Wedding Outfit Shopping

If you’re a regular reader of the blog then you’ll know that May is always a busy month for us with lots of birthdays to celebrate. This means that our spending goes a little out of whack – especially with many of our friends (and myself) turning 40 this year.

We have a family wedding next week and amongst all the birthday celebrations the wedding seemed to have suddenly crept upon us. Cue panic because we all need to find something to wear! Finding the right outfit to wear at a wedding can be a bit of a headache and there’s a lot to think about. Compton House of Fashion has written this useful guide to wedding guest dress etiquette which I found pretty useful and a good introduction to the minefield of what to wear and, perhaps more importantly, what not to wear.

I went to my go-to place to shop a couple of weekends ago (TK Max) and managed to pick out a blue dress – my favourite colour for a bargain £25. It’s really flattering but I’m not sure if I’ll wear it. It’s above the knee which I think is a little short for a family wedding. I do have another option I can wear though, so I will see how I feel on the day. I’m not really a hat person for weddings but weddings are an excuse to get dressed up so I may look into changing my hair with hair extensions. Lilyhair has a range of custom human hair toppers and wigs and hair extensions that I think would work really well.

Mr H will be wearing his new Navy Suit from Dobell which left having to find something for the boys. They grow so quickly that it didn’t make sense to spend a fortune. I wanted to find a shirt and a tie for them both but we had no luck in Primark or H&M. I then remembered that Debenhams has a good range of clothes for children and found a really cute waistcoat, shirt and tie set and a couple of t-shirts for our holiday to Spain next month.

Our order arrived after just a few days and the waistcoat, shirt and tie set to fit them both perfectly. I do think they look rather handsome in them – what do you think?
