I'm having a 10-year anniversary wedding blessing in Taormina this July. The temperature is likely to be in the 30s, and I need a dress that looks right for the occasion and will keep me cool! I'm 33, a size 10, and price isn't really an issue.

Congratulations in advance on your 10-year anniversary! The warm weather in Taormina calls for a breathable fabric in a light colour, but you also need a dress that sets you apart on your special day. Anthropologie, which recently opened a flagship store on London's Regent Street and ships internationally from anthropologie.com, has a great selection of lovely knee-length frocks in airy fabrics and gorgeous summer hues. I love this chic draped style, while this cream lace dress has a sweet vintage vibe. If you want something a bit more bridal, a jersey maxi dress is an elegant but relaxed choice, while an easy white sundress will certainly keep you cool.
