Ok so... I'm attending my boyfriends boss's wedding in around 2 weeks... I didn't know it was so soon.

I'm not too, how should I word it... familiar with weddings as all other ones I've been too I was either a bridesmaid or very young where you could wear anything and look cute.

I've found a couple so far which I would greatly appreciate anyone's opinions on them or what to accessorize them with, hair, shoes, bags etc!

I'm also 5ft7 and a size 8ish with long legs... just in case anyone needs to visualise the dresses on a particular figure haha!

Here it is:

The 3 dresses are either white or cream!!
You can't wear that colour to a wedding it's rude as you don't know what colour the brides in.

That's your personal opinion
I have my own and I don't think I'll be upstaging the bridge in any of those dresses as lovely as they are.
As it goes I'm only going to the evening part of it so photos etc will be long gone x

I agree with biaaatch, white or cream is not good etiquette for a wedding. They also look like modern trendy bridal dresses, ie, one that the BRIDE not a GUEST would wear. Which is a definite no-no.

Personally I'd take a look in somewhere like Oasis

who have some lovely dresses. Or Lipsy, although can head towards Gypsy wedding on some of the designs.

It's up to you.

However, the dresses you've chosen - the first one is the nicest of a grim bunch. But wrong colour. If it's an evening do, why do you want to wear white or cream?! Not very eveningy is it?

Sorry the third one is hideous.

Well with that reply it shows you have no idea of etiquette!!!
Wear what you like no one will be taking any notice of you

Getting cocky with a keyboard... classy.
