Your Mission: Relax And Decompress

You've worked hard for those vacation days so what's the use in coming back to work exhausted? Our recipe for a truly rejuvenating wedding weekend: wear a floaty dress and flats, pack a few stress-reducing, spa-like goodies in your bag and call it an early night when things start to get messy.

Your Mission: Turn A Few Heads

Whether you're running into the one that got away or being set up with a single chap your friends just know you'll hit it off with, a wedding is the perfect opportunity to go full-on #smokeshow. Think: a little black dress, oxblood nails, and Bardot-worthy shorts for the day-after brunch.

Your Mission: Party Like It's 1999

Sometimes regular life gets stressful and a weekend filled with dancing, pool partying and touristy fun is just what the doctor ordered. Pack a pop-color dress and some adventure-appropriate post-wedding gear and you've got a recipe for a great, selfie-filled weekend.

Your Mission: Have A Fairytale Romance

So what if you have "All You Need Is Love" on repeat in the hotel room and a three-page rehearsal dinner speech memorized by heart? Weddings are romantic and it's more than okay to dive right into the spirit of things with a dreamy floral dress and tons of girly-girl extras.
