The weather in Georgia has been flirting with spring the past week or so. And I can’t say that I’m mad about it. While fall and winter have lots to offer regarding fashion: cashmere sweaters, coats, boots, scarves, and mittens, there’s something to be said about shedding a layer or two and showing some skin and that brand spanking new pedicure. It’s the perfect dress for wedding season with a pair of sassy shoes.
Perfect dress for wedding season
Bright colors are trending for spring 2022; saffron and green are seen everywhere, and oversized blazers find their power in volume. But black and white are here to stay, so I couldn’t resist a flirty black and white dress with subtle shades of purple throughout. An asymmetric ruffled hem adds a hint of feminity while the chiffon fabric adds movement. What can I say about the smocked waist, except it’s flattering and forgiving?!
As we head into spring special occasions are on the horizon with Easter, Mother’s Day, Graduations, and Weddings. This dress ticks all the boxes and is available at my favorite retailer, Nordstrom. As a matter of fact, my white sandals, black sandals, and black quilted handbag harken from Nordstrom too. It’s one-stop shopping at its best!
Today, I’m showcasing two pairs of sandals with this perfect dress for wedding season. One black and one white from Vince Camuto and Sam Edelman, respectively. Both brands are available at Nordstrom. What I love about both shoes is the of the moment square toe. Footwear is an easy way to incorporate trends into your wardrobe without going over the top. Add a pointy-toe pump or jewel-encrusted sandals, and this dress has special occasion written all over it. Or keep the shoes simple, and you’re ready for the weekend.
A simple white canvas handbag (old, similar here and here) ties back to the white sandals.

A few of my favorite things about Nordstrom.
- free shipping and returns by mail or in-store
- buy online pick up in store
- curbside pick up (no muss, no fuss. Nordstrom brings your merchandise to you while you wait in your car)
- the Nordy club earns 1 point per dollar, status based on spend, and enjoys perks to beauty and style workshops, curbside pickup, and the first to shop select brands.

I have to say both shoes are a miss. The dark ankle strap and clunky heal cut you leg and take away from the floaty feminine dress. The white sandal reads tailored and looks off next to ruffles. Put those gorgeous legs in a beautiful feminine pump or a more delicate strappy sandal please!
I like that dress on you and, gosh, the price is right! Wrong colors for me but still very pretty.
It’s beautiful dress for the church, but not dressy enough for the reception. In Chicago many ppl change between church/reception.
The brand mentions that their clothes are for the younger woman and her lifestyle. That being said, I think it looks as good on you as it does on the model. It’s not a style I’d wear because it’s too voluminous for my frame (esp. the sleeves), but it’s pretty for a garden party or lunch or dinner out — for those who do this, of course.
Help. I need a summer wedding dress for a formal wedding. I probably won’t wear full length, but Ibcan wear midi or tea length well because I’m tall. Want top of arms covered, and something to camouflage my stomach, where I carry oat my weight. Thighs and butt are much smaller! Help please. The wedding will be in Utah
It appears that longer dresses appear to be trending this spring. Do you have any hints or tips for wearing longer dresses. I’m rather short and longer isn’t the best look for me.
Wouldn’t it be fun for if all of the women who are already married and are invited to attend a wedding had to wear their wedding gowns?
I really have mixed feelings about this dress. I love the ruffled asymmetric hem, the flowing, soft fabric and the nice deeper neckline. What I’m not sure I’m crazy about is the smocking at the waist. It just seems to add fullness, where most don’t want it. It is fun to start seeing spring and summer wear. I’m REALLY tired of my winter clothing. I know we are just in mid February, but winter seems to be dragging on this year.
Hi Beth,
Thank you for a great post! I always struggle with what to wear to a wedding and this dress is lovely. I just ordered it. I also appreciate the various shoe options that you have shown with the dress. After many foot surgeries, high heels are out for me but you have offered many lovely mid heel options. Thank you!
It’s a lovely dress and well styled. Love your pedi!
