Outfit for October wedding in London

[PaleBlueEnglishRose]

I’m looking for an autumnal wedding outfit. Bridesmaids are in chocolate and we are asked to co-ordinate with that.

I am 5.7, size 8, blond, fair, brown eyes. Suit strong colours and fitted shapes.

Budget upto £500.

Do you have to wear brown or just compliment it?

Just compliment it.

Is it a church service followed by a reception in a hotel, OP?

How about orange? That looks lovely with chocolate brown and is a strong colour?

Starts with reception as a small registry office in advance.

I love that. Sold out ☹️I’ve also got an autumn wedding coming up.

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

Orange sounds good. But what dress?

This is gorgeous but probably a bit too evening wear for a day wedding reception.

Absolutely ridiculous request. Coordinating with chocolate means different things to different people. It’s endless.

Yes, you are right!

It's difficult to gauge with London weddings.

Maybe too evening wear ish (and £££) https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-gb/shop/product/marmar-halim/clothing/gowns/asymmetric-draped-satin-gown/46376663163105220

This also comes in champagne or 2 different greens

A few more from JL

This is orange but way over budget . It's cotton but Casey Casey dresses are fantastically well made. They're dramatic when worn and can be dressed up.

I like the way they've described brown as "chocolate".

Orange, pink, cream, some greens.

Yes I’d go back and ask if they meant milk, dark or white.
I genuinely think you could make a case for any colour.

Or ruby chocolate or Caramac (if it still exists)

I’m looking at this for a December wedding…

@PaleBlueEnglishRose

I think that you will have more options in a few weeks' time, OP.

Stores seem to have largely Summer stock, mostly discounted, at the moment, with the new season trickling in very slowly.

Yes I think you are right. I’m after a frock more than a dress (as wear them all the time).
