While big, elaborate wedding gowns are awe-inspiring walking down the aisle, the reception dress, also known as the “cut-the-cake” dress, gives the bride a chance to let her hair down a bit. Going for a shorter, more relaxed dress will not only be more comfortable for the reception meet and greets, it’ll make it easier to have some fun with your guests on the dance floor! It is a celebration after all!

Below are some of our picks!

1. Calvin Klein Peplum Dress, 2. Lilly Pulitzer Kailene Dress, 3. French Connection Dancing Art Dress, 4. Max and Cleo Rose Cut Out Lace Dress, 5. Lilly Pulitzer Payton Dress, 6. Donna Morgan Ruched Bodice Dress w/ Rosettes

A well-dressed groom is the best complement to the gorgeous bride. We’ve gathered a few of our current favorites for the springtime groom—particularly for a more low-key outdoor wedding.

A daytime outdoor event allows the groom to have a little more fun with his ensemble, stepping out of the usual black-tie tux and into something more relaxed and perhaps something a little unconventional.

For this week’s Stylist Spotlight, we’re getting to know a little bit about stylist Stephanie H. Check out the fun and casual-chic ensemble she put together just for us!

What do you do at Zappos?

S: I am the stylist for all of the casual brands. Sometimes, I become the unofficial studio DJ as well!

What are a couple of fun facts about you? 

S: I have a photographic memory and technically cheat when playing word games or the like. Muahaha! I also like to get people laughing, usually at the expense of making myself look like an idiot.

Describe your personal style:

S: I don't have a set style, but I tend to lean towards softer feminine clothes, lots of peach and nude shades.

What was your last Zappos purchase, or what is your dream purchase?:

S: These days, I'm really digging thigh-high socks and tall boots with short dresses or skirts. I spent a bit too much on several tri-packs of Volcom and Free People knee/thigh highs.

What are your top 4 favorite brands at Zappos.com?

S: BB Dakota, Calvin Klein, BCBGeneration and Splendid
