How much would the bridesmaids hate me?

How much would the bridesmaids hate me?

I freaking love these shoes from Bella Belle, but I realize they're a lot. If you were a bridesmaid and these were the shoes, how would you feel about them? Would you wear them with glee? Politely bow out of the wedding? I would never opt for them for an outdoor wedding, but indoors? Perfectly doable?

Wedding shape wear?

Hi All!

im not getting married until next summer but I’ve found my dress 💖

it’s nothing crazy or over special… in fact it’s quite underwhelming 🤭. but I love it because it’s a bateau neckline (2 toddlers; I’ll be bending down all day tending to them… last thing I want is to be constantly worried I’ll flash someone haha!) and it’s the kind of dress that can be altered afterwards so that I could wear it again and again.

it is, however, very heavy viscose (almost like a jersey fabric)and a mermaid shape (it’s a Coast dress if anyone has and experience with them) so it clings and hugs (which is great because I’m curvy)… however the one place it hugs the most is the dreaded mum tum/apron belly.

as it’s a UK summertime wedding, the last thing I want is layers and layers of armour underneath cinching and pulling in all the places. at the moment, I have;

my bra

my ”wear your own bra” shape wear body with shorts (to smooth my back so my bra isn’t visible and also to stop the old chub rub) because I can’t find a shorts body that has a good underwired bra - they all seem to be the same material as the shapewear with no underwire or shaping.

my wed2b wunderskirt mermaid petticoat (which also smooths, which isn’t required but as the dress is extremely bodycon, I figured the more compression the better… right?)

then my dress (which is long sleeve, bateau neckline, from the A/W season so it’s heavier than a summer style).

I am going to be sweltering , aren’t I?

I would really love to find something all in one: like a mermaid smoothing underskirt with built in chum rub shorts and a built in bra.

does such a thing exist?

Is it okay for my husband to wear white to a weeding?

My husband (30M) and I (31F) will be attending a semi-formal wedding this summer with our son, who will be 8 months old by then.

I found a super cute outfit for our son: blue pants, a bowtie, and a white dress shirt; and it got me thinking that it would be lovely if we all coordinated a little. I’ll be wearing a blue dress, and my husband has an elegant blue shirt that would match really well with a pair of Italian-style pants that are mostly white with very thin blue lines. From a distance, though, they look almost completely white.

At first I didn’t think twice about it, but now I’m wondering if it could come across as disrespectful for a wedding. Should I look for different pants for my husband?

Dress suggestions for black tie wedding?

Hi,

I have been to a few weddings over the years but this is my first black tie dress code.

Could anyone offer me guidance on what to wear to such a dress code? The wedding is next month and I am starting to panic that I haven't found anything to wear yet. My husband will be wearing a tux per the dress code and I want to wear something that will look good alongside it.

Thanks

Smart / cocktail

Hi all, can someone help explain to me what a “smart / cocktail” wedding outfit involves please? I’m attending a wedding in the UK this month and I have no clue what this means… websites aren’t really helpful and I don’t want to make a fool of myself. I prefer to dress on the more covered side of things and so ideally would wear maxi and long sleeves too :S but I’m seeing everything online say that “tea” / midi length means cocktail. It’s a daytime wedding I should add, and in a barn!
