Wedding guest dress, pagan, hippy type wedding

As above I need a dress for a more relaxed type wedding in May
I'm short, 5'4", and a size 14. I was a chunky 14 but I've lost weight so a slim 14. I have broad shoulders so my top half never goes under 14 but bottom half can be a 12
I'm struggling to find something that still looks special but not traditional wedding guest

Agree with above posters on Disturbia - I had this dress for a wedding last year and really loved it. Can also get it in a shorter version or there’s a purple one in same style with floral embroidery that looks nice. Quite low cut so I had to pin mine, but I have no bust which didn’t help! Loads of hippy/alternative prints and the wrap dresses are really flattering.

I wore a Voraigh (https://en.voriagh.com) dress to my own pagan wedding! There’s definitely dresses on their site that would suit a wedding guest. Depending on your budget and tastes - they’re more about traditional clothing styles and less floaty boho - something of theirs could fit the bill.

I got married in the off white version of their Astrid dress, but I also have the Matilda dress in blue for regular wear. Their stuff is great quality, beautiful designs, and fitted perfectly for the pagan aspect for us.

I have this one! it's gorgeous. (I like Snakes, I have this and the Ophidia wrap maxi dress)
the Hera one comes in different lengths too, and is a lovely colour (same sort of style, different embroidery)

I'm quite busty and I still needed a couple of stitches in it, but it's comfortable and very elegant.
