I have no clue what to wear.

I thought of wearing something African style
just to be so far off piste as to avoid making a total faux pas.

I am so confused as to what dress would suit
both walking around the flowers and then also a move to a multiple course champagne dinner till late.

Please, please help me!

Are you going to le jardin blanc ?
If so it's a champagne reception,dinner and music but not a ball .
No need to panic on dress code - smart casual is on our invite.
Have a lovely time.

Thank you all so much for your input - so greatly appreciated. It was amazing! It has been a private bucket list thing of mine and it was great! Thank you all so much. Not brave enough to post a pic of myself but look at this rose display. They were fragrant and completely set my hayfever off but so worth it.

Thanks to all the people who replied with links and suggestions! 💐

I'm glad you had a lovely time OP, but what did you wear?!

Stinkymalinkyfromdownthelane · 24/05/2022 19:25

Argh! Didn't realise you've already been! Glad you enjoyed it

Loopytiles · 24/05/2022 19:53

Lovely floral photo!

Yes, understand no pics of yourself but do tell us roughly what you wore and what others wore!

Iamthewombat · 24/05/2022 19:55

Yeah, what did you wear? I was hoping you would get one of those MAD Kollection dresses that someone posted a link to upthread. I didn’t expect much from the name but they are fabulous!
