I think the colour is perfectly acceptable but without suitable lightweight thermals underneath will you be warm enough? It's a little summery in style.

Do you already own it, @smallshinybutton? I think the only hesitation might be its summer-y shape, rather than the colour. The actual Tilda dress in the same colour-way would be perfect for most weddings.

The Rah Rah dress you link would be ok if you can get a warmer layer over the sleeves. Maybe a furry or velvet coat slung over your shoulders? (And definitely thermal underpinnings.) Plus some beautiful Victorian looking lace up boots?

No I don't already own it. I shall look for something heavier then. Thank you.

I vote for the Oliver Bonas, but the other could work with tights and ankle boots and a fake fur jacket or sheer sleeves under the dress and a fake fur stole. Winter weddings need layers and cosy accessories.

I don’t honestly understand how one could see the Oliver Bonas dress as an alternative to the first Pink City Prints dress?

The latter reminded me of Horror Vacui dresses. They are very beautiful and extravagant - but my goodness the prices have gone up since pre-Covid days …

@EdmontinaDonsAutumnalHues Nor me. It's a completely different vibe.
