Right. How about going for a vintage look with a short shift dress and a [[http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/floppyhat.html wide brimmed hat?

Or a fifties style dress and a veiled hat?

tethersend · 24/03/2011 22:12

That fifties dress again

canyou · 24/03/2011 22:15

Thank you tethersend, I love the blue hat, I am not sure about the dress, but I think that is because of the colour as I do wear that style but would prefer dressier , the other hat is nice but not dressy enough puts on wish list

Hi canyou,

If you're not keen on hats would you consider wearing a fascinator instead? Places like debenhams have a nice selection at good prices.

As for the outfit itself, does it need to cover your shoulders/upper arms for the entire day or just for the church part?

FauxFox · 24/03/2011 22:24

spotty dress
jacket in pink/red or black (match to shoes)
pseudo hat, hairband thingy

canyou · 24/03/2011 22:26

Cover shoulders for just the church and the very dressy rest of day,
The day plan is wedding 12.30 mass, 3pm garden party/high tea
Dump DC and Champagne reception at 6pm evening meal at 7 pm [5 course] Swing band 9-11 pm, evening finger food and wedding cake DJ till 1.30 am residents bar then for night cap
