Summertime is basically a breeding ground for wedding invitations and a graveyard for one-and-done dresses you've worn to each. While weddings are definitely about supporting the happy couple, wanting to look as amazing as possible is far from a crime. We support a glamorous dress moment, even if it does result in you getting maybe a little too much attention on someone else's special day. Sorry, we're not sorry.
