dont apologise hausfrau

i only ask cos a friend wore black to mine and i thought it was a bit strange!

i am veering towards the beige because dh says he likes that best and im trying to imagine hot summers afternoon, nice tan, big shades.....................

yes i can visualise that megg

oh i dont know which one to get

might get both and have a try-on

Hmmm, must admit Iuou'm with hausfrau.o It just wouldn't seem quite 'the thing' to ne even thouggh I'm not a st4ickler for3 convent21ion 1a`at weddings. Beige with a fab enormous black hat thouggh would look great!

sorry ds sharing zkeyboa6rdo

pph (who is very VERY posh) has said that she would never do it.

I did do it when pregnant but did feel a bit out of place and wouldn't do it again.

lol snafu

right

ill get the beige

I wore black to my brothers wedding last week but wore a cream jacket. I think black on its own is too severe. As long as you add some colour with hat, shoes, bag, nailpolish etc it will look fine.

used to be considered "bad form" to wear black or white to a wedding, but don't think anyone takes any notice nowadays.

The beige depends on your clouring Nailpolish. On some people it wouild look great, while on others (like me) it would look awful (totally washed me out, even if I have a tan).

What colour is your hair? I think dark brunettes can carry off beige better.

Are you going to get a shawl/pashmina or something, in case there is a cool wind? It si Edinburgh after all! :)

Yuck, the beige looks like a nightie. Posh wore a nightie to Davinia Taylors wedding and she is a chav

GET THE BLACK....GET THE BLACK!

i have dark shoulder length hair

green eyes

damn you lot, i cant make up my mind

get both, try them on and see whihc one you love!
You have the same colouring as me NP.

I love the black, would look great with bright coloured accessories.

I wore black (with a bright red coat) to an informal wedding last year and was a bit worried until I saw the bridesmaids were in black too.

have changed my mind

ill get the black

there are some cool accessories these days, like the polka dot scarf (meggmoo!)

i remember a very cool and stylish aunt wore black to her daughters wedding last year, so thats ok with me

I'd go for beige for daytime. Pretty dress.

It souns like you have the colouring to carry off the beige - but have to admit - I do prefer the black.

sob! they dont do the black in a size 12

will have to get the beige

know what you mean - its a bit stiff

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But that's just my upbringing. I went to a wedding on Saturday and was shocked by the number of black dresses. So apparently it is okay.... just not for me. Same as white, unless you are the bride.

the check one is not very weddingy is it

panicking now!

argh

its ok mars - they dont have black in my size

Not liking that last link, babes. Looks Chavvy! I am going to look at the first dress (not done it yet) and report back about shoes

That was for the checked dress btw.
MT did a link to a fab dress from M & S earlier - wait until I find it.
