Suitable for a wedding?

Morning all,

I have a wedding early September and I'm wanting to go navy and fuschia pink. The reason is I have navy and fuschia shoes and matching bag and a fuschia bolero jacket. I really like this dress but didn't know if it was a bit over the top. I'm an all day guest. Not sure what other info you'll need to give me a hand with this but I'm a size 14, will be 47 then (in case this is too 'young' for me), long blonde hair and 5ft 2". Can't think of anything else to bring context to it...

Too OTT

@MyFavouritePlace thank you. They appear to be the only things that aren't gaining the menopausal weight.
@1994girl thanks for your comment but as has been discussed previously Scottish weddings are far more 'showy' than anywhere else, and also I'm not sure what your gaining out of trying to make me feel bad about how I looked at a wedding, but that's ok. I felt good, was complimented repeatedly and am happy at 47 to have had those compliments.

You looked wonderful, great legs. Nice that your man’s tie matches the pink.

@grannyjacob thank you! We always try to get something that matches so have to make sure we've got the right tartan too, you can't really see it but there's a navy thread running through the kilt too Smile
