What to wear to get married in summer

[skipandwhistle]

I'm getting married this summer and need help! Private civil ceremony followed immediately by a church service with guests (live in Europe so has to be done that way). Then drinks in our garden, super informal. All of these elements are within 2 mins walk of each other, so no wedding cars etc just a stroll around the village in the afternoon sun... to give the general vibe.
I'm a youngish widow and both of us have young adult children, so I definitely don't want anything too bridal but hopefully still stylish and elegant. Midi length I think and no satin nighties! I'm 5'7, size 8-10 with a fuller bust so generally avoid anything that gives the mono-boob effect.
Thanks for your suggestions!

I like this. It comes in a few other colours

perfect! you will look beautiful xx

The Ottilie one is beautiful and the Rixo one is lovely, but you might need some careful underpinning.

This 2 piece from m & s is lovely 😍

For a very relaxed vibe, how about a cream/blush shimmery tulle skirt and complimentary top?
Monsoon - shimmer skirt

These are pretty !

This is a beautiful dress and think it would be perfect for a joyful, informal wedding celebration. Congratulations 😊www.meandem.com/modern-botanical-print-maxi-dress-light-cream-intense-orange-pumpkin-spice

Gorgeous! I love it

It’s a beautiful dress though, and it is informal as wedding dresses go.

Defo the Issy one.!!

So many gorgeous suggestions! I really love the one @HoxtHun found.

This may be too long and/or too bridal, but in jersey would be easy to wear I imagine:

This is beautiful. I got married recently but went full bridal gown, however if I was doing informal I would choose this as it is so pretty.

I love this.
Other reiss white things nice too

This Rixo dress is beautiful, I think it’s perfect for what you describe.
Also Rixo are good for returns and their customer service is fab, very responsive and quick to sort out issues. They have a seamstress in their Kings road store so if you can get to London they could alter it to fit you perfectly too

I really like this. Summery and informal but still feels bridal.

Little more temptation …

Actually meant to link this skirt:

https://ullajohnson.com/products/katja-skirt-ivory

which does have a matching top but could be worn with something else.

This is my favourite one.

I really like this for a European wedding.

Have a look at Ghost. This one https://www.ghost.co.uk/madison-satin-button-through-dress2-d08g051-m12 and this one https://www.ghost.co.uk/alora-crepe-midi-dress-d10g023-n56 look beautiful on and the fabric is gorgeous.

They often pop up on Vinted too if you want a bargain.

(You don’t think the second comes under the ‘satin nightie’ category the OP aims to avoid?)

LOVE this.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! So many lovely dresses. I think I'm going to try the Rixo dress... it seems to have the popular vote! I'm also going to try the Ralph Lauren that @JessyCarr found. I know that's a good shape for me. Maybe a bit more formal wedding-y than I thought I'd go for, but I think I could get away with it. Exciting... and thanks for all your efforts and good wishes!
