What to wear, what to wear...

I have been thinking a lot about weddings lately, not my own, but of 3 very cool ones I have coming up. One in Italy in September, one in Florida (Sarasota) in November, and finally one back home in NZ in January 2010. The last one will also be my first trip back home since I moved to New York in January 2008!

Very exciting, especially since it is being held at Whatipu Lodge which is on a beautiful stretch of black sand beach on Auckland's west coast.

Can't wait!!

The big dilemma (emma-dilemma) is what to wear to look nice and dressed up but also beach/reception appropriate?

What is a girl to do but turn to Polyvore to help envisage her options. If you haven't used Polyvore yet, head over and try it out. Its a great tool which helps you make virtual inspiration boards if you will. And you can import any image so the possibilities are endless.

Here is what I have as a first idea so far...


Beach Wedding by GauzeCelebre
I was going for a NAVY and gold theme (even though the dress looks black in the pic) and have included 1 flat and 1 high pair of shoes that I can change into as the wedding flows to and from the beach.

So what do you think? Too formal? Not formal enough? Too dark? Too 'meh'?

Lay it on me.

PS: Naturally when I was choosing accessories I went straight for the POA Prada flats and $3000 Cartier bangle. Unfortch these won't be part of my final outfit.
