I've been asked to wear blue at my friend's wedding and really struggling to find a nice occasion dress!

I am short, slim and woud prefer not bodycon if possible.

Has anyone seen anything really special?

No, is that a thing!!! No, she is very instagrammy and has a theme for photos!

She sounds tiresome. I would just ask not to be in the photos. I judge people who think weddings are just about the photos.

That said, I really like blue as it suits me and would have no problem finding a blue outfit. I like loads of the dresses already posted on this thread.

No dress advice but specifying colours of guest clothing is hilariously bridezilla.

You could rent something?

I love this. And am looking out for one on vinted in my size. Aparently they run very small.

I think it's so rude to force people to buy new clothes in a specific colour they may not want to wear again.

Oh, that is so pretty! I don't have a wedding to go to and can't justify spending that on a dress (and am not petite 😄), but I'm drooling over the colours and pattern.

Girl in mind has some lovely dresses in blue colours

I'm 5'2" and size 6-8 with a tummy and boobs. Slim legs. I'm older but like to dress young! it's a smart hotel wedding and not too formal or traditional.

I have just bought this for a wedding in a few weeks.

That's gorgeous

I’ve reached my 70’s and every day is still a school day. I’ve never come across this till this thread. The bride can request the guests to wear a particular colour and folk feel obliged to go along with it? 😳

I love a mumsnet wedding thread. Mumsnetters have a lot of unreasonable friends and families who prioritise Instagram photo shoots over everything else when they get married.

In my world this doesn't happen either.
