Help me find a warm dress for a wedding

[EnfysDilys]

My husband has suddenly announced to me that we’re off to the wedding of one of his work colleagues this weekend (don’t ask!)
The wedding is in a beautiful venue, but I always find the venue so cold (and damp!)

I really really need your help in finding a warm dress that’s suitable. The dress code says smart(ish) 🤷‍♀️
I love bright colours, and ideally I’d like something I can wear again!

Thanks guys

£50 or £500?

I would say £150 tops - good question!

This might be rather fine. (Comes in other, brighter colours but these photos are suitably formal.)

Kemi Telford dress

(Although, tbh, the way to be warm at such an event involves thermals and a big furry jacket …)

With thermals!

What about this - you could wear warm tights and thin tight silk thermal top under

Same dress in burgundy and blue:

I think cord is too casual - but velvet is good? And you could wear with really nice high boots? Keeping my legs warm always helps I find!

This has good buttons too ...

This also looks great in green or pink.

I'd go for a velvet suit, always cosier than a dress, but also leaves the possibility of taking the jacket off if the room does warm up later.

I like all the velvet suggestions.

I wore a velvet suit during a freezing cold winter wedding, I felt comfortable and warm the whole day.

Love velvet:

Oh you are utterly brilliant all of you! Thank you so much, I LOVE the colours, and I can wear any of these again and again! Now to choose 😍

thats beautiful dress - but what on earth is going on with the tights!

I imagine the tights are not compulsory if one buys the dress?
