August wedding. Mostly outside, hopefully in good weather. Hoping to have a bit of a tan as on holiday leading up to it. Size 10/12 with a bit of a mummy tummy.

PINK! Love the last one!

duododuo · 13/06/2023 10:10

If I'm honest, none of them. They all look like beach dresses. Sorry to rain on your parade though.

That's ok. That's why I said if any :)

The first or second look most wedding appropriate, four and five are too nightie like IMO
looks better in the pink definitely
I like the first one best

W1h · 13/06/2023 10:12

Only the first one. The rest all look like something to put on over a bikini

Twoshoesnewshoes · 13/06/2023 10:12

I meant three and four are nightie like

thimbbwebelr153 · 13/06/2023 10:14

Yea they won't look dressy enough for a wedding.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 13/06/2023 10:14

The last one,the others are meh

LittleRobin01 · 13/06/2023 10:17

I like the first one for a wedding.

I love the pink one but it’s more of a beach dress.

TolkiensFallow · 13/06/2023 10:19

I would say 1st or 4th if you accessorise them well but they are all looking a little on the casual side…

SurpriseSparDay · 13/06/2023 10:24

None of them look formal enough for an event as significant as a wedding. Perfectly pretty dresses but, even if for an outdoor ceremony, I think you could find something more … substantial - less throwaway.

This. Too sunbathey/beachy

Lissadell · 13/06/2023 10:26

I like the final one, but they are beachy and casual.

Lampzade · 13/06/2023 10:27

I wouldn’t wear any of them to a wedding tbh

Maddy70 · 13/06/2023 10:30

I think the first couple are suitable but the rest a bit too casual. (sorry!)

BreviloquentBastard · 13/06/2023 10:30

Depends on the wedding. We had a very casual wedding, any of those would have worked for it. We had people in shorts and t shirts.

So if it's casual and laid back and summery then absolutely any of these would be fine. If it's a more traditional formal affair you may be a little underdressed.

Campervangirl · 13/06/2023 10:30

I like the first one, team it with some nude wedges and a straw clutch bag

SurpriseSparDay · 13/06/2023 10:41

All of these are considerably above the price point of the dresses you linked, @MullerInk, but they’ll almost certainly go on sale well before the wedding. Tap for sources - either & Other Stories, or Farm Rio.

Thanks everyone. The search continues.

I think the 1st and 2nd are nice and absolutely the sort of dresses I see at weddings.

Agree the others are maybe too beachy and weirdly unflattering on the model IMO.

trustfallbabyyy · 13/06/2023 10:59

Maybe the yellow one. They're all a bit boring imo for a wedding.

More bbq weekend vibes.

widowtwankywashroom · 13/06/2023 11:01

None of the ones from H&M, far to casual and too much skin on show. Tacky for a wedding, beach yes.

RattyHealy · 13/06/2023 11:02

The first one could be dressed up and I like it.

thimbbwebelr153 · 13/06/2023 11:02

Try Vinted. It's great for wedding outfits

MyDogStoodOnABee · 13/06/2023 11:04

None and I attend 4/5 weddings weekly, I’m not sure H&M fast, cheap fashion is the place for a wedding outfit.
