‘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.

I was going to ask if the wedding was in Cheshire - if you tell us the venue it might give us a clue of the level of glam expected. I’m in the very heart of RHOC land and it’s Sweaty Betty as far as the eye can see...

Groom’s outfit:

The bride doesn’t have a Facebook account unfortunately. There’s a # for the wedding as detailed on the invitations but nothing that I can find related to it as yet.

The wedding is in Cheshire in a country house that has had a few celeb weddings by the looks of it. I’m sure it will be very glamorous and I’ll look ridiculously out of place but I can’t bring myself to wear something uncomfortable. I do have a red going out dress so I might upgrade to that instead of my generic outfit.

@LovelyCocksReg that has literally made me wee a little 😂😂😂😂

Imagine if the bride to be is on MN 🙈

Lolling at the pretentiousness of this!
maybe think of Colleen Rooney, big earrings, big hair, big shoes, and deep tan??
I’d just go in your monsoon dress tbh.

Is it at Crewe hall op??

On the basis that Colleen spent 99% of her time round there in gym wear, as do the majority of yummy Cheshire mummy wannabes you could rock up in that?

lovelycocks I’m going to be so disappointed if the groom isn’t wearing that now!

So the overall conclusion is I should wear gym kit and full make up then? I’m quite looking forward to this wedding now.

Gosh laughing at the cheek of this. And although I will sound like an old woman, she is his second wife - he's already done the wedding, he even has the same best man and yet here she is trying to pretend she is one of the Man U wives - mind you, they are probably all number 2 plus as well.

Family member lives there and we all think her facebook posts are the height of tacky - as you've all alluded to.

I would love you to post some pics and definitely (just popped over from Line of Duty thread) tell us the full story of the day when you get back.

Oh and stay in your comfort zone - there is nothing worse than going to a wedding and feeling your dress or shoes are too tight.

Lol at gym kit and full make up!

Do they live in Cheshire? I suspect not as they'd know that 'Cheshire glamour' is not a thing. I'd ignore it and wear a nice dress with heels.

Gym kit, make up and a bouncy ponytail is genius (and authentic)

Cheshire Wedding ? Something warm to throw on over your frock because old churches (or family chapels) tend to be a bit chilly. Shoes with heels that won't sink into the lawn or field as you traipse between the marquee and the gardener's/ groom's wc and/or that you can kick off easily for dancing/wandering about on said lawn/field. Dog treats in your bag because someone will let them out and they will get into the marquee. Hat if you're married and over 45, luxe hairband if you're married and under 45 but please yourself in any case. Big smile.

kit30 I’ll definitely be fully equipped with cardigans. Cardigans and sensible shoes are my speciality. Even in my posh bag I can guarantee there’s a few dog treats, or at least something that can double up as a dog treat (old pepperami or similar). I don’t have a hairband but I’ll wear a nice scrunchie and a big smile.

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.

Well, you sound ace and I think you should wear whatever you damn well please to this daft do

The only sensible solution is to go dressed as the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. I'm sure that's what they had in mind, really.

Gym kit.
I live in prime Cheshire wag town and I've also lived in Alderley Edge, Prestbury, Wilmslow and Bowdon.
That's all you every see glam looking women in gym kits.

What a shallow and pretentious thing to write on a wedding invitation.

Just wear what you're comfortable in.

Chester has a racecourse and they also have a ladies day - google that. Lots of classy gals there! There's a beauty shop near us, advising you to get "Race ready" - which means, as others have said, orange tan, botox, fake nails, and clothes that don't really fit. I can always remember my mum saying "Firm corsetry might help" - but maybe not

I also live bang in wag town. I concur that gym kit is the way forward!

I still think my advice is sensible.

xingming I might actually get my nails done. I don’t have long nails but they’re fairly neat. Should I get gel ones? I don’t think I could cope with any diamanté or glitter but I could get them in a colour to compliment my dress. Would that be enough of a token gesture do you think?

Gel or shellac both ideal to complement the dress will be just enough! It smartens up the polished presentation you want to give. Plus a blow dry if you really want to push the boat out. (I never do, but that's because I have short curly hair and a blow dry is a fast ride to frizz.)

I wouldn't bother with gel or shellac, just normal polish applied by a professional will have the same effect and its cheaper, easier to remove and wont wreck your nails.

Very true, but I am hard on manicures so regular polish would have to be done the day before.

@XingMing Mine are still going strong after two weeks...……….. shows what a lazy cow I am :-)
