Which dress for a wedding party (pics included)

A family member had a very small wedding last year and are now throwing a party to celebrate. It's in a London restaurant, bride (and bride) are early 30s. Dinner, drinks, dancing. Dress code is smart but comfortable. I'm torn between these two dresses. Very limited in shoe choices so hoping the gold sandals are OK with both. What do you all think? Blue or green? I can't decide!

They both look really nice! The green looks slightly more formal so depends on the vibe you're going for.

Green

I like them both but green gets my vote 😊

Looks as though we have a winner! Green it is, thank you all so much. I love them both but those of you who said the blue is more of a daytime dress have hit the nail on the head, I just couldn't work out why it didn't feel quite right.

You look lovely in both. It’s really hard to say one is nicer than the other as they’re both amazing. I think the green is slightly more weddingy tho.

I love both dresses and the sandals!! Where are they all from please?’

You look fabulous in both but the second one looks better to me.

@Bluntness100 yes it's from Hobbs. I saw it on a thread on here actually. It's really nice to wear and has pockets! I'm an 8-10 and 8 was out of stock so went for the 10. I'd say pretty true to size, but if you're between sizes go for the bigger? Hope that makes sense.

You look lovely in the green one

Green!

Green

I love the green, the colour is stunning and best with your accessories The other one is possibly more slimming but it might be the camera angle. You are slim anyway so it doesn't matter and both are lovely.

@chocolatepudandchocolatesauce the blue one is from Joe Browns, it's reduced now to £30. Feels so lovely and light on. It's this one www.joebrowns.co.uk/beautiful-bird-print-dress-we340

Glad you went for the green, it’s stunning!

@chocolatepudandchocolatesauce oh that's a shame. There were a few 14s when I looked (no idea if that's your size!). Maybe keep an eye on it in case they get any returns? Or ebay often has their stuff.
