weds-day: what to wear before and after

When I picture my wedding, I think about allllll the wonderful outfits I get to wear - not just the dress. As soon as we began planning, my mind was instantly brainstorming what I would wear to the rehearsal dinner, getting ready, and to the next day's brunch. Leave it to me to make things extra complicated, but it really jazzes me up. As you may or may not know, there is a huge sale going on at Shopbop right now (use code BIGEVENT15 for 15% off 250+). In an effort to show you my favorite picks from their current inventory, the mood boards below consist of their pieces only (there's no incentive for me to do this, I just love sales and I love weds-day).

 

Here's what I'm thinking:

I've been dreaming about layering in some lamé for the wedding. I love the subtle sexiness of this dress, and I appreciate the pop of color and metal mixing that the shoe adds. A low chignon with some statement earrings rounds out this look for me.

Ever since Juicy Couture's sweatsuits, I've always wanted a monogrammed sweatsuit for my wedding. I still kind of want one, even though I know I will be judged for it. Above is a modern alternative - cheeky sweatshirt, uber comfy sweats, pedicure friendly sandals, and a coveted make up bag (do any of you own a bag by Anya Hindmarch? I've heard wonderful things). The only thing missing from this mood board is a hefty dose of Klonipan...

Post-wedding brunch will likely be a nod to my favorite outfit - Rag and Bone black denim, Alexander Wang tee, and sneaks. Hmm, maybe I'll spring for some Yeezy Boosts.

What did you all wear for your pre and post wedding festivities? Any suggestions or tips? I'd love to hear!
