Autumn wedding outfit / dress

[CocktailSausage]

I'm attending the wedding of a close family relative later on in the month. As it is close to the Christmas party season I'm having some issues finding something appropriate as my culture dictates absolutely no black or dark colours for wedding wear. Also, I'm breastfeeding so I would consider separates. I'm 5'2 a 12 -14 hourglass and my budget is

[CocktailSausage]

I like purple, but it's known as the colour for widows. ??
A bit of sparkle is lovely.

To show off your hourglass figure?

Bright colour block (comes in other colours)

one of these? WOuld need some jazzing up and maybe not a shape you'd want

I like pattern. I wouldn't mind a floral pattern ofcourseit'sthe wrongtimeofyear--

too subdued?
similarly subdued colouring
lovely strong colours, marmite print, too informal?

[CocktailSausage]

Thank you mrslettuce. Really like the look of the Topshop dress, the print has a Chinese vintage feel. I'll have a look at it tomorrow.
