wedding guest outfit - lavish alice ♥

After recently coming back from a wedding this week, I wanted to do a short and sweet post about what I wore. Although I knew the big day was arriving, I had never been to a wedding before so I was quite worried about finding the right dress. With the wedding based in Spain, this did give me more options to reach for bright and bolder colours but either way, I learnt a few tips and tricks when I started my big dress hunt! To start with I made a list of every shop I could think of: Reiss, ASOS, Phase Eight, Chi Chi London, Lipsy and Karen Millen. I gave myself months to begin looking at what style of dress I wanted and what would suit my body shape. 

I ordered quite a few different styles from ASOS because my original idea of wearing a fitted bardot dress didn't feel dressy enough when I tried them on. Luckily I found this fire engine red midi dress from Lavish Alice on ASOS and I fell in love instantly, the material was light and perfect in the hot Spanish sun. The tie up back was slightly tricky but luckily the boyfriend and the best friend were close by to help with that department. I paired the dress with my favourite gold Zara heels and a small black and gold clutch bag from Primark. My best tip would be to definitely try on dresses outside of your original idea and comfort zone, I ended up finding a perfect choice and I couldn't be happier!
