Winter wedding in two weeks... what to wear?

I'd like something fairly contemporary that looks stylish without breaking the bank. Many people there will be looking very expensive and I can't really compete like that... I'm early forties, size 12, modern urban type, and at a loss here... Any ideas?

Anyone? is black acceptable? it's a day wedding, so probably not....

Do you want to go for colour or stick to white?

I saw a lovely faux fur bolero quite cheap in John Lewis sales which would look really lovely with a coloured dress or even a white one.

Whats your colouring?

You can't wear white to a wedding MrsSnow

Thanks, I'll check that. I'm pale with dark hair and green eyes, so winter colouring I think...

I thought vi8 was the bride Blush

As a guest you could wear accents of black or even black with a colour.

Still confused as to your bridal status but obvious suggestions:

bride: green dress with faux fur bolero

guest: green dress with black accents/ black dress with green accents

phase 8

Fab dress, looks amazing on, and SPECTACULAR price. Out of stock online but I picked up one in store today and it looks fab!

I'm not the one getting hitched - sorry that wasn't very clear... I think I like the idea of dress/tunic type thingy with black high shoes and Wolford tights... I like that Jaeger a lot...

I think this (also comes in black) with a vintage brooch would look great.
