I need a not too weddingy wedding dress - help?

I'm going to two weddings in August, one is a Midsummer Night's Dream fairy theme (they're extremely nice people, no judgement here) and one is mine.

I want something floaty and effortless that I can wear with trainers. The fairy one we're just going to the evening. Mine is tiny and secret and will just be DP, me and kids with a very fancy lunch after.

I'm short and wide. 5'1 and a size 20. I don't have pleasant legs and I don't want to wear tights so it needs to be maxi to the floor.

I quite like this www.freemans.com/products/monsoon-brenda-sustainable-maxi-dress/_/A-61H312_20?utm_source=GoogleProductList&utm_medium=PLA&utm_campaign=Womens_Dresses_BridalAndBridesmaidDresses&utm_content=61H312&ns_campaign=Womens_Dresses_BridalAndBridesmaidDresses&ns_mchannel=PLA&ns_source=GoogleProductList&ns_linkname=61H312&ns_fee=0&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CjwKCAjw9e6SBhB2EiwA5myr9jD7ORKMwrkLgCp1bWxk0DPplvjdy0B6TlSnszJjwocAqEXupUjEbhoC-ckQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

And this. But I asked DP if I'd look like a sofa and he suggested I carry a gold cushion (he's lovely and hilarious, I do not need reposting in Relationships) www.freemans.com/products/together-butterfly-print-maxi-dress/_/A-18W738_10?PFM_rsn=searchresults&PFM_pge=recentlyViewed&PFM_lpn=2&PFM_psp=18W738&atREC=true

I'm not stuck on Freeman's. I've never bought from there, it's just what came up when I googled. Any other great suggestions very, very welcome.

So many gorgeous dressed on this thread I don't know how you will choose!

My favourite I think is the last one from simply be posted by @floofycroissant it's like a pinky colour with sequins.

@DontDoThatGeorge Have a look at Hope & Ivy and at Needle & Thread 😊 some beautiful dresses! I’m roughly your size and getting married next year and have been looking at those 😊
I’ve also looked at that embroidered Coast dress SO many times and questioned how such a high neck would look on me because of my boobs (38G 😓). If you do happen to try it on at any point, let me know how it is 😊

Just to add, I recently ordered a dress from Scarlett & Jo for a friends upcoming wedding and I’ve never felt more comfortable in a dress before 👍🏻😊 it’s very (I hope 😅) flattering and doesn’t cling to anywhere that I don’t want it to!
