One of my friends had a specification that all the guests were to wear pink, white or black. Not a great fan of black, but it did mean the wedding photos didn't have any colour clashes. The best man put on a Pink Panther costume for the reception!

Mau - That's so cool! I really do love hats! The last wedding I went to was a Winter Blessing so I wore a feather headpiece! xx

Lunar - I struggle with dresses being a 12/14 bottom and a 16/18 top! Am currently browsing a few sites and looking for inspiration!

When my Nephew was getting married it stated on the invitation ---- The Bride Requests for all the Lady Guests to Wear Hats. First time i'd ever seen that happen before, but it was lovely and all we Laaaydeees had a nice opportunity to really dress up. Mau XX

Bec - you can wear whaever you want. If a dress fits poorly go for a 2 peice. You can do girly, it's just a case of finding the right outfit that fits correctly. Unfortunatly desingers tend to make everything for 6 ft, 5 stone super skinny modles, and not real girls.

Fred - Of course, was handwashed! lol

*waves at Julie and Lunar* The problem is I don't think I can pull off 'girlie'. There are some lovely floral dresses about to come on the market but I don't think it's me. Plus I struggle to wear dresses due to the fit. I quite like the idea of tailored shorts but don't have the legs to wear them :0(

Diana - I'm loving hats right now! Will do some research and find out what others are wearing! xx Nell - Good idea! I'll either get a pashmina or a wrap of some sort. Accessories accessories accessories!!! xx *waves handkerchief as Fred leaves*

Bec, both sound lovely, just don't upstage the bride. Don't over dress and take a jacket or wrap to keep you warm.

you sensible girl bec, my friend went and bought mother of the bride out fit yesterday, she bought a long dress with little jacket, in pale pale pink, shes hunted everywhere even on line, ended up typing in designers names montage condicci hope this helps becs

Bec Firstly, you should not upstage the bride. Secondly remember that English summers may be hot or cold, so perhaps an outfit with a matching jacket or a wrap. You don't want to be either sunburnt or goosepimply in a bustier! I think the dress idea sounds good. nell

You need to find out how dressy the wedding will be..... the last one I went too which was my step-daughters I was the only person in a hat other than my best friend!! :O) None of the others were classy enough!! :O)

Fred - I am NEVER getting married! xx

I'm thinking either a 'girly' dress with gloves, clutch bag and peephole sandals or pencil skirt, bustier and trilby. Any ideas?
