Butter Yellow is the Hue
What It Is: The color of the year happens to be the perfect shade for the spring season in butter yellow. This hue is both delicate and bold while remaining light enough to pass as a colorful neutral and saturated enough to stand out from the crowd.
How to Make It Wedding Guest-Ready: Wearing butter yellow calls for a great stylistic eye to make it look spring fashion-forward and not like you’re still roomenating on the memories of Easter fashions past. To make it work, find the perfect shade that works best for your skin tone. For those with an olive or yellow undertone, finding a butter yellow that leans more into the green undertone will work best, while if you’re more red or pink undertoned with your skin, opting for a butter yellow with an orange-y undertone will bring out your best, most vibrant self. And if you’re a little scared to try the bold color, try incorporating it within your accessories with a statement shoe or jacket to top off your wedding day look.

Boho Is Back & Chicer Than Ever
What It Is: Think Lisa Bonet and Cree Summer in the nineties if they were to dress today in The Row, Coach’s recent rebrand and immediately claim they don’t have to hop on the Kendrick Lamar “flared jean” trend since they were already in on the style way before it was deemed “cool”. The return of “Boho Chic” as the style world has claimed its to be is a fun one being added to the fashion landscape. Marked by the mixing of textures like suede and leather, the use of mixed metals and intricate and interesting detailing, the boho chic trend is perfect for brides and wedding guest attendees looking to bring an earthy yet timeless vibe that is both regal and free-flowing to their wedding day fashions.
How to Make It Wedding Guest-Ready: We would opt for adding in a suede bag of some sort (i.e. a clutch or hobo bag) to your look as a boho touch or using bell bottomed silhouetted pants or sleeves as an added flair. And if you’re looking to go all out, shop for garments with intricate and ornate detailing like a woven design or tie-accents.

Office Core
What It Is: If your style icons include Tracee Ellis Ross, Kelly Rowland or Issa Rae, then it’s more than likely that you’re already familiar with what the Office Core trend alludes to style-wise, even if you don’t recognize it solely by its name. Suiting, a good pump, and chic and timeless accessories is at the core of this trend and by honing in on finding your best tailoring fit and knowing the silhouettes that work best for your curves, you are one step closer to being the #OfficeSiren of your dreams.
How to Make It Wedding Guest-Ready: A suit is always a cool, calm and collected choice that has a high success rate for those looking to make a fashionable splash. Brands like Off-White, Balenciaga, La Voûte and The Frankie Shop have mastered the art of designing the perfect suit. As for styling in Office Core, outfit additions like chic belts, cool glasses and timeless closed-toe heels show that you’re ready for a good time but also mean serious fashion business. For wedding guests who don’t want to do too much for the big day but also want to show off their immaculate style POV, the Office Core trend is your best and brightest bet.

Tulle, Silk, Organza and Everything Delicate
What It Is: Tulle, silk and organza have been on the style rise all season this spring and with their varying flows yet central value of movement they bring, they each make for an ideal choice when it comes to finding a fun and interesting fabric to guide your wedding day look with. Each delicate and soft in appeal, what makes each of them interesting is how they each vary in mobility. As for tulle, you get a more voluminous vibe while organza adds depth and silk brings the perfect flow. In other words, these three, lightweight and delicate fabrics are ideal for the incoming sunny weather and fashion looks you want to serve at your wedding day obligations.
How to Make It Wedding Guest-Ready: For us, we’d use silk to guide our dress choices, tulle for skirts and organza for all things tops. If you’re looking to wear organza, find tops and blouses that have dynamic shape and play with silhouette and necklines. This way, it brings out the highest potential of the organza fabrication. For those looking to play with tulle, find skirts that vary in length for a legion of options when searching to find your best one. From mini to floor-length, tulle is pliable enough to accommodate all lengths and look good on any of its wearers. And as for silk, keep it classic and find a column dress or midi dress that hugs your curves just right and offers you a classy and graceful look for you to rock for your spring wedding calendar.
