What To Wear To A Summer Wedding?

The first and obvious choice is a comfortable dress that lets your skin breath and is of a light material. Heavy fabrics are a big no-no, as they tend to stick to you and weigh you down. And if you are a close friend of the bride, you can expect a lot of running around.
