My youngest son who`se 37 has recently got engaged to his partner and they`ve booked their wedding in Cyprus for June next year. Of course I`ve been to many weddings over the years but this will be my first destination wedding and we`ve been told to wear whatever we like.
My son is very laid back in his choice of clothes, he doesn`t actually possess a suit and says he has no intention of buying one and his future wife doesn`t follow fashion either. Both of them tend to live in jeans or trackies, T shirts, hoodies and the like. She`s a nurse so spends most of her life in hospital clothes.
His wife to be is adamant she`s buying her wedding dress from a charity shop and will tweak it to her own taste, something along the lines of making it into a separate wrap around long skirt with a cropped top and a pair of matching shorts underneath the skirt for chill time in the evening after the meal etc.
I`m at a loss what to wear. I don`t want to look too formal but then again I don`t want to look as if I`ve just returned from the supermarket or a trip to the Doctor. I want to look nice but not overdressed and like a Mother of the Groom but not Hyacinth Bucket in a hot sweat.
Any suggestions for suitable websites or ideas will be welcomed.
