Who says you can't wear white to a wedding. I know most of us like to avoid it, but white is one of the ‘in-colours' this season and works like the LBD. Pair this beautiful lace and satin number with whatever colour you choose. I opted for an all-white look, because it creates the perfect backdrop for accessories. Whether you're in Nigeria or not, this floppy hat works great as a contrast for the white whilst keeping the sun off your face and the red feathers add a bit of pizazz to the monochrome look. When picking your clutch, I'd advise you pick a complementary colour to avoid drowning in the 'to-match' zone. Finish with a spot of colour on your lips, try MAC's Ruby or Riri Woo.
Now, go find that forgiving friend who is getting hitched, take the risk and dazzle in this pristine ensemble. And if you don't have any, wear it anyway.
