‘Cheshire Glamour’ for a wedding?

[RocketSurgery]

I’m going to a wedding in a few weeks and was just booking a hotel so had another look at the invitation to check exactly where it was. I hadn’t noticed before but on the invitation it says ‘dress code - Cheshire Glamour’.

I was planning on wearing my generic wedding outfit of a knee length blue Monsoon dress and flats and now worrying I’m going to look a complete frump. I don’t really wear heels as I’m really tall and don’t like to make myself even more enormous. Should I wear something else? Nipple tassels maybe?

I’ve never even been to Cheshire before so I have no idea what to expect. Is Cheshire glamour similar to Essex glamour or is it classier? I’m basing this comment on Towie, I’ve never been to Essex either.

Go dressed as a big, grinning cat ...

Look at pictures of ladies day at Aintree grand national week!! and I think you might get the look!! 😁

Yep, cat fancy dress

If it's a RHOC dress code, will a few weeks be enough time for Botox, new teeth and breast enlargement?
I hate a dress code. Wear your planned outfit. You'll look great and be comfortable.

Cheshire Glamour is lots of excess -

Too much make up
Too much Botox
Expensive designer clothes that are a tad too tight.
Sky high heels
Orange spray tan
Long acrylic nails

In essence, you need to spend as much money as possible to look as cheap as you can.

Isn’t there a legend about the ‘Wizard of Alderley Edge’? Wear a Harry Potter costume, maybe Dress Robes à la Yule Ball.
Seriously, go in whatever you planned for a wedding.

DFiL lives in Cheshire. I can;t help noticing the women when we visit. Bouffed blonde hair, big nails, heels, bling. But all in a drapey, slightly classy way. Not cheap-looking.

As long as your nails and hair are done, and you add heels, you'll be fine. But only if you care. Wear what you like!

God, I fucking hate this craze for daft dress codes. I refuse to conform to them any more since the last one (wear pink). I look fucking awful in pink. There is no worse colour for me. I wore my normal clothes and furry pink deely boppers on my head that I got for 50p in a charity shop.

Your normal wedding outfit of blue dress and flats sounds perfectly fine.

Friend was invited to a do. Told the dress code was "fancy". He turned up dressed as Mr Spock. It wasn't that kind of fancy. 😁

Oh my god I want to go.

Wear whatever you were planning. But add in a really fancy nail do. If you are over 25, it will be just enough to pass muster as having read and followed the instructions, and in years to come, noone will look back and say, what was she thinking about! Pretty, dressy enough and in your comfort zone.

I suspect I would have a cold that weekend, whenever it was.

I’ve just googled Ladies Day at Aintree 😮. This wedding is going to be very different to how I imagined it if it’s similar to that. I don’t have anything even remotely glamorous. I can do drunk though which seems to be a large part of the look. This is a second marriage for the groom, last time it was very traditional and I assumed it would be similar this time. Dh is best man and is doing pretty much the same speech. I’ve never met his new WTB, I know she’s early 20’s to his 40 and it all happened very quickly. I think she must be very gorgeous and glamorous and I’m going to be standing there like an enormous old frump in nipple tassels.

I’ve never had my nails done in my life, I colour them in with highlighter at work when I’m bored but that’s it. I think I’ll just stick to what I was always going to wear. I’d feel a right tit and it’s just not what I do. I’m wearing a dress which is far enough out of my comfort zone. I couldn’t cope with a spray tan and a vajazzle as well.

I am in Cheshire. I mainly wear pyjamas.

Ignore it and just wear what you want. Otherwise it will cost you a fortune in hair extensions, nails, brows etc etc etc.

I reckon pastel dresses and suits for the laydieeees, nude heels and a massive "hatinator".

Surely in his position as best man your DH can just ask if there's any one in particular the bride has in mind as a role model? I'd put money on Colleen Rooney.

Good luck with the tassels - dose yourself up on painkillers (while you wait for the alcohol to kick in to numb the nipple pain).

Can you stalk the bride on facebook to get an idea?

I am in cheshire glam around here is swapping dubarrys for heels 😂

Go dressed as a bland, crumbly cheese, with a glittery tiara perched on top.

Went to a country house wedding in Cheshire once, super glamorous, think (updated ) four weddings and a funeral with hats! My flowing Laura Ashley dress was so out of place, all the dresses were very structured. Fashion changes though, it was 8 years ago

Don’t deviate from you standard outfit. But do post some pic please

Please please update us all on the day of the wedding. Pretend you are a radio commentator at a royal wedding... I really want to know what everyone wears!

I went to one of these weddings.
The bride was supposed to arrive by helicopter. It was really windy and she couldn’t land. The vicar said they couldn’t be legally married if she didn’t hurry up.
So they landed in a field nearby and ran. The bridal party were wearing white and sorbet coloured dresses extremely body con. They had been wearing very high heels in matching colours. They took they off to run and got very muddy and windswept.
There had been s champagne pyramid outside the church but it blew over. The mother of the bride got cow poo on her.
I was glad I had flats and a sensible coat.

Yes please let us know how classy!! They all look or not!! 😂

Is the wedding actually in Cheshire? I live round the corner from one of the Cheshire housewives and I’ve only ever seen her in workout gear!
But yes I agree it means blow dried hair, structured dress, heels, bit of bling.
Would like to add I don’t think people in Alderley edge and the surrounding areas dress anything like as tacky as the Essex look. It’s a lot more subtle.
However if you would feel completely uncomfortable with that wear what the hell you like!

Two vital things op......

1. wear your planned outfit - if you feel fab and comfortable you’ll look glam.
2. we need a running commentary with pictures on the day.
