Attending posh wedding - Choose my outfit please!

I rather like what Pippa M wore for the wedding just gone 

I'm not sure what to go for, something classic and simple, yet flattering. I had a look at Debenhams today and found nothing! I know I'd like to wear navy, bottle/dark green or something else that would look nice on deep olive skin.

I'm in my early twenties. Please help. Due to fly out Wednesday. Wedding is on the Saturday. The wedding is in Ireland so not keen on paying for outfit in €!

I would love to wear a fascinator.

This is a bit like P Mid's dress but in a lovely blue.

Here is a dark navy dress that has a feminine feel.

reiss green with similar neckline

Thanks all!

I'm very classic and don't like any 'alternative' styles. Very plain fabrics are my style.

Size 10/12.

Budget of £60 for the actual dress  Woefully low but workable... hopefully. Last minute flights have really cost me.

I think the Imana, Savannah and Victoria dresses are pretty.

This was the dress I tried on today. Is it too informal? And could you get away with a fascinator to match or would it look out of place?

Oops, my fault there - should have been keeping an eye on sizing on offer! Not a big fan of that with asos, sizes seem to sell quickly. The teal seems to be in your size anyway.

I like that dress OP, you can definitely accessorise it, fascinated, necklace etc.

forwhatyouare · 18/10/2018 23:22

I love this. Is it too mother of the bride if worn with a fascinator hat?

I also like this

Again, not sure if I'll be looking too mother of the bride!

I like that dress.
Aldo have a lovely necklace as do silkfred. Either would lift it.

SimplyPut · 18/10/2018 23:26

2nd dress is a bit old tbh.

Mossend · 18/10/2018 23:37

I like the dress in the link.
The 2nd dress, when on the hanger, looks like a matrons uniform sorry
