Let’s all be honest: Instagram has ushered in a whole new level of competition when it comes to summer weddings. Over-the-top multi-day celebrations, exotic locales, multiple white dresses for the special day. Last summer’s ultimate fashion wedding, Giovanna Battaglia’s nuptials to Oscar Englebert in Capri, were an Instagram sensation. Although there is a new trend of banning social media from high-profile ceremonies, like that of Colby and Alberto Mugrabi’s, the pre-wedding post was the way guests like Karlie Kloss and Alessandra Brawn showed off their summer party wear en route to the chic fête. Designers like Joseph Altuzarra and Erdem Moralioglu even considered how major summer weddings have become, and enhance their offering of summer cocktail dresses to meet the demands. Whether you’re attending a formal wedding, a relaxed beachside or upstate wedding, or what is sure to be the wedding of the summer—Hannah Bronfman’s Marrakesh blow-out— here are 21 options worthy of a wedding Instagram.
