Reposting from chat has had no answer.

Dc has invited me to the ‘reception’ to receive his Good DoE award.
Any idea of what would be suitable?
Im in a wheelchair, will be travelling that day so need something smart enough I imagine but also confortable and easy.

How wonderful!

If you could look on line - there are images which show people in wedding suitable clothes - no hats !

A lot of the images show people standing on grass - would that be an issue for your wheelchair ? Maybe approach the organisers and ask what they can do to make the event accessible for you

Not worrfied about the wheelchair. It wll cope with grass and it is clearly specified that there is wheelchair access. So that's all good. :)

This looks smart, but comfortable.

Are trousers better or a dress?

A lovely scarf will lift a basic outfit if you can't find anything suitable in time

See what M&S have

John Lewis have a larger selection in

Something like this maybe depending on your colouring

Or something more delicate

What would be your size range? Colours? Neckline?
