Special Occasion Dress Tips by Blake and Company: New York’s Premier Mother of the Bride and Special Occasion Wholesale Dress Showroom

special occasion dresses nycHave you recently been invited to a wedding?  Spring and Summer weddings are upon us and guests must decide on what to where.  When selecting a special occasion dress there are a few tips to keep in mind.  First, let’s remember the cardinal rule: Never wear a white special occasion dress to a wedding unless you are the bride.

Okay, now that we got the obvious rule out of the way, some of the other tips may be a bit more subtle.  Do you think it’s a good idea to wear a black special occasion dress to a summer wedding?  It’s not.  Be bold, don’t bother playing it safe.  Black special occasion dresses can be used for a night on the town, but be bold and instead choose a bright special occasion dress to a summer wedding.

If you really want to make a hit this season, try a long, soft, floral print special occasion dress for a chic and trendy.  Blake and Company has many different special occasion dresses on display at our New York City Wholesale Special Occasion Dress Showroom.  We are the official dress showroom of Daymor Couture, Damianou, Ideas by Barbara, SIA SIA, Scaravelli, JSS Knitwear and VM by Mori Lee.
