Floral Fit-and-Flare Dress

03/17/15 | Banana Republic, Florida

As you may have seen on Instagram or Facebook I spent the long weekend in Florida, flying down to see my friends get married in Sarasota on Saturday and then popping down to see my parents for an evening before heading back to New York City.   I had so much fun at the wedding that I am going to have to split it into two posts, plus, two dresses means two outfit posts 🙂 

Banana Republic Floral Fit-and-Flare Dress 01

With the church ceremony not starting until 1:30pm my friends and I found a local salon and made appointments for blowouts.  Having only been to DryBar I thought it was odd that they did not wash my hair, only apply heat, but the curls did stay for the majority of the day, which is saying something considering the Florida humidity.  While the wedding was black-tie we confirmed that appropriate sundresses were allowed for the church and we could change for the ceremony – thank goodness because it was HOT.

I picked up this Banana Republic Floral Fit-and-Flare dress last week at the store and it was perfect for this occasion.  My friend Tara took the first few photos in our hotel room with the beautiful view and then a few at the fountain at the church.

It was a beautiful ceremony and my friend Dana was a stunning bride.
