So let's dive right into wedding 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.080 season styling. And by the way, the fact that she 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.479 thinks we won't talk about bridle gowns is crazy, So 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:50.360 we will touch. 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.000 On I don't want the bride.

I am in the season of 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.479 my life where I'm past the six to seven wedding 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.319 commitments a year or summer. 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:11.200 My nephew has eleven yeah weddings this year and actually 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:12.720 all destination. 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.280 Yes, I think from the ages of like twenty six 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.560 to thirty two, I couldn't a fortification because I was 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.240 attending as many weddings as I as I could. 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.600 Can you make them vacations though, Like. 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.360 If they're a destination wedding, you can definitely tack on 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.039 a day or two before or after. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.440 It's also the time of your life where you're working, 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.040 like you can't just take time off. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.880 And let's be honest, like if it's in NAPA, right, Like, 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.600 am I gonna burn a day off to be a NAPA? Right? 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.360 Maybe if I don't really want to be? 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.120 You know, right, totally. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.600 So it's you're at the mercy of wherever you've been 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:50.120 invited to. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:55.360 But these greattinations that I'm hearing now are like all 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.080 over Italy every budget, by the way, they're not. What 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:05.560 I'm actually is, it's weirdly more cost effective very often to. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.559 Do destination I don't know how. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.480 Yeah, I mean maybe you just keep the number so small. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.200 Yeah, well it's an edit that is sure. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.000 Yeah, yeah, it's going to eliminate some but then some. 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.040 But again, you know, you and I were just talking 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.480 about this. It's when you have big life events, it's 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.480 shocking who you invite that you think are absolutely shoe 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.560 ins that can't or aren't able to come, and then 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.760 the people on the list that are you know, maybe 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.080 not as priority will show up and half of the 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.720 best time so you never know. But wedding season is here. 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:41.120 Everyone has RSVP'd. There's a lot of questions always on 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.880 social media for you this time of year about not 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.200 only the brides but wedding guests mostly. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.040 It's a tough it's a tough conversation because there's so 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:57.880 many variables and I've seen it go wrong. Yeah, I've 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.280 seen on more than ten occasion the guests showing up 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.440 in white, which. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.040 To me is common sense, but. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:11.480 Like, maybe it's not. And I you know, it's funny. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.000 Someone texted me a picture. They were in Palm Beach 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.800 and they were texting me what I thought of something 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.400 to go to a wedding in Palm Beach And it 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:24.760 was white with like metallic like fringe and crystals and whatever. 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:29.800 And I'm like, but it's white. She's like, yeah, but 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.960 it's not because it has so many crystals and stuff. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.200 I'm like, no, do white the bride. Let me tell 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.560 you what. The bride won't care. It'll be white to her. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:38.440 White. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.200 Okay, let's jump into some questions people have about going 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:47.360 to weddings they've been invited. Sometimes there's you know, a 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.480 tire listed, sometimes there's not. So let's just break it down. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.960 What does cocktail attire mean? If the wedding invite says 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.520 cocktail attire, what does that mean? 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.480 I think till means they want you to dress up, right, 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.360 Please dress up? Don't look regular. This is not a 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.120 regular day. Please dress up for us. But like, feel 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.880 free to wear short. Like to me, when I hear cocktail, 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.600 it means you can wear short. It means you can 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.160 wear any length of dress. Yes, okay, it means you 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.080 can wear any length of dress. It means you could 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.840 wear like a dressy tuxedo, like a white suit. 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:21.360 Right. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:26.359 It means to look polished and whatever your interpretation of 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:31.320 that is. Please don't wear sneakers, right, Please don't wear jeans, right, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.520 you know what I mean? And like, put some effort 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.359 in and dress up for us. But you don't have 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.360 to be formal, gotcha, you know what I mean? 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.480 And there's a huge gray area there. Yeah, you could also. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.200 Wear long, but the difference there would be you're not 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:45.719 wearing a train for cocktail. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:46.360 Right. