Need an wedding outfit and don't know where to look

Hi,

I have a few weddings coming up this Summer (first of which is this weekend) and I need to get a couple of outfits...I feel like I don't like anything I am seeing in the 'usual' shops I look in so need some help.

Budget is £100 approx. I am a size 10, early thirties, in reasonable shape BUT can't do v short or anything backless / strappy etc as definitely require a bra!

So I have tried:

Reiss - expensive!!
Whistles - expensive and all a bit same old same to me? I feel like everyone I know wears a Whistles dress to a wedding!
Zara - bit too informal or more office wear
Asos - OK but not great quality, a lot of them are very short!!

Any other ideas of shops to try? I can probably push the budget a bit higher if necessary but I just don't know where to look...

Thanks

What about trying a department store so access across a lot of concessions?

Phase Eight has traditional wedding guest attire, but sometimes has v modern stuff.

Maybe Ted Baker?

Comptoir des Cottonieres (sp?)?

Hobbs?

Thanks Carrie74. Yes department store the best idea but no time at all to get out at the moment so it's all going to be online I think...which makes it even harder!

Hobbs a good suggestion and will have a look at Ted B and those others too.

Monsoon? Oasis? Dorothy Perkins? I'm size 10 and in my early thirties and this is where I buy dresses for weddings.

Cos for something modern/a bit edgy. Dresses can be a bit shapeless though.
