Anyone going to a wedding in December? What are you wearing?

[Greedygirl]

Please share. We have been invited at the last minute (reserve list me thinks!) and I haven't a clue what to wear. I am also a bit bewildered that we have been invited but lots of DH's work friends will be there so I need to look good but not spend loads .

I am but I don't know what I'm wearing yet.
It's a morning wedding and lunch (but we're in Italy so the lunch will go on all day no doubt), and I only have summer wedding outfits or evening-type dresses in black, which is a no-no I suppose especially as it's daytime. am thinking I want to find a day dress with sleeves but I haven't seen much here so far...

We're going to a winter wedding, I plan on wearing this dress but in black because I have it in my wardrobe and love it but don't get the chance to wear it a lot. I wouldn't normally wear black to a wedding so I'm going to liven it up with <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=kurt+geiger+darcy+shoes&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUK321&biw=1280&bih=941&tbm=isch&tbnid=vBEEMVb8OgDV3M:&imgrefurl=www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-MISS-KG-KURT-GEIGER-DARCY-TAN-COURT-SHOES-4-RRP-65-/200639890862&docid=IjkEuQbs_gHfbM&imgurl=i.ebayimg.com/00/%2524(KGrHqMOKkEE4lenUuFmBOQ,Z-QPp!~~0_35.JPG&w=300&h=225&ei=BsSzToinOIaX8QPI1rWDBQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=227&sig=109100206004792780375&page=1&tbnh=131&tbnw=173&start=0&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0&tx=84&ty=86" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these shoes and a cropped, fitted fur jacket. I might wear a gold cardigan under the coast for the evening and maybe some kind of hat type thing. That's the plan anyway - I haven't put it all together yet and it might look rubbish in which case I'll have to have a re think.

I am wearing the version of this dress (just a slightly different pattern) from a couple of years ago with black heels.

What's your upper limit Greedygirl?

I have a wedding on nye and one early feb.

Am wearing a red dress from coast, it's almost spanishy looking. Below knee length.

Going to get some very high leopard print heels to go with it.

Thanks for sharing. Am liking all the leopard print heels! So it is OK to wear black you think if jazzed up? I hate being cold but the wedding and reception are in a hotel so that should be OK.

Two4one - if I can get a dress that will also see me through some xmas nights out then I'll go up to around the £70ish mark. I need to get some shoes as well so £100 all in. But if I can get it cheaper then brilliant.

I too am struggling with this. Recently bought a new black dress from coast which is lovely, have already worn it once and plan to wear again for NYE but is black satin, so feels wrong for a wedding. I don't really want to spend lots on an outfit that I wont wear again, as now I am late 30's we don't go to as many weddings. Plus is all the same family as the wedding last year so I feel like I cant recycle my fabulous facinator, damn! Think I'll try TK maxx for a dress, but then I do like to wear a toning jacket or light weight coat too. Oh the cost of it all!!

I've ordered this but it has yet to arrive.

That is really pretty Nestavipers. I really like it. So now I need to know - are you going to wear it with black tights or no? What about a cardi or are you indoors like me? I guess I just need to get a dress first and then worry about the rest!

Neverknowlingly - I am going to have a look in TKMax too.

Well DH just told me that the bride to be saw the stag do off with a moonie [Mrs Bucket emoticon]!!!

I am going to a family wedding. I am size 18 and a little bit dreading it.
I was thinking a long-ish evening/party dress with a fur wrap or shawl thingy.

I don't get out much so no idea if that will look good or not. But don't have the funds to buy something I would never wear again.

Going to a family wedding in the Alps! It's probably going to be freezing/snowing.

I am wearing this with dark grey knitted tights and a sparkly cardigan (which I need to find) on top. Will wear black wedges on my feet if the weather is OK otherwise ski boots!

Ooh that dress is beautiful NestaVipers I want one!

I'm wearing this.

I don't think I like it any more though.

Oh balls, just typed a really long reply then lost it!

Celticlassie - I think it looks really lovely, especially on the model (harder to see on the hanger) and ideal for a wedding. Why have you gone off it?

bucaneve - sounds like a good plan. I am rubbish at accessorising but I think a good dress jazzed up with a cool handbag and shoes might be the way to go.

angelinterceptor - I feel your pain! I hardly go out to any posh parties anymore so feel totally out of touch with what is fashionable etc. I also don't want to spend loads unless I can get my wear out of it. Have you seen anything you like?

I have seen a few dresses I like on Lipsy of all places. Still looking.

I don't know. It's a little long (Like my dresses SHORT ) and the belt's a bit bulky. Will probably fiddle with it a bit and see if I can make it work.

Well after wasting two nights online trying to find something, I am going to find some time, deposit my DS with someone and go forth into the actual shops. I have always been rubbish at online shopping! Thanks for giving me some ideas. At the end of the day no-one will be that bothered what I am wearing as all eyes will be on the blushing bride - especially if she chooses to moon again!
