Wedding - I don't want to wear a dress

[jeaux90]

Not that I don't, it's just I absolutely hate short sleeves, and all these floaty sleeves around just remind of cruise ship dresses.

Can't find a long sleeve dress I like.

Is it ok to wear a nice suit? Something fun?

Or are suits for women at weddings not the done thing?

Oh and I'm in the wedding party not the Bride

I'm a big jumpsuit fan. I don't like dresses much either!

In the wedding party, you can pretty much wear whatever you like so long as it's not white

Check out Aligne for beautiful, wedding appropriate feminine tailoring! They have some lovely suiting...

In the wedding party, you can pretty much wear whatever you like in whatever colour you like - even white. No one is going to mistake you for the bride.

Of course you can wear a suit!

No woman has to wear a dress anywhere.

Thanks for this!

What sort of thing are you looking for? Would you like something like this

with the matching jacket? Or are you a jumpsuit lover?

Kate Barton is good for plain simple dresses - I wore one to a wedding with a really nice chunky necklace and bright coloured clutch with matching shoes. Worn it loads since too.

I love this

But I have been told on here that I have no taste!

I was an usher once and wore a silver coloured silk trouser suit. It worked really well.

The Fold is great for tailoring, dresses, suits and separates, a few examples attached

There's loads of options here- including 3 piece suits and shorts suits.

Max Mara suits

I wore trousers as a bride! Wear what you feel comfortable in. Some of the wide trousers now are gorgeous.

Loving some of the suits thanks! @sprigatito I love it too, would go for that velvet one for a autumn or winter wedding. Definitely not a jumpsuit fan.

M and S have some lovely ones

Neither of those link to the right suit! Posted below

These

I could definitely go for a turquoise, coral, bright pink linen suit! With trousers though, I have knees like bowling balls

How about a skirt and blouse/top? I was struggling with sedding wear as I find the current trend for floral midi dresses and flutter or puff sleeves really frumpy.

My friend recommended a statement skirt and a sleek fitted top instead and it really works plus you get more wear out of the items as you can dress either compenent down.

@Ginmonkeyagain well actually I have a gorgeous Missoni skirt you just reminded me I had!

Bit pricey, but lovely...

I'm going to have to Google what "in the wedding party" means. I've only ever heard it in reference to weddings in the USA and have always assumed it meant the best man and bridesmaids, but it can't mean that because if OP were a bridesmaid the bride would be likely be deciding her outfit, or at least telling her what colour to wear.

As you are a Missoni fan this is about as far away from a floaty dress possible, yet still appropriate for a wedding (or actually a cruise!)
