We are, of course, talking about destination weddings. It’s always fun to discover a new city or region in the fun company of a large group.

Of course, an official event like a wedding requires appropriate attire — and your sundress doesn’t count. If you’re stuck on the perpetual question of what to wear, the easiest thing to do is take inspiration from the destination you’re jetting off to.
