Tea-dress

There is no shortage of 30–40s style tea-dresses in the market, make sure you buy something belted to accentuate your waist.

Maids of honor Tess Vargas and Heather Chandler wore oyster-colored tea-dresses of antique lace, and like the groom, best man J.T. Forbes had on a tux.

In the end I went for a floral tea-dress with a pair of Chelsea boots: feminine enough to show off my (fake) tanned legs but not so try-hard that I looked as if I wanted to steal Shannon’s fiancé.
