Are these dresses suitable for a London wedding guest, brown or red?

Are these dresses ok for wedding guest attire, or a bit dull!? And brown or red? 🙏
The wedding, which is soon, is an afternoon and evening in London. Not super formal.

I just never know what to wear for events anymore, and lack confidence - and cash.

Both a bit dull for a wedding.

The red one is definitely too casual

Look, I tried both on in a fluster while my mother in law hovered outside 😅 I do realise both are too big! I'm a size 6-8.
I've really not got shoes, no.

Oh sorry, and budget... Around £100. If that's not crazily unrealistic

Pretty lavish have some fabulous dresses and a wedding guest section, the last two weddings went to I got something from there and Hope and Ivy (asos) with your figure you’d look fabulous in everything I’m sure!! I’ve heard people say club L London too but depends on your personal style.

They look a little too casual to me.
Dorothy Perkins have some nice dresses in your size.

Shoes, are you looking for heels or flats?

I like the brown one but the bodice doesn’t fit. The red one is unremarkable and much too big. You have a great figure-you should really make the most of it.

Of the two, I prefer the red. Can't stand brown, such a drab colour

But if I had your figure, I would wear something much more fitted
