Please help me pick a wedding outfit! (with pics)

I will attend a friend's wedding in Italy this summer (it will be boiling hot) and I don't know what to wear! Anyone else finds that summer dresses make them feel like a white, graceless whale? Confused

Anyway, I have three potential outfit options so far. Which one do you prefer? If you don't like any of them, please feel free to suggest another style (shopping for new clothes for this event could be on the cards). I am open to any suggestions!

Thank you so much!!

pink my need a tan

For an Italian wedding I wouldn't get a tan, you need to be the pale English Rose.

I'd go with the birds and get a wide brim hat and huge sunglasses.

Clicked on the green dress it says
‘61 people are looking at this right now’
Wondering how many are due to this thread 🤣🤣

Did anyone suggest you look at Nancy Mac dresses yet?

Fenella I really like the dress you link, especially the pattern! Won't the cut be a bit too casual for a wedding though?

The green dress is 100% poly - you'd roast!

They're all nice but none stand out
No. 1 washes you out , 2. Looks too hot and 3 looks too casual
I'd say keep searching !

I am not sure Italians wear hats for weddings.. I think it might be a British thing? I don't want to end up standing out like a younger version of Queen Elizabeth (with all due respect!)!!

Which one - the long or the short? (Shoved two links in one message- sorry!) I think it depends how you dress them up?

Mistoffelees · 30/04/2018 20:52

Get the birds one (and accessories) that's been recommended, looks so stylish and I want it but don't have an event/can't justify the cost so post a pic of your whole outfit so I can live vicariously through you!

Ooohhh Fenella I love your last link. Would I need something to cover up my shoulders though? The ceremony is in a church..

Husha I love the shape, not sure about the pattern? Aren't you supposed to wear something "romantic" at a wedding? I might be wrong though!

I like the last lindybop one too!

GinIsIn · 30/04/2018 21:12

Maybe something like this for church? They do it in pale pink too..... www.lindybop.co.uk/kennedy-baby-blue.html

And a HUUUUGE straw hat.

Love the red dress, and I think it proves you can wear a hat Wink
