Dresses for a wedding or two

I have two weddings to go to this summer, and me and my dress knowledge is well, lacking.
I really don't know what sort of style to go for. Generally, does it have to be very formal? Or summer-y? Plain or patterned?
If anyone has any pictures/websites of the sort of dress that'd be even better!
And can I put a cardigan with it? And will it look bad if I keep my Reading 2009 band on... just I can't get it off... and that and my watch helps hide/ draw attention away from scars. Hmmm... I remembered why weddings are a hassle! ha ha

Or Monsoon.
Cardigans are fine, or something like a shrug or a wrap if you want to cover up a bit.
Katralla - that dress is
Both are for during the day, not yet sure if there are evening plans. One wedding I am "just" a guest, the other I have to do a reading for, so I suppose something a bit smarter for that.
Oh yeah, I forgot about shoes. Ah, I can't wear heals... this will be fun!
My budget is bigger if I can wear the same dress to both... otherwise it's a tight budget, what with me being a student and having to pay for a month in Canada! Ooops!
That's beautiful. I wouldn't wear it to a wedding though - the bride might not be too happy! Better to steer clear of anything that close to white or cream in colour.
i'm going to a wedding in 3 weeks and i bought a lovely dress from there!
It's pretty much this http://www.coast-stores.com/JOLEEN-BLOUSE/All-Tops/coast/fcp-product/2233639006 but in black with longer sleeves and a gold belt. I think i'll also get this one though And just wear them with a long or knee length black skirt
Oh yeah, good point. I would want it in green anyway.
I might just be old and frumpy, but I'd see that as a bit short for a wedding. In my mind, this is more of a 'wedding length':

That said, it depends how formal an occasion it is. If you're going to a bash in the local pub, you'll get away with more than one in a cathedral
Depends how much of a bridezilla you're dealing with, too. I didn't give a shit what people wore to my wedding, but some brides might have a full scale panic attack on seeing someone wearing anything informal/raunchy/ivory!
Probably! And looking round at the other New Look dresses, they all seem to be that kind of shortness, so maybe their model is just Amazonian?

Or this one is really pretty

I am liking the price of the New Look dresses :thumb: but think I prefer the style of the others (yes, the expensive ones), I think a plainer one will go better though, maybe. Think I shall go shopping some stage in the next few weeks- definately take a trip to Coast and New Look though.
Guess I have to do a bit of :chin: !
not sure about the first one for a wedding but the second one is gorgeous, looovely.
I tend to cover up with a nice cardigan in summer or a good quality blazer in winter.
In fact the last dress I wore to a wedding was the one Rhianna is wearing in this pic!
