Black or white not at rural weddings -you will be thought to be attention seeking. Perfectly ok at urban do.

yeah no hat-have some curlers and hair looks gorgeous when done like that, dark eyes, red lippy

i have to have that dress-thank you thank you cod et al

I'm north of the Watford Gap and think black is fine for weddings (personally like coloured accessories to brighten it up a bit)

love that frilly dress

See this is what I think. But mil says no.(who always wears a ghastly hat _"its a wdding, of course you need a hat. Where's your hat, Slouchy?" and who does top-to-toe black at funerals (with little string of pearls, natch)

I could eat these

rural smural - I've worn black to weddings for years - urban and rural, v.v.v.v.posh and 'normal' and have never been out of place.
White is a definite no-no.

my friend who's wedding i'm going to wore black at last years wedding we all went to and looked stunning, it was in north yorkshire too and was no aunts or grandmas telling her off- i tink very stylish

am having palpatations about that dress and oh those shoes

I think it will make her look va va voom curvy.

Hats not necessary, but hair must be dressed - be it in an up-do, curled, or with some sparkly thingy in it or a fascinator or whatever. Un-done hair/head undoes an outfit. Long straight hair is not enough.

Oh yeah, thats the one I meant, not the maxi. Too shroudy.

thanks maidamess-might be alright with me spanx on!!!i have a defined waist (and very defined hips!!!!)so might work-need to hunt it down
