What to wear to wedding in Florence in May?

[BusyMummy78]

We're off to Florence for a wedding in mid-May. My DH is best man, but any ideas what I could wear? I'm 31, size 8 pear-shape, 5'1".

Undecided whether to buy new outfit or try and wear something I already have (DH would favour latter option!).

Thanks.

Italians getting married?

If so, ime you cannot be too overdressed for Italian wedding which is a Good Thing i feel.

Ah, Florence, lucky you!

Actually I'm not sure I'm talking to you because your'e only 31 and only a size 8

I think you should go for a floaty slip of chiffon in a fashionable nude shade

I can't offer any style advice really (although I think a floaty number is a chic idea as it will be nice and cool) but wanted to say how rude of you to show off about being invited to a wedding in Florence in May

too jealous to offer advice! but yes bling it up

If you have a cool floaty dress, can you make it feel like a new outfit by buying new shoes and a bag and wrap to go with it?
DH will be happy you're recycling clothes, you will be happy to have a chance to go and buy something new!

Bride & Groom not Italian - they are friends who just wanted a small wedding and liked Florence.

Do you think a dress is better than skirt & top combo?

Definitely a dress - less hassle and just looks more put together.

Do you have something suitable? If not whats your budget?

How about the Anthropologie wind catcher dress in my thread? It is lovely and if I can't waer it, maybe you could!

I'm thinkiong something like this - but perhaps something with less structure, more float..

Sazisi - like that dress but think you're right; I need something less structured.

overmydeadbody - I quite like the Anthropologie Drifting by dress.

Budget is £150.

How are you with halters?

If its a church wedding don't forget to cover your shoulders even if its just for the ceremony.

This is very pretty I think

Love the suggestions.

Thank you.
