Wedding guest outfit- too formal now?

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?

LOVE it. Please do wear it! You might consider flowers in your hair instead of structured headgear to bring the formality down a notch?

It’s beautiful. Dress for the occasion not the venue! Wear the dress!

Absolutely wear it!

It's lovely. Definitely wear it.

What a great outfit, really lovely, you've got to wear it!

Still wear it. I got married last year. Was supposed to be a very informal registry office wedding but had to transfer to a church (lovely vicar that christened DC took pity on us when the registry office wouldn't let us give notice) I still ended up wearing what I would consider a very informal wedding dress in a formal setting. I think in covid times anything goes OP.

Might I suggest you get tickets for Royal Ascot when we are allowed (2022) and you will then get a second outing for it! Add a hat and you get another day out.

Everyone is wearing headbands now! Look at Ganni for inspiration.

It's lovely wear it! I'm all for dressing up now, life's too short. I wore a glittery sequin top out on Friday evening, even though we were only going out for a curry.

It's stunning!

@QueenPaw hope your not wearing them with your bikini because you can't go abroad on holiday

God, that's so lovely. I'd be tempted to put it on to go to Sainsbury's just to have the pleasure of wearing it.

It's so great to have opportunities to get all dressy-uppy again. Wear it you must!

I think it is lovely and you should wear it. I hope the wedding is a lovely day.
