Dress styles suit various venues

Simkhai offers a draped maxi dress that fits countryside or garden ceremonies. An asymmetric neckline provides extra movement for cocktail affairs. A beach wedding calls for a shell-shaped clutch from Simon Miller.

Shoes and bags add sparkle

Aqua sells strappy gold sandals with crystal-trimmed buckles for black-tie gowns. Cult Gaia provides an olive-green clutch with a wavy gold handle. Bloomingdale's lists metallic heels and conversation-starting bags as top choices.

Bold colors break neutral rules

Guests can try a bold color rather than their usual neutrals. Butter yellow pairs well with floral-print dresses in similar earthy shades. The guide suggests playing up deeper colors with burgundy heels.
