of fun pretending to be one! With a little extra time before the wedding this past Saturday, Gary snapped a few photos of my outfit and there were more outtakes than usable photos, but it was fun nonetheless! Last week I worea bright dress to a late afternoon wedding and this weekend I opted for another brightly colored dress! I think it’s important to remember that there are far more color options that just black to wear to weddings, especially with the season and time of day you’re attending the wedding!

I find that most people, myself included are more perplexed with what to wear to early afternoon/late afternoon Summer weddings – especially if no form of dress is given on the invitation! I’ve rounded up a few wedding, bridal shower or even engagement party dresses that more than live up to any event!
What are some of your favorite colors to wear to Summer weddings?
That color is so gorgeous on you, lady! And I love the feminine pleats! The bag and wedges are the perfect accessories! 🙂
LOVE this!!! You seriously are rocking the orange girl. You look amazing! And I love the little purse with it's hint of orange too! So gorgeous!!!

Could've fooled me model model!!!! You look amazing and are posing like a pro!!! I love those MK wedges and have them in black. Great for the afternoon weddings vs. a high heel. And you know I am over the moon for that dress!! Happy Tuesday sweets!

Love! You look great and I love the other picks you chose too. Some people definitely need help in this department. There were a handful of wedding guests wearing stuff that was so weird/gaudy at my wedding that people still mention to me over a year later haha
That color looks SO gorgeous on you…I love the whole look! You are better at posing then I am…haha 🙂
I love that you chose a bright color for the wedding instead of black. It's so fun and refreshing, plus it looks great in pictures!

You should jump on this fashion blogger status more often. You're a natural! And yes yes yes to fun colors for weddings!
Gorgeous!! That color looks amazing on you. Love your sandals so much! The colors you found in the dresses are so pretty! I love that fuschia pink, but am not sure it suits me. The green lace is amazing! I am gonna need a dress for a wedding in late Sept! xo
Lovely dress. It's easy to see on your face you feel comfortable with it. Good choice!
You already know I love this dress but you look soo gorgeous in these photos! Your dress picks are on point as usual!
You look fab! Great color on you. What do you think about the AK watch?! I want one!

Hi there, pretty girl! This dress is so fun! And I agree- bright + cocktail length is the way to go for afternoon weddings!

That dress is totally your color! I love all your picks and totally agree I think color is the way to go!
Please. You could easily be a fashion blogger!!! Love bright colors for summer – with materials that move or stay cool!
Great outfit and loving your pink picks! So bright and summery 🙂

Bright colored dresses are perfect for semi-formal summer weddings! Especially since white is out of the question, it's fun to get a bit crazy with the color you chose to wear 🙂
Hahah! That's usually how it goes with me when Adam takes my pics – 2 great photos for every 25 that are snapped 😉 You look beautiful hunn! xx
I love a fun, bright colored dress! I think this is the perfect way to go for a Summer wedding, especially with no dress given. It can read as dressy or less dressy depending on the event, and fits in perfectly!
What a perfect dress! I have such issue wearing orange, but it's a color I definitely want to work on. So pretty and vibrant! (:
You look beautiful in your pictures! Gary is a good photographer too. 🙂 I love your dress too, that color is amazing. I have a pair of MK wedges that are similar, yours are cute too. I hope that you have a lovely day too lady!! 🙂
Love your selection of dresses!! A bright dress is perfect for a summer wedding!

That color looks gorgeous on you!

Going with something lightweight and colorful will always work for an afternoon wedding….save the LBD for a night wedding!

Work it girl! Such a pretty color on you!
You look beautiful! Great roundup of dresses, too – they are great for any occasion!
You are rocking that dress! I'm loving all the fun, colored picks you found! Suddenly I'm really missing being able to wear whatever I want, ha ha!
Beautiful as always! I am def feeling the orange and gold combo!
You look beautiful! Love that dress. I totally miss C Wonder, loved that store.
As I mentioned yesterday, I am obsessed with this orange dress! And it looks so cute with the C.Wonder bag! I'm also loving your picks for dress, especially that pink peplum one!

Love love love that dress and your wedges. I've been wanting some wedges like that! Good choices, Biana!
Love your C Wonder bag! You look gorgeous in this dress, well you always do 🙂 We have zero weddings to go to this year, crazy!
Love your dress!! Perfect color for a summer wedding!

