Glam Dress code for Wedding evening do.

13 replies

Oovavuuuu · 14/07/2026 15:17

Please help me out. I have a wedding evening do in a glitzy central London location coming up. I have a few different options but all feel a little too bridesmaid like! The dress code says 'Glam'.
Help with accessories would also be appreciated.

Where is the reception, OP?

How tall are you and which size do you take?

Which colours suit you best?

What colour would suit you best?
How 'posh' is the location?

It's at the Ned - 5ft 6 and small size 10..

Colour wise, I have no idea!

Can you give a ballpark on the budget?

I really have no idea about my best colour I'm afraid. It's at the Ned.
I wouldn't say the Ned is particularly posh but it can be a little bit glitzy and I have seen people in a range of clothing from very glam to very casual.

Under 300..
I like nice fabrics. I am not adverse to high street as long as it's nice quality material.

Definitely consider a sleeveless dress.

It's been a really hot summer in the City this year and I suspect that it's still going to be scorching on the day when you are at the Ned.

Just an idea. Posted it the other day for something else and got told it was wedding guest type dress! 😂

that's gorgeous!

I would go in a long evening dress that is a little bit glitzy but not overwhelmingly so.
As to the colour, I would prefer a 'quieter' shade such as dark blue or green
