Alternative wedding outfit! Must look good with wellies and be camping friendly.

Help!
Guests likely to be dreadlocked middle class hippy types.
Actual wedding taking place in old mansion house so would prefer not to wear wellies the whole time.

ok, think i'm overloaded now.
have saved the links to the best ones and will sleep on it.
thanks for your help.

I rather like this - very vintage looking

Yeah,good plan

yes, i looked at that one oddly enough.

thanks.

That South dress that Lulubee just linked to is gorgeous! Definitely my favourite so far.

Luckily it looks too long for my shortarse frame otherwise there'd be a dent in my bank balance!

I'm leaning towards this now.
Vintage or frumpy?

I have purple wellies!

or this?

would be warmer for the outside stuff.

I agree with Heated suggestion of the julienmacdonald dress. It will go well with your hair colour and your wellies.

too shiney QS.
am envisioning sitting round a campfire wondering if a stray spark could set fire to my dress in an instant.

It reminds me of a dress that I very nearly gave to flee market for charity once.

Let me tell you why I didnt.

Coming home from bbq-ing some salmon on the beach far out in the country side with a close male friend, I spotted the washing line of a lone house by the road.

I pinned the dress up on the washing line and left it there, for some strange country dweller to find amongst her undies and her towels the next morning.

Love the dress.

I wish I had seen that womans face when finding the dress.

It looks perfect for by a campfire. Especially with a big wool cardie.

sorry, my command of the english language has disintegrated into a bottle of chardonnay.

Good night.

are you on about the shiney one or my new favourite wool one QS.
Also on the chardonnay. Cause it's friday.

Now I realise I'm talking to myself now but what about this hat with this dress and a choice of purple spotted wellies, tan leather heeled boots or flat brown suede boots.

Yup, love it with the hat.

Also FWIW I love the velvet dress. It isn't a usual wedding outfit, but then this isn't a usual wedding, that's the point isn't it?

I'm going to a similar sounding wedding in September (if I see someone in one of these outfits I'll say hi ) and I'm wearing a Monsoon dress with 50s style heels, and I'm taking a pair of flats in my bag for when I'm too pissed to walk walking about outside.

How about one of these?

Debut Black & ivory applique prom dress

Purple blossom print occasion dress

oh dear. i had too much wine and not enough people on my thread to tell me otherwise last night and have ordered the boden wool one. luckily did not order the beautiful but expensive hat but will look for something similar.

hope you're talking about the same wedding lowrib. that would be fun.

well at least while it's ordered i can stop fretting until i try it on.

Actually, I know it's pricey, but that hat is fab, it'll really make the outfit wedding-y. Is there any way you could justify it? You could sell it on after maybe? Or wear it lots instead, it's brilliant.

oh don't do that.
i love it too.
gah.

Sorry

I'll keep my eyes out for something similar and cheaper. When's the wedding?

Actually you've got me on one about hats now - so much so in fact that I've started a thread looking for a hat myself!

similar and cheaper?

oooh
