Hi everyone,
My daughter's wedding is back on for July ?
Does anyone have any recommendations for shops I can buy my outfit?
I've no idea where to start.

I went for Jacques Vert for both my daughters wedding.

My elder daughters wedding the dresss,jacket,hat,shoes and bag came to just over £500.By my younger daughters wedding I had been told about Boundary Mill and got a very similar outfit with identical shoes and bag but in a different colour for £150.

I’ve recently got my MOB outfit from Gina Bacconi from John Lewis. I find her dresses fit very well. There’s also a stand alone website. I ordered a hat from there,which wasn’t suitable,and returned it and was refunded promptly. Even better with 30% off.

Are any of these suggestions useful for you Foxgloveandroses?

In recent years, I bought all wedding outfits in Jacques Vert, reasonably priced and comfortable to wear. They were mostly dressed, one two-piece skirt and top.
They wash beautifully as well so no need for fussy dry cleaning.
Good luck, I hope you find something you like and enjoy the day when it comes around!
