With Spring 2016 officially here, there’s no doubt that romance is in the air and spring nuptials are on the calendar. If you’re invited to a wedding in the weeks ahead, you may be rifling through your closet in search of a perfect early spring look which won’t upstage the bride!  For the season of blossoming flowers and sunny skies, slip into sweet dusty pinks and accessorize your ensemble with dainty accent pieces. Here’s how to achieve a flawless and versatile outfit, which can easily take you from a conservative wedding reception to the after party.

1) Tadashi Shoji Illusion Yoke Lace Sheath Dress, $557: The refreshing petal pink shade of this demure sheath dress can flatter a variety of skin tones. Meanwhile, the dainty cap sleeves, intricate yoke and swirling lace detail help to complete the style.

2) Giuseppe Zanotti Design Contrasted Toe Cap Pumps, $977: With an understated pale pink colour scheme setting the mood for your look, these sleek leather pumps can help to create a striking effect. The pastel pink shade is ultra-feminine, while the black cap toes and stiletto heels add drama.

3) Jessica McClintock ‘Noelle’ Lace Clutch, $77: For a contrasting effect against your ladylike frock, try picking up this black box clutch which is adorned with floral lace and tiny sequins. The crystal accents on the clasp and gold metallic detail also offer a glamorous finishing touch.

4) Carolee Gold-Tone Pavé and Imitation Pink Pearl Button Earrings, $56: With high heels and elaborate lace effectively ruling your look, there’s no need to sport a chunky collar necklace or cocktail ring. These vintage chic button earrings complement the shade of your frock, without bringing excess glitz and glitter into a timeless sartorial statement. The pink faux pearls, surrounding crystals and gold-tone detail are all a gorgeous touch.