Such pretty photos! I was just eyeing those MK wedges over the weekend! They go perfectly with your bright dress!
This was helpful. I have never been invited to an afternoon wedding, but I would have no idea what to wear. I always worry that simple dresses will look too casual, but more elaborate ones will look too night-time-ish.
I love the bright colors … & they look so fantastic on you!!!!
Gorgeous dress!!! The color is amazing on you!!!!!
Kisses,

You look so pretty Biana, that color looks great on you!
Not a lot of people can pull off that orange color, but it looks soooo good on you! great choice!
Red dresses are my absolute favorite, Biana and yours is lovely and great for an afternoon wedding. Do more outfit posts please… and thank you!

love that dress!! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Love the dress you wore and all the other ones you suggested! Finding the right dress is hard to do but I love all these dressy but still lightweight for summer options 🙂

well you make a good one! I love the orange on you and if you could send me your hair, that'd be great!
I love that color on you!! I have a sweater in a similar red-orange and I'm always getting compliments. That aside, I've only gone to one summer wedding and I rocked a bright canary yellow. 🙂
I love your picks!
Love the dress you picked. In the summer I tend to go with tan or yellow, anything that doesn't reflect the sun and shows off my tan! 😉
Beautiful dress! I love that color for summer.
I love the bright colour of your dress and that bag!

Your entire outfit is just perfection!!! That dress is such a fun color. And I really REALLY need those wedges! They are exactly what I have been looking for. And the fact that they are MK is even better!
Such pretty photos! I think there are always more outtakes than good photos! Love the color of this dress!

So pretty! I love pretending to be a fashion blogger, too. I really enjoy afternoon weddings so I don't have to dress as formally 🙂
Yes!!! I'm so glad you posted this. i'm not going to an afternoon wedding anytime soon however i went last year and it was so awkward to get ready for! my little black dress was too formal and my sundresses were too casual. wish i saw this last year, haha. but the kelly green lace is my favorite look here!
I think you look gorgeous! This color looks great on you! I love the additional bright colored dresses you included as well. Perfect for all Summer occasions! XO

So beautiful! This was a very helpful post!
So cute!! I love summer weddings so a good dress post is always useful!
Soooo many cute options! I just need more dresses in general- then I won't be at a loss come wedding season. Is the J. Simps dress red? I looked at it online and it looks more coral to me, and orange-ish in your pics! haha
Well you'd make a great fashion blogger! You look gorgeous and I love this bright dress – right up my alley!

Okay, you are SO photogenic! Love that color on you. Love your picks for what to wear! xo
That color looks amazing on you! I've been drawn to the midi silhouette lately and I love the option you shared from Nordstrom. You can't beat that price point either!
xo, Jen
Afternoon weddings are the hardest – I never know what to wear and always spend so much time thinking about it! That color is seriously such a great pick for you and I loved it combined with the navy purse – great color combo!
Love this color on you! Perfect pick!
love that color on you! looks gorgeous with your dark hair!
I love the coral one! You're totally right about wearing more than just black to weddings!
Oh that is such a gorgeous color, and that dress looks great on you lady!
I'm all about the bright colors in the spring/summer and usually stick to black only when its cold out lol. You look great!! xo
Biana you look great! Fashion blogger or not it's all about having fun! We felt really silly and awkward our first few "fashion" posts but quickly got over it. As long as you are confident and enjoy yourself that's all that matters. The outtakes are usually the best lol Love how you went bright for the wedding. Winks and Eyerolls
I have that same dress in blue and it's one of my go to wedding outfits! So pretty and perfect for an afternoon wedding!
That color looks great on you! I actually have a wedding to go to this weekend and love your ideas – thanks for sharing 🙂 – Svetlana @ Life with a Side of Wine
Love that color on you! You look so pretty. 🙂 I love bright dresses for weddings! My favorite to wear is probably hot pink.
That color looks amazing on you! Afternoon or even mid-day weddings can be so hard to dress for! I have a few go-to dresses that I keep on rotation, but I love the dress you wore, and the pink and green lace ones.
Pretty dress! Great color for a summer wedding
