Wedding attire?

[Anonymous]

July wedding in Stratford-upon-Avon in England. Weather.com says temps should be in the 60s/70s. Catholic wedding in a church at 3PM, then reception at the bride's parent's home (which I think is a fairly nice farm). Would love ideas on what to wear - links appreciated!

Height/weight/body type? age?

I'm pretty sure I could fit in your suitcase. Take me, please! Sounds "lovely."

You must have a hat.

38 years old. 5'9" 180 lbs (size 14).

Don't want a hat, but maybe a small fascinator. Ideal dress would be somewhat structured vs flowy. Bonus if I can shake it out or easily iron it as I'll be arriving the day before the wedding and the dress will have been crushed on the flight.

Oh, and one more thing, budget for dress is $300 (though less is great!).

NP here. I like what you've posted. Can you send me links for other stuff you like?

OP here - thanks, 14:31! All pretty and I love the style, but the chiffon is too "flowy" for my taste. A more structured style will work better for me. For instance, I love a lot of the Kate Spade bright dresses, but they're all a little too short for me. (They look fine while standing, but get too short for my comfort when I sit, and border-line obscene when I cross my legs!) Keep the tips coming, please!

I was at a wedding outside London last year and only the mothers of the bride and groom wore hats and there were maybe 3 or 4 guests with facinators. You can totally skip it unless you're just really excited about it. And think flats or wedges.

14:31 here. I love shopping for other people! What do you like/what is your approximate body shape?

Another NP here asking 14:31 to outfit me. I need two different dress suggestions. One for a beach wedding (no shoes during ceremony) and one for a wedding in Baltimore. Both in May. Size 14 and big boobs. I tend to like shifts/sheaths to hide my stomach but am open to anything that would flatter.

I like these for the beach. It is tough to find sheaths that look appropriate for a barefoot, beach event since sheaths, and shifts, are a bit tailored-looking.

This one might be too dressy.

ffy on the pattern but like the shape. V-neck is good for fuller chests.

This is a looser fit but much more casual/summer/beachy

I like this for the "regular" B-More wedding

10:01 again. Thank you! I really like several of these, especially the Tory Burch dress. I wish I could think of other stuff I need you to outfit me for while I have your attention. Ha.
