This is where I come in, always on hand to help you out...how nice am I? Ahaha but seriously, I understand how tricky it is to dress for a summer wedding, especially if it's a destination wedding.

My number one tip would be to make sure you find a dress where the fabric is something light, airy and where possible, natural (such...
