My boyfriends been invited to a wedding reception (guy from work) at the end of august and he can bring a guest so he's asked me to come along. Now i have absolutly no idea what to wear to a wedding reception. The only weddings i've been to are when i was a bridesmaid and i was only old enough to remember one of them! I need ideas please!

You have to take into account where the reception is being held, if it's a buffet or a sit down meal or a disco or a combination of these things. Think smart and summery, a floaty skirt with sandals and a little top or a summer dress. If you prefer wearing trousers then smart linen ones with a dressier top. It's not usually that restrictive. Light colours and fabrics, something you feel comfortable in and that isn't too attention-grabbing (don't want any Bridezillas or Bridesmaidzillas on your hands) or dull.
I'm off to a wedding this Saturday; I'm so excited I've even bought a hat :hyper:
I did find a lovely little dress in dorothy perkins yesterday (before i was told about this reception) but its dark. :chin:
as you are a female, i presume skirt and top or dress would be fine!
if it was a very posh reception i generally go for shirt/tie combo and take my suit jacket just in case, can always take it off there.
still tempted for the little dress but it might be too dressy-uppy
Have you got a link for the dress so we can all see?

go to style advice, then to premium collection. Its the little black dress at the top with the bow waist.
