5 Wedding Outfit Ideas

It’s that time of year. Wedding season.  I used to take them for granted and throw on anything but now I am so grateful to be invited as they are few and far between, I want to make an effort.  John Lewis has some lovely dresses, shoes and accessories to make dressing for silly season easy. Below are 5 different outfits for all manner of weddings.

Country Chic

Vixen Millinary Disc Hat £320

Upmarket colour combination. Pale blue and brown are lovely on those with ‘Spring colouring’. (Throw back tip from when I did women’s colour analysis.) Warm skin and golden hair and you wont look like mother of the bride (not that there is anything wrong with that, but there is a time and a place for everything and not looking like one when you have a 3 year old!)

Gina Bacconi Crochet Taupe Dress NOW £130

Slightly capped sleeve and flattering waistband.

Buy Gina Bacconi Crochet Floral Guipure Dress, Summer Taupe Online at johnlewis.com

LK Bennet Pale Blue Court £210

I know it is slightly naff these to do matchy matchy, but when it comes to a wedding, scrap that view point as it makes you look smart and like you have made an effort.  Nothing red lips won’t cure anyway.

Whistles Navy Lace Dress £195

I wore a navy lace dress to the last wedding I went to and didn’t have any complaints. Universally flattering colour and these arms are perfect for those with the onset of bingo wings.

Sunnier Climes

Snoxells Black Occasion Hat £500

Boho Cool

Snoxells Camilla Twisted Straw Hat £225

Original colour combincation – this takes you a step on from the usual fascinator, which unless it is something different, can’t say I am a fan of the ‘bog standard token bit of straw on your head’. (Do it or don’t do it, nothing inbetween).

Ghost Christy Black Dress £245

This dress could be pulled out again & again for casual, smart, evening. I love it. Perfect for who are on the tallish side already and want to be further elongated.

Have to throw in a pom pom somewhere in this post. A yellow one too! It can’t fail to make you smile.

City Slicker

Rebecca Couture Disc Fascinator £260

This is utterly stylish. I love it. Pin your hair away from your face & keep everything else relatively simple. You could wear this with a black bin liner and no one would even look down.

In case they do look down, wear this cut out dress. Not too tight so you can tuck into the eats without worrying about an expanding tum.
