Desert weddings typically embrace a rustic aesthetic with bohemian vibes, making them the perfect occasion for an upscale jumpsuit or belted, flowy ensemble. The sun may be blazing hot during the ceremony, but the desert is famously freezing after dark, so remember to bring a cover-up or jacket that matches just in case.

Mountaintop views, wooded surroundings and rustic romance abound, a perfect chance for you to experiment with sweet florals, soft materials, and dainty belts. Because forest destinations often include a hike from the parking lot to the venue, it may be wise to bring a spare pair of shoes for the walk before slipping into your heels at the event.
