Is this appropriate for a family summer wedding?

I have a family wedding in July and have found this dress online- love the colour and shape- is it a bit plain? I'd be planning on a statement necklace to give it a bit more character.....

I also like the colours in this dress but not sure about the shape- won't know until I try it on I suppose!

I had initially been looking for floral dresses so if anyone has seen anything nice in a similar shop I'd love a link!

Are either (or both) suitable for a family wedding- haven't been to a wedding in a very long time!

Thanks

First dress is beautiful, very fresh and simple. Introduce a strong colour in your accessories and it's a winner. Not mad about the second dress

I think the first dress is gorgeous and would be perfect for a summer wedding !!!

Another vote for the first dress - it's lovely.

Couldn't go wrong with a light blue.

First dress is nice. But if you are a size 24+ forget it...;)

Love the first dress as well! Great shape and looks flattering.

I think a floral dress will date quite easily (thinking about photos here) as floral prints are quite big at the moment.

Another vote for the first dress. Love it.

Thanks for all the replies, going to try on the first dress this week, when I look at it on my laptop and iphone the colours vary from lime green to yellow so will decide when I see it on!

Voting for the first dress, it's beautiful.

I wore a yellow dress to a summer wedding last year and paired it up with navy shoes and accessories and it looked really nice. It was a halter neck dress though so I didn't need a necklace. Plenty of colours will go with yellow.

Both dresses are very suitable for a Summer wedding - the first would be my choice too though

amdublin · 27-04-2014 12:14pm

Yes both dresses are suitable

dee_mc · 27-04-2014 2:23pm

Both suitable but the first is so much nicer!

I'm going to go against everyone here, but I'm not sure if the first is suitable, lovely colour and shape, but the slit at the front is a bit revealing, depends on your height I guess.

think im going to rob your idea and get the first dress myself for a wedding.
Hope we're not going to the same wedding

I don't like the second dress at all for a wedding. Far too casual and 'funky'.
First dress is lovely but more like something I would wear on a Saturday night out. It also seems quite short.
In my opinion neither dress is suitable. Sorry

In fairness it depends on what height the OP is too. The model in the first is 5'10.5 so quite tall and thus the dress looks short!