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.560 You could wear flowy, but I would wear your hair down. Yeah, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.320 and I would wear like fun jewelry, not like your 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.880 diamond necklace, right if you should have one, if. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.280 You should wear fau diamond necklace. Yeah, you know what 0:04:59.320 --> 0:04:59.600 I mean. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.719 Okay, So what does cocktail attire mean for men? Because okay, 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.560 as most of our listeners know, you're also you're not 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.440 only dressing yourself but a wedding, but you're dressing your 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:10.839 plus one usually totally. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.320 I would say cocktail for men means no tie. Okay 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.880 to me, that's no tie, yep, formal is tie? 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.400 So like a suit, a nice crisp shirt, uh huh, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:24.520 but no no tie. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:24.919 Correct. 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.640 You also don't have to wear a white shirt, right. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.960 That could be like a navy jacket and a blue shirt. 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.800 It could be a pink shirt and a white jacket. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:32.640 Depends on the vent. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.480 When I say there's so many variables, it's like, Okay, 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.119 are you in cocktail at a beach? 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.320 Right? You in the city? Are you in Italy? Like? 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.159 Because all of those things weigh in, right, because cocktail 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.240 when you're in Italy on the Amalfi Coast, like, you 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.799 should wear a print, right, you know what I mean? 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:55.359 Like to me, cocktail the type of clothes don't change 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.760 based on the venue. Just the fabric will change, right, sure, 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.000 Like a man can wear a suit if it's a 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:02.880 cocktail at the beach or whatever. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:07.479 But wear cocktail for a man, you wear a jacket, Yes, 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.640 you wear a jacket. You can wear kackis. You can 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.760 wear trousers and like driving loafers or something. 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.400 It's like a drop a nicer shoe. Yes, yes, Okay, 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:20.159 that clears that up. Now, what does black tie or 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.239 formal mean when it's on an imitation? 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:22.680 Okay? 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.640 So black tie means tuxedo means a tux. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.520 Black tie is a tux. Now, I do think there is. 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.919 Some room for guys to wear a black suit with 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.920 a black tie and not a bow tie. Right, But 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.560 black tie is your most formal. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.479 Yep, formal the Great Gatsby correct. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:51.000 Formal is a full suit and tie for a guy. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:51.600 Yep. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:57.080 For a woman, black tie means full gown, gown, gown long, 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.280 not short. You're not wearing not midi. 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.480 No, but you can. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:07.760 Wear midi if it's fabulous, do you know what I mean? 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:08.280 Like? 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.000 You can because there is like no midi sun dress 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:17.840 like Kuriti car acts actual like sequence or sparkle of sorts, 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:22.040 speeded something. A very dressy dress does not have to 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.760 have a train necessarily, but you are your most dressed 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.000 whatever that is. Like even if you look back at 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.200 the Great Gatsby. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.520 A lot of those were right, they were many MIDI right, 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.440 so yeah, but it just means not short in my opinion. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:37.200 Got it? So black tie? 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.800 I don't know, I'll be honest with you. In La 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.160 I see short for black tie all the time. So 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.760 I also think it depends on where you live. In Paris, 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.240 in London, in Europe, you're not wearing short to a 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.960 black tie, right, yeah, calamarian, Yeah, I mean I have 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.600 literally seen people wear jeans to a black tie. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.080 Oh yeah, shook me out. 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.280 Yeah that's not great. No, so when you see black tie, 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.000 you go full gown? 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:01.239 Yeah, full stop. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.119 Yeah I am in a gown for a black tie 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.120 for sure, exactly. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.840 I also think it's a great way to like. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.320 Look at it as like a moment, you know, like 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:11.880 how often do you get to do that? I mean 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.840 some people more than others, of course, but like it's 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.640 a moment. And I would say formal is one notch 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.480 down from black tie. I think formal gives you a 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.840 little more room for interpretation. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.080 But the idea with formal is please dress up very much. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.640 Yes, yeah, yeah, be dressy yes, okay, other than wearing white. 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:38.280 What do you think are some don'ts or wedding guest 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.439 faux pause that you've seen in your life? 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.000 Anything that reads bridle? 