sparkly light blue dress Shimmering Sequin Mermaid Prom with Spaghetti Strap a – vigocouture bridal shower Light Blue Sparkly Beaded Mermaid

Perfect for cocktail parties, evening receptions or black-tie events, this dress requires minimal accessorising - simply pair with classic court heels as shown and add statement earrings for maximum impact

Black tie optional to me means the couple does want black tie but doesn't want to pressure their guests to wear tuxedos and evening gowns since those tend to be more of an investment

Easier to wear than a thigh high boot, you likely have a pair in your closet that will look great with long, short, or just-above-the-knee black dresses

Opt for delicate jewelry, a fingertip-length veil, and slim heels

The right jewelry can transform a formal wardrobe into a trendy ensemble that is sure to impress
