If you’re anything like us, Netflix’s Emily in Paris, starring the captivating Lily Collins, soared to the top of our binge-list last fall. A charming portrayal of a young American woman adjusting to her new job and life in the City of Lights, Emily in Paris is as bright and airy as the spring wedding season that’s come to greet us. Part of the show’s magnetic draw comes from its bold and unique take on American-in-Paris fashion: Emily layers striking prints, patterns, textures, and colors to create vibrant and youthful looks that glimmer with European romance. Inspired by the hit show and the first days of flowers blooming, we’ve curated Emily in Paris inspired outfits for your spring wedding that are as inviting as the streets of Paris.

Bridesmaids

Bold And Romantic Emily In Paris Inspired Outfits For Your Spring Wedding Bridesmaids Look

Floral and flowy or monochrome and slightly structured? Both gowns are perfect Emily-inspired options for your bridesmaids. Asymmetrical necklines and midi dresses are two of 2021’s biggest bridesmaid trends. Hemant and Nandita’s floral midi dress comes with a detachable belt. Keep it for a waist-cinching detail with a hint of gold or let the gown flow freely for a modern and breezy bridesmaid look. Brides favoring a classic bridesmaid look will adore Roland Mouret’s silk-blend organza-jacquard midi dress, whose blush color, pleated skirt, and gently puffed sleeve are the quintessential feminine. Brides seeking the mismatched bridal party trend can easily incorporate both of these looks into their ceremony: florals and pinks go hand in hand, especially when respectively paired with Stuart Weitzman leather sandals and pink suede Louboutins.

Reception

Bold And Romantic Emily In Paris Inspired Outfits For Your Spring Wedding Reception Look

Known for putting her own modern twists on classic conventions, Emily would trade in classic white for a lively metallic gown to dance the night away at her reception.

These Malone Souliers pumps sport a curved design that breathe the latest trends into style staples like stiletto heels and pointed toes. A Lelet NY studded ponytail cuff and pink Rafe geometric clutch nod to Emily’s flair for modern and unique accessories and complete your playful, nighttime look.
