Summer wedding in a field...what to wear??

[Chocolateandamaretto]

In July I'm going to a wedding which is basically in a field...there will be a marquee but it's a field in a friend's farm. The accommodation is tents and it's fair to say it'll probably not be a stilettos sort of affair!

Can anyone help me find some suitably casual dresses (or outfits - I'd look at trousers/jumpsuits as well) that I can wear with flats but that still look "weddingy" and not everyday? Bonus points for shoes as well. Thank you wise Mumsnetters

size/body shape/frame/age?

Sounds like a great wedding!

I wouldn't go for a jumpsuit. I always struggle getting them on and off for the loo especially after a glass of wine or two. And if it's in a field, what's the toilet situation... it maybe portaloos with wet floors and small space..

But how about this pretty dress?

Sorry - am early 30s, tall size 8 with nearly flat chest, if that helps!

I like that dress Palace, I love florals and that's really pretty!

Something like this - Lyocell-blend dress www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0895368001.html

With flatform sandals?

Definitely something boho, try anthrologie, whistles or monsoon. Not that h&m dress, it's black.

@fruitbrewhaha do you mean the one I posted? It’s yellow and green

I went to a wedding like that years ago. I wore smart trousers, which were perfect, as the meal involved sitting on cushions in the yurt/teepee/tent thing. Then a pretty beaded silk camisole to dress it up a bit, with a pashmina.

It was absolutely freezing, even though it was only the first week of September. There were no heaters and a chilly breeze kept sneaking into the teepee. My strappy top and pashmina were woefully inadequate, but at least I didn’t have blue legs!

It got a bit muddy padding to the portaloos, so I was glad of my (smart but flat) boots.

So I’d say think practically!

All of these would look good with flats, and lend themselves to a warm wrap over the top, I think:

rixo I love this one but it won't be everyone's taste!

I agree with Venus - think practical. I went to a similar wedding a couple of years ago. I stuck some leggings, cardigan and shawl/pashmina thing in my bag for the evening. Have fun!

Im attending a wedding and I am thinking it may be wet and muddy and also outside so I’ve gone gone for some boots and a dress from Maje.

Simple but looks practical.

Very pricey, but also very gorgeous.

A more colourful option.

This with ankle boots?

or this with flats

I agree about staying away from jumpsuits - they’re a nightmare to get off for a wee at the best of times, let alone after wine and in a dark portaloo where you’re trying not to move around too much because everything in there is a bit covered in mud... (Can you tell I’m still a bit scarred from that time I wore a jumpsuit to a festival? )

Definitely take something warm to put on your shoulders in the evening - cardigan, wrap, blazer etc depending on what style dress you go for. I always find the cold gets to me more when I’ve already been outside all day.

Sounds like my favourite type of wedding!

Not sure this is “wedding-y” enough but there’s something about this Mango dress that keeps catching my eye, I love the back on it

It depends on your style but I love these below (I'm biased because I have the first 2). Comes in more.colours and prints too.

Based on my field at the moment - wellies and water proofs but I don't think that is the answer you are looking for

Thermals & wellies.

I think the Mango dress with trainers or wellies would be perfect. Don't forget the sunscreen.

Some lovely boho dresses here, would be lovely for your occasion.

Having seen the youngsters around here all dressed up for the Young Farmers Ball, I think you can team up wellies with virtually any dress!
