Blue for a British Wedding

09/10/21 | Fashion Friday, John Lewis, Kiss Products, Nordstrom, Summer Style, wedding

Fashion Blogger Kelly Donlin in British Wedding Attire - August in Europe

After what feels like a year and a half of cancelled social engagements it is so nice to have places to go and people to see!  Last month Mark and I drove a few hours out into the British countryside for the wedding of two of his friends.   They are both British and it was a very traditional Church of England wedding where I got to wear a fascinator!

I picked up this dress from my first time shopping at the British department store Fenwick in May. This MAX&Co. Primula Sleeveless Belted Midi Dress was originally £190 and I got it when it was marked down to £50.  I am wearing a small but if you are an XL they to have one left on the site! I had originally thought the dress would work well for my cousin’s wedding in Chicago but when I tried it on with this navy hat I knew it was a perfect fit.
To be truly accurate, this is not a hat, but a fascinator as it is essentially a headband and you have seen it before as i wore it 2.5 years ago as part of My Royal Ascot Attire.  I paired with black pumps and the shoes are some of my all time favorites, the .  They are from Target and extremely affordable but they seem to be sold out in every shade and size online so I have linked similar ones below. Take a look at my British wedding outfit:

    Too cute being so British. Really suits you and you two look adorable together.

    Must have been nice to feel a bit normal and go to a wedding and get all dressed up.

    He is so handsome in this photo and looks really really happy. You two make a sharp looking couple.

    The whole look is perfect and those hats always make me smile. So posh and British and fancy.

    Must make one feel like a princess when you put it on. Looks like it was a fun night.

    Such a pretty pattern and love the flow of the dress.

    Must have been really fun to dance in. Wish you had a video of it.
