Am gonna be the Lady in red

But dunno how to make it weddingy really. Morning register office and afternoon reception in a pub so no need for fornicators or anything...

Also dunno what shoes to wear with it for black tie
I know you're all so good at this.
Thanks

needs cardi or shrug for wedding, probably flats, casual-ish bag

for dinner long earrings, clutch bag but possibly still only a small heel as it's dinner not a ball and othe people will be in short dreses

thanks mrs b
Any ideas for colour?

For the dinner I would wear metallic (pale silver or gold) or nude strappy heels. The dress is very glamorous so let it be the feature. Wear your hear out and loose. Its a really fantastic dress - enjoy!

Thanks bunny
I was REALLY pleased with the find actually, as I hardly ever go in Phase 8 but ds was asleep and I took a chance.
Also sales assistants were super helpful
I was thinking metallics for the dinner and I have a pale metallic clutch.
Still dunno about keeping warm at the wedding though.

PMSl at maribou
I won't be the evening's entertainment

I do have an amazing cuff like that actually that I bought in New Zealand (from the jeweller who made the ring for Lord of the rings but don't hold that against it) and I hardly ever wear it as it's BLARDY heavy
Good call

Will look for shrugs
That Phase 8 one is nice enough but q £
Will think on
