Wedding guest inspiration

The wedding season is here and I have been seeing lots of retailers advertising their wedding guest picks, so thought I would share some of my favourites with you.

As I have a fairly broad readership and I am a bit of an inbetweeny  myself I have included a broad range of size options but the sizes available are below the pictures to avoid frustrations.

Phase Eight

Phase Eight carry up to a size 20 and their jersey dresses I especially get on well with as my bust is a bit bigger than a 20 in materials with no give.
They have the most stunning selection of dresses!

They actually have a Wedding boutique section on the site HERE


This is by far my favourite, it is just do beautiful in the details, the mandarin collar and the buttons, and the beautiful muted colours are perfect for a spring wedding.


Size 8-20

Next on my list is this stunning Navy and floral dressI love the dark background and the pretty colours of the flowers.
Size 8-20

My next choice is this sexy little number which would be perfect for an evening guest.

Size 8-20

My Last dress selection from Phase Eight is a Maxi, I love their jersey maxi most fit fairly well on someone up to a size 22
Peony Print Maxi Dress £120
Size 8-20

Accessories are fabulous from Phase 8



Another place I love to shop for a wedding outfit is Debenhams, they have a very good size range.
Debenhams also have an amazing range of accessories and shoes, its perfect for a one stop shop without all the faffing!

The first dress that has caught my eye is this beautiful broderie prom dress.
Size 8-24

Next is this pretty spot print dress with a pleated skirt, so simple and pretty!

Size 10-24

I love the next dress, it is bang on the Monochrome trend and just a little different, could be easily brightened up with match accessories in a strong colour.
Size 12-24

Simply Be

Simply be are a godsend for me and many plus size women, the size ranges are fantastic.

My first choice is this gorgeous floral number which is so pretty for a springtime wedding.
Size 12-32

Next is something for an evening guest, it is a dark base but the sparkle makes it suitable for the evening.
Size 14-32

This next dress is from Joanna Hope and is available in standard and petite length which is perfect for short arses like me!
Size 12-32

I love the vibrant colour of the this last dress.
Rise Grace Bead Neck Dress £60
Size 14-32

Wedding Guests

Wedding Guest and puppy love!

On Saturday we attended the wedding of an old friend, it was such a beautiful day and the bride was amazing!

It was held in a gorgeous little hotel just outside Wigan in Standish called Ashfield house hotel

I was feeling very ill that day after a 3 hour drive to my parents in west yorkshire then another hour drive to the wedding after a short break and getting changed.

I had originally planned to wear a gorgeous maxi dress I bought from Evans but due to a nightmare taking it up, I instead wore my favourite silvery grey dress from Style 369 from a while ago.

I looked a bit of a mess to be honest my hair decided to not go curly and i was pale and pasty all day, lol But i still felt lovely as my Husband thought I looked gorgeous, so all was good in the end.

The other guests wore some beautiful clothes too, sixties shift style dresses, colour blocking and Maxi dresses.

Please excuse the hilariously bad pictures but my best friend Andrew told me to say Cervix! he does this to me a lot.
My Husband Marc puts up with my craziness very well, Thank goodness. 


This weekend we finally had to admit that my dog Toby did get my mum and dads dog Ruby pregnant, so will be finding some good homes for puppies in a few weeks I think.
 She is a total babe though!
 Hello Puppies!! xxxx

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend and have a good week ahead of you.

Love Mhairi. xxx
