Help! I've lost my wedding mojo

So - I've been invited to 2 London weddings this summer - one just the evening do in a trendy taproom and one full wedding with the reception in a West London pub.

I've not been to a wedding since 2015 and all my go to dresses either don't fit or look too formal/old fashioned (I did a series of weddings with a fifties look - fit and flare vintage dress to the knee, pill box hat, little bolero jacket).
Post covid I seem to have lost the skill of occasion dressing.

So me - mid forties, size 16, 5ft 7, pale olive skin and dark brunette hair. I tend towards midi/maxi dresses or skirts these days.Can wear fitted waist stuff, braless not an option. I like bold colours and bold prints - not too many (or any) ruffles. Am picky about fabrics. Can go up to £200 for the right dress.

Hit me up!

Just coming back to say for wedding one at least (the evening do only) I have decided to go for this skirt from &Stories teamed with a white silky drape sleeveless top from Ted Baker and tan and gold heeled sandals.

LOVE that skirt OP, and probably more versatile long-term than a dress.

I also liked the Justine Tabak one, although right red not a great colour for me.
