Help! Wedding outfit urgently needed!

I have an evening wedding reception to go to on Monday and I need a new dress. It's a dry wedding, so based on that, I think the dress needs to be tasteful; not clingy or too short etc.

I am also going to another wedding a few weeks later, as a full guest. I don't often wear dresses so want something that will do for both events.

I had DD in January and this will be my first clothing purchase since being pregnant.

I can still fit in size 6 jeans but they are tighter than they were, and my tummy is definitely not as flat; it's less toned and more flabby. I had relatively big boobs (compared to the rest of me) before DD but I breastfeed and think they have become a bit saggy and shapeless.

I used to always wear just above the knee (I'm only 5"3) with a V neck and high empire line, and never went strapless as I need a good bra. I just don't know what to wear now. I don't have time to go shopping to try things on so will have to buy online. This means I need help!

I'm not confident about my body now and it is the first time I will have seen these people since giving birth so I don't want to look like a wreck.

Suggestions for online purchases??
I'm mid twenties
Don't like red or blue.
Don't want to wear black (already have black options as a last resort but doesn't feel wedding-y)
Size 6-8 bottom half. Poss 10 top half but no idea really :-/
Want to spend as little as possible but can afford to buy something decent if I have to
I don't have to breast feed in it.

Any help gratefully received, wise people! X

Precis petite has some nice occasion dresses which are not too fitted round the stomach as they're perhaps aimed at older women, but imo any age range would look good in some of their dresses
