Let’s talk about summer weddings. After receiving your invitation, the next thing to do is to start looking for a dress to wear. Summer weddings call for florals or colorful hues. If it's a cocktail affair, a monochromatic, black ensemble is acceptable attire, but we like shades and prints with a bit more of a wow factor. For outdoor summer weddings, stay cool with breezy cuts, shoulder-baring necklines or those with shorter hemlines. For indoor ceremonies, go for the drama with a floor-length maxi or a chic tea dress. 

Stun in the ruffly, off-the-shoulder number from The Lulo Project, a Black-owned brand. For the budget conscious-set, H&M and Zara make chic dresses that won't break the bank. Whatever look you choose for your friend's or relative's big day, just being there is a show of love and support. Below, catch our round-up of 10 dresses that you won't be afraid to catch the bouquet in.