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:51.720 Yeah, Like anything that reads that sort of like lacey. Yeah, 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.679 Like don't wear a pink lace gown. Yep, like a 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.760 blush pink lace gown. I have seen someone wear like 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.760 a beautiful dulce gown with the train to a wedding. Yep, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.480 it's a bridal gown that happens to be blushed pink. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:05.800 I think that's a. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.880 Little, very nice, little but because I will even ask 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:14.079 sometimes what the bridesmaids are wearing, because I've had an 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:20.520 experience that I come looking like a bootleg bridesmaid because 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.120 I'm wearing, you know, a navy whatever, and they're a 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.000 navy too, So I think that for women you should 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:27.720 ask that too. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:28.319 I agree. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.600 I mean, I think the more information you have about 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.280 the bride and what the bridal party is doing, the 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.080 better if you are. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.360 Have you ever heard don't wear red to a wedding? 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:41.959 No? I have not. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.640 I saw that recently online. Yeah, to avoid wearing red 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.880 at a wedding. I don't know, maybe it calls too 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:55.760 much attention to yourself or maybe it's bad, like bad juju. 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.560 I don't know, but I saw like, oh, don't wear that. 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.000 It's red. You shouldn't wear red. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.720 And I was like, Oh, that's wild. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.720 That's interesting. So maybe avoid white and red. 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:10.840 Wow, Okay, No, I haven't heard that, but I mean, yeah, 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.439 I guess it does call attention. 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.000 Yeah, I mean I guess red does, and maybe, you know, 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.240 in a good way and in a bad way, So 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:24.040 I kind of get that. Okay, you were talking about 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.440 this earlier, But opera gloves are very much back on 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.320 the red carp but ar and they're back in the 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:31.640 bridal world there. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:33.880 But I don't think they ever left. I think it's 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:34.360 so chic. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.679 Oh really, Okay, I mean I guess they left. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.360 They come and go, but I think I see European 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:40.360 brides wearing gloves. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.319 But I'm very I'm very. 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:49.760 Strange about bridal things because that's where like my classic 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:55.000 traditionalism comes out, because that day, to me, is not 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:56.040 a trendy day. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:01.840 It's not a day to fall victim to what's trending. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:06.760 It's really like, when I think about anything bridal, whether 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.800 it's the wedding or anything else, what are you you 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.680 are going to look back at these pictures for the 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:13.400 rest of your life? 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:14.000 Yes, forever? 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.520 What are you going to love forever? And not? Listen? 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.800 Not everybody knows that, but I think you go to. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.680 The Grace Kelly's of the world, Like, yes, you go 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.679 to those iconic like Kate Middleton moments, you know, and 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.600 you look at like, what are your most iconic favorite 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:36.160 bridal moments in history? Yeah, and pull off that right 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.599 if that resonates with you, because you also could be 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.640 Gwen Stefani and wear like a gradiated pink right Vivian Westwood, 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.520 which was epic, right, it was a bit rock and roll, 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.640 it was, and that's true to her and by the way, 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.720 like she's still like that, So clearly I kind of 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.720 feel like you have to be true to you and 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.120 whoever you are at the court. But I guess my 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.800 point is, think long and hard about it. I'm also 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:06.400 very traditional about rings because they're forever, So when it 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:11.559 comes to forever things, I'm very I would say I'm traditional. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.160 You're trend averse. What's the veil that's like the cap veil, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.640 the one from yeah or No, but like the short 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.360 ones that are like very like forties retro but like 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:27.040 doing somewhere Mad Hatter right to like Reese Witherspoon and 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:28.160 Sweet Came Alabama. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:28.600 Thank you? 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.000 That kind of veil. I think you should just do it, 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.360 because again, when else are you doing it? 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:33.040 Wear a veil? 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:34.920 Yeah? Where the gloves? Where are the tiara? 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.120 Where the tir? Where the gloves? Wear the veil? 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.480 Yeah? If that feels right for you, because again you 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.440 have to look back to your point. But if you're 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.480 questioning it, yeah, just do it. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:46.000 Just do it? 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:47.679 Okay? That's when? 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.160 When else are you wearing gloves a tiara in a veil? Yeah? 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.320 Never unless you like, well, unless you get married again yeah, 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.240 or you're an actor and you dress up a lot.
