Weeding guest outfit

Thinking of this Mint Velvet dress for a summer wedding in north of England next year. The dress code is formal and I have nude LK Bennett suede wedges. Will buy a gold or brightly coloured bag as well. Is this dress formal enough? (And I know, I'm getting ahead of myself, but I do like to be organised 😂)

It’s a nice dress op. I’d wear yellow in spring. Sadly I’m too big for their dresses.

I’m trying to get organised myself as weddings in spring and autumn next year, I have not found anything.

I was looking at that exact dress yesterday also for a summer wedding. It’s really lovely.

Disappointed this wasn’t a thread about making your guests don some gardening outfits.

Or even a wedding guest dress. 🙄

I've only seen it online. Did you try it on and if so what was the fit like? I'll go to a shop next week to try it on.

Not sure it’s v appropriate for weeding 😄

It's beautiful. Sadly I would look like a de-skinned baby bell in it!

It’s nice and suitable for formal. Butter yellow is very much a colour of this summer so it might look a bit last year if you are bothered about fashion.
