It seems like as we hit our late 20s and 30s, being invited to weddings becomes such a common thing. There's nothing like seeing our close friends and family declare their love to their partner through their vows—it's such a beautiful thing. As a guest, you also get a chance to get dolled up and put your best look forward—especially for a black tie wedding.
Typically held later in the day or early evening, these ceremonies are the perfect occasion for you to pull out that dress that's been sitting in the back of your closet or to buy something new. They're always on the fancier side, so you’re allowed to arrive looking like you're pulling up for the Oscars.
Everything from floor length gowns, form-fitting, and asymmetric dresses are welcomed. Summer Black tie weddings call for you to show a little skin, so why not go for it.
Not to take away any attention from the bride, but to look your best this season, EBONY has found ten of the perfect dresses for you. From sequins, sparkle, satin and draping, these dresses let the girls know you’re catching the bouquet tonight.
