It's mid-January, small wedding, church then function room at a bistro pub. I've never been to a winter wedding before so feel useless with ideas! I'm 25, a size 8 and 5'5 and would love some suggestions!

I had something from Coast for my DM's winter wedding a few years ago.

Are you wanting to buy now or in the sales?

General tips, hmm. Well, first and foremost - avoid matching shoes and bag, is dated and frumptastic.

I'd say it's well worth taking the extra time to hunt out for something with sleeves, it saves you from the near impossible task of finding a cover up that works, is warm and isn't too bulky. More importantly though, it usually looks more stylish and less cluttered. Definitely avoid things with matching wee jackets will age you horribly.

Fascinatiors are the work of the devil, almost without exception. Wee hats OTOH are grand (big hats too for that matter). But, there's usually no need for headgear unless you fancy it.

Good underwear is 8/10ths of the battle.

erm, dunno, loads of stuff.

Will have a rummage for ideas, what sort of budget are you on?

this dress is pretty much perfection

this is beautiful a wee bit of a vivian westwood feel about it.

Oo love the asos. I'm not blessed in the boob department at all, only 32b so high necks look awful. Hmm budget for dress and shoes, approx £125 Smile

I have the Zara dress ( & it appears most other things that are linked from Zara these days Blush). I also have no boobs 30a & it still looks fab - I love it Smile

See, I'd love to wear that Zara dress but I'm cursed blessed in the boob department so never could. High necklines look all matronly over my norks.

Hoping I'll find something in the coast or Karen Millen sale! The wedding is in 4 weeks and I have nothing!
