If you want a simple evening wedding dress that still feels “bridal”, the most reliable styles are minimalist satin/silk, clean A-lines, modern slip dresses, long-sleeve minimal gowns, and short or tea-length designs. Simple works when the fabric has enough weight and the cut sits cleanly on your body—bad fabric and sloppy finishing show up fast in minimal styles. For evening ceremonies, pay at...

If you’re trying to choose an affordable but good-quality bridesmaid dress, the safest approach is: set a realistic UK budget (often £40–£120), pick a fabric that drapes well (usually matte > shiny), and buy only if it passes a quick quality check (opaque/lined, strong seams, smooth zip).

Yes—black is usually acceptable for a UK daytime wedding, especially for indoor, modern venues and invitations that lean cocktail, formal, or black tie. It can feel “off” when the wedding is very traditional (especially a church ceremony with older guests), very daylight-outdoors (marquee/garden/lawns), or genuinely casual (pub lunch, relaxed garden party)—where plain black can read heavy, seri...
