Pointers for a wedding dress/suit

We got engaged today ❤️ so obviously I am immediately thinking about what to wear for the wedding…early days but would anyone point me in some directions I haven’t thought of? Budget maybe 500 but if I found something a lot cheaper I’d be delighted.

I’m 56, size 16/18 apple, very broad ribcage and shoulders, quite small boobs, decent legs. Brown eyes, going blonder with age. I like fabrics with weight that drape, and I think I suit cream/gold/grey/biscuit or navy blue/ almost any green. I’d be thinking a low key version of Grace Jones or Katharine Hepburn (though any links I find will probably look nothing like that…)

lol @GoodQueenBess
Maybe not that colour scheme… I do like a strong shoulder though
