What to wear to a wedding over 40 | 40plusstyle.com

Lorraine is one of 40+Manner's super stylish readers and invitee contributors and she recently attended a wedding in South Africa. She asked me if I would exist interested to receive pictures of the wedding and what 40+ women wore. My answer was a wholehearted Aye as I e'er get asked for ideas on what to wearable to a wedding.

I always refer them to my article How to dress when you are the mother of the bride (or groom) where I share my best tips and show you some examples of dresses available in stores.

However, cypher beats real-life examples of xl+ women. So thanks Lorraine for sharing these images with u.s.a. and telling u.s.a. a petty chip about the hymeneals besides!

A wedding ceremony in South Africa

When my cousin Robyn invited me to her wedding in April I jumped at the gamble to visit S Africa for the second time.

Robyn is the daughter of my father'southward blood brother Tony, and he and his wife Avril welcomed me into their Johannesburg domicile for the calendar week preceding the hymeneals. Apart from a sightseeing trip to the Cullinan Diamond Mine, the week was filled with preparations. As the maid of honour arrived from Australia and one of the bridesmaids from Thailand, the house filled up, excitement mounted and last minute hitches were overcome.

Preparations were made all the more challenging as the wedding was held at the Black Equus caballus Estate in Magaliesburg located about an hr outside Johannesburg. Set in the beautiful Zeekoeihoek valley on the edge of the Magalies river it was originally a stud subcontract; it now offers an artisanal craft brewery, food and accommodation.

Robyn had a very clear vision of how she wanted her wedding ceremony to exist – natural, beautiful, relaxed and personal – and had thought everything through to the very final item. Many of the finishing touches had to be transported there. As close friends and family arrived the solar day before the nuptials, everybody mucked in – I helped with the flowers and table settings – and the rehearsal was finished off with an evening braii (BBQ).

The dress code for the wedding was 'smart/casual' and I had a vision of the dress I wanted to habiliment – something floral, preferably with roses, and pink. I found the perfect one – a silk dress past LK Bennett, a top end high street label here in the UK. The weather condition (South Africa was going into winter) required something warm, so I chose a cardigan rather than a jacket.

Here is what other xl+ women wore.

On the solar day of the nuptials mean solar day I had lunch with my uncle as the other guests arrived and then we got gear up for a perfect wedding, filled with love and laughter, for a lovely couple, Robyn and Hudson.

Note from Sylvia: Thank you again Lorraine for this lovely report. You lot and all the other women looked superbly stylish. I dear how so many of you embraced color and impress. The bride and groom looked stunning too.
