Wedding outfit - help and ideas!

[floramckitchen]

I am going to my cousins wedding at the end of June and have no idea what to wear. Its going to be a formal church do followed by a hog roast and disco! So I am finding it hard to find an outfit that will suit both bits of the day (formal v casual). Any suggestions would be very helpful.
I am 46, 5ft 4ins, size 8-10, don't like my upper arms but quite happy with everything else.
TIA

What's you colouring? Budget?

Oh, sorry, yes, what's your usual sort of style?

I can spend up to about £100 and like quite fitted dresses. I have quite pale skin and brown/mouse hair.

thanks!

100 for the whole outfit, right?

this is lovely. I can't decide if I prefer the cobalt or the navy TBH. Maybe with a fab wee hat and heels for the formal part and low wedges for the casual part? Sleeves is always going to be cooler, more comfortable and more stylish than keeping a cover up on at all times regardless.

floral
red
does yellow suit you?
this is very nice

I still like the asos one best though and of course it wouldn't need two sets of accessories at all.

Thanks MrsLettuce - I like the red one but thought that red was a no-no for weddings! Really like it tho - and the floral one.

I will have to have a look in Zara.

Ooh that last Zara one is gorgeous, of OP is not norky. Could wear with bright wedges and clutch, or tan wedges and clutch maybe.

Red is fine for weddings. No problem at all. If in doubt start a quick thread in chat.

that's my favourite of the zara dresses too remus.

Hadn't looked at the last one! tis lovely but I would have to try it on with my 32e/f's !

Nope - it won't work then. I'm 32E and would look huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge in it. :(

Oh hell, no, that'd be awful. All the zara dresses were high necked weren't they? Sorry! Assumed 8 to 10 meant wee boobs.

Don't want to look huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge !

Some high neck dresses look ok me but some just wont sit right across my chest .....

Looking huuuuuuuuuuge is implausible at your size . Just a case of flattering nad less flattering, I'd say/

Its easy for me to look 'swamped' in some outfits - I can look like a kid playing dress up! I think less is more for me. I think plain colours are usually better than busy prints too.

I still think the asos dress is Very Nice.

Sleeves and a v neck seems to be hard to find atm.

Black floral
Mint floral
Green wrap
I love this
Jaeger
Cornflower
Has sleeves!
Biba
Great Plains

FairPhyllis - thankyou ! I love the black floral one but wonder if its too black for a wedding ?

The black floral one is lovely. Most certainly fine for a wedding.

I wouldn't go all black for a wedding. But black floral is imo a chic way of doing floral and perfectly ok for a wedding. I'd keep accessories non-black.

Yes, the black floral would be fine. Bright accessories or I love black and tan (but am a tan freak generally tbh). If you're tiny though, all that gathering stuff might swamp you somewhat.

I like the 40s feel to this but is it a bit casual?

I like that one Remus ! a good price too - I will have money left over to spend on some shoes.
