Wedding guest outfit- too formal now?

[nowlook]

My cousin was due to get married last June. Grand country house job probably with ice sculptures

The wedding will now take place next June in a very nice country pub with marquee. Hurray!

The outfit I bought for the original wedding now feels like it would be out of place. I'm unlikely to go to another wedding any time soon. I love the outfit (it's my colour and very flattering), but I just need to bite the bullet and flog it, don't I?

TLDR: is this too formal for a country pub wedding?

It's this style

It's gorgeous, I'd still wear it. Weddings are one of the few excuses to get dressed up.
Anyone who judges you is just miserable.

I’d definitely still wear it. I think most people are looking forward to getting dressed up again, and may also have outfits they bought last year so go for it, and enjoy looking fabulous!

I would definitely still wear this. It is stunning!

If its 'too formal' for a wedding then where are you expected to wear it!?

If you still love it and it fits nicely then I can't think of any reason why you can't wear it

It's gorgeous, weddings are definitely OK to dress up for, I'd just tone down the head wear.

I’d wear it… as a bride I’d want people to get dressed up!

Its beautiful ! Wear it but no head stuff as I think that's what makes things more formal.

Yes of course you should wear it. It looks nicer on the model than on the hanger. What would you wear instead?

It’s stunning. Where is it from?

I know what you mean about formality but it’s a one off wedding. It’s probably the only time when over dressed is a safer bet than underdressed.

Thanks all! Wasn't expecting those responses.

Agree about the hat. Would still need an updo though because of the neckline.

It's by Gabriela Sanchez. I bought it on eBay about 18 months ago. It fits well thanks to two successive low-carb bootcamps

I wold still wear it too.
fwiw, I went to a funeral this week, and people were still "dressing up" for that.
So why not a wedding!

Oh I loooove it. Wear it

Wear it, it’s stunning

Definitely wear it! It's utterly lovely. Maybe wear a satin headband rather than an all-out fascinator or hat.

It’s not my style but it’s a very well made, structured outfit and it looks perfect for a wedding, even a low key one. If you love it wear it. The colours are beautiful.

No way would I return that outfit - it's stunning. I would still wear it to the wedding, I dress up for weddings no matter where they are held.

I got married in a country pub. People still dressed in ‘formal’ outfits similar to that -not many hats and fascinators though but last time I went to a fancy pants church plus country house wedding people weren’t wearing them either. Which is a shame as I suit hats.

It's beautiful. If others are not as well dressed as you then hold your head high. I would not waste the opportunity to wear that and nor should you. But I'm sure you will look wonderful in whatever you choose.

It’s lovely...if you want to sell it you have a buyer 😁. Wear it.

Really quite touched by this thread, actually.

A headband could work, but also concerned I might look like I'm cosplaying as Anne Boleyn. Or one of the York princesses.

I wouldn't have thought twice about it pre-lockdown, I imagine. Strange what this whole thing has done to my brain

It's completely gorgeous, lovely colour. I think you should wear it too. You should also go to the races this year and wear it there as well!

That outfit is BEAUTIFUL! Honestly, I'm a bit jealous you've got an occasion to wear it for - frankly, if I owned it I'd be wearing it to take the DC to Nandos on principle.

We've all been shut in for so long. Wear something glorious and enjoy every moment.

I prefer something brighter for such events. It is only my opinion

I love it! So chic and trendy too
