Destination Wedding - Savannah

Hey y'all

Savannah, the oldest city in Georgia, oozes history, charm, and southern hospitality. It beguiles with Old World glamour and romance, which is why it's a top destination for weddings.

I don't know about y'all but when I think about Georgia, I automatically think of Gone with the Wind. I don't think about it in a negative way. I think about all the beautiful dresses and Southern Belles. I think of well dressed gentlemen and gentile ladies. I think of full skirts and parasols. I love old southern style. I think it requires you to hold yourself a certain way to carry it properly.

The experts at Rent the Runway know that Savannah style is more sweetness and gentility than formal finery, which is reflected in the styles they've carefully selected for a summer wedding in Savannah. 

SO... What is the right style for a Savannah wedding? Styles for a Savannah wedding include Floral prints and Full skirts. Brights, Florals, Full skirts, and Ladylike lace are the most prominent designs for the southern destination of Savannah.

I'm a plus size chica who has a more dark southern style. Even with my personal style, I am able to find gorgeously appropriate styles to wear to the most southern of weddings.

These are my 3 favorites for a Savannah wedding:

Destination Wedding – The Hamptons


**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links


 Hey y'all

The legendary Hamptons is a summer playground for many East-coasters. With its beachy glamour, opulent residences, crystal blue skies, and scents of the sea, the Hamptons are a coveted spot for a summer wedding.

So… What would you wear to a Hamptons Wedding? Well let’s talk about it. Most styles seen in this area for weddings seem to involve shades of blue or maxi dresses. The designs remind me of the beach. They exude modern coolness with crisp clean lines.

A Hamptons’ wedding fits my personal style easily. I consider myself to be a breezy, tropical kind of girl. The only drawback for me is that I feel like my style maybe a bit too beachy casual for a wedding. I hate going out to buy fancy clothes that I'm only going to wear once, but there is a company who has all of that covered for people like me and possibly you too.


The company is Rent The Runway. They offer a huge selection of clothing and accessories. They also offer a wide range of sizes from petite to plus. So there is definitely something for just about everyone.

Now back to this Hamptons’ Wedding...

These are my 3 favorite styles
