Statutory wedding outfit

[MistyGray]

Getting married soon in a registry office in London after 30 years together.

It's purely for financial reasons so not a big romantic occasion - we've only got 2 witnesses so not a lot of people coming.

That said, I'd like to look lovely! Any suggestions for 'appropriate' outfits for a nearly 60 Yr old? I'm a size 10 and 5' 8" if that helps. Don't mind a ivory/cream colour but nothing too bride-y 😁

Congratulations!

There really aren’t any rules you have to follow.

100 people may race to inform you of the existence of Phase Eight; wearing anything from there would be deeply inappropriate to the preservation of my sense of self - perhaps that may be the same for you?

If you have five weeks, Cawley Studio could make something to order for you. They do actual bridal wear, but you could have a have a jacket and skirt or trousers made in ivory silk …

What is you budget?

We did something very similar a few years back, in the end we just wore clothes we already owned, but sounds like you'd like something a little nicer. Do you have a brand you love? If so, get something nice from there that is special or nice but that you can wear more generally afterward. I did try to find something special, but everything I came up with was more of a one-wear/occasion dress, which I didn't want to spend on.

Hope you have a nice day. We also did it for financial reasons but in the end we had a fun day.
