With a vast variety of options from free flowing silhouettes, delicate florals, and bold styles, you’ll walk into any reception confident, effortless, and elegant. As the save the dates roll in for those spring and early summer weddings, we’re taking a look at some of our go-to wedding looks. Whether you’re in your backyard, a black tie venue, or somewhere in between, we have a look for you.
Love has Sprung:
our Spring Wedding Guide
A Casual Ceremony
For weddings with a laid back bride and a simple yet stunning outdoor venue, we’re looking to our lightweight cotton styles that help you beat the heat while still looking fabulous. Our top choice is the Caterina Long Dress in the blue Magnolia print. This is the look that is both delicate and bold. We love this stand alone piece for outdoor weddings, beachfront receptions, and destination wedding welcome drinks. Add a white sandal, and our Blue Coral Hoops for a look that’s sure to win you best dressed (besides the bride, of course). And don’t forget to add our Cashmere Wrap for when the temperature dips that evening.
Outdoor Nuptials
For the weddings that have stunning outdoor backdrops, an ensemble that’s both formal and lightweight is a must. That’s why our wedding looks always keep style, weather, and a flattering cut in mind. First up is our forever favorite duo–the Liza Cotton Tunic paired with the Carol Maxi Skirt. The look is equal parts elevated and effortless making it a no-brainer for the wedding you’ve been looking forward to all year. We love complimenting the Raspberry Grandiflora print with blue accessories from a baby blue heel to a sea-colored clutch. Don’t forget to pack a small accordion fan for those extra hot ceremonies.
The Sophia Sheer Dress is our chic, go-to staple. In the Magnolia print, this baby blue masterpiece over the Caterina Mini Dress in the matching print will have you turning heads and feeling breezy. The silky, sheer fabric is lightweight enough for a hot outdoor reception while still providing coverage. Plus the fabric is wrinkle-resistant making it our favorite travel companion for those destination celebrations.
A Night to Remember
Black tie doesn’t mean uncomfortable. AvA has worked to design styles that use silky smooth fabrics and movement-filled silhouettes so that you can be fabulous and comfortable the whole night through. Because we believe women should look and feel their best no matter the occasion. The Karla Sheer Hoodie Gown is one of our most luxurious looks yet with fabric that feels smooth against the skin, a lightweight hood that can be worn up for dramatic effect or down as a cowl neckline, and a silhouette that’s both flattering and filled with movement. Layer over the Caterina Long Dress in the matching print to complete the romantic look. Plus the wide sleeve and brilliant red Coral Grandiflora print adds even more flare. We’re finishing off the look with our highest heels, a designer clutch (we went for YSL), and a smokey eye.
Ocean Views
Destination beachside weddings are a personal favorite of ours. We’re wearing looks that are elevated yet lightweight and ones that will carry us from the reception one night to poolside lounging the next. Plus we’re always on the hunt for packable looks with wrinkle-resistant fabrics. With an asymmetrical neckline, our elegant Geraldine Sheer Dress will help you stand out from the crowd while still being timeless, effortless, and sophisticated. Layer the Geraldine Sheer Dress over the Caterina Long Dress in our Raspberry Grandiflora print for a bold statement the night of the wedding before you spend the next day with the dress stacked over a swimsuit.
Our Magnolia Print is a delicate pale blue that pairs perfectly with our Louise Sheer Dress which features an eye-catching cowl neckline. The lightweight layer can be worn with the matching Caterina Long Dress or opt for crisp white. Another dress that can also be worn as a swimsuit topper, this look is just one example of AvA’s mission to build wardrobes that are versatile and endless.
With AvA in the mix, you’ll always have something to wear. With wrinkle-resistant fabrics, stunning floral prints, and thoughtfully designed, flattering silhouettes, AvA will be your go-to piece for everything from that wedding to vacation to errands to another wedding.
