What to wear to smart London wedding in April?

84 replies

I haven't been to a wedding in years and I'm feeling a bit lost!

The wedding will be full of trendy London PR types and I'm a 40 something mum from the Midlands.

I'm 5'4" and size 10-12. April weather can be changeable and I don't like showing my legs, so nothing shorter than midi length. I prefer floaty shapes to clingy.

Please help me out with some ideas / links! Budget up to £100, possibly a bit more for something I can wear again.

Thank you Smile

It us also kind of every day workwear or night at the pub

Definitely too dressy for that when it's on!

Wear what makes you feel good in colours that make you feel good cause if you start wearing things that arnt your style you are going to feel like an absolute plum all day. Forget who they are, and that it's London and just be you and have a good time. The suit idea is just awful BTW (I live in london) ....if it was me, it would be a plain coloured jumpsuit.
Have a great time!!

I think that's the best advice on here. You like a jumpsuit - whereas for me I don't care how trendy/ hip/ fashionable a jumpsuit is, it's just not me. You might feel the same about what I'd wear (which would probably be an Eponine dress in a riot of colours)

So.... in case anyone is following this one, this is what I wore in the end, inspired by you lot!
@TolkiensFallow , I ordered the Coast jumpsuit you linked to and it's perfect!

Thanks for all the advice Flowers

Blazer looks a bit big and shapeless in the pic but it's better IRL.
