Wonderful brains trust, I need your advice on the choice of an outfit for a wedding I have been invited to.
The catch ..... the wedding is for an Australian friend of my husband, and his wife-to-be is from the Phillipines. The wedding is being held in Iloilo City, in the Phillipines. The church is a fantastic, incredibly decorative old church, and the reception is at a very fancy upmarket hotel. Its at the end of the year (December 31), so gonna be nice and hot.
The invitation doesn't stipulate if its formal or semi-formal, although I figure with the fancy church, it might need to be reasonably formal. Its an early afternoon wedding, but an evening reception.
So I am needing a semi-formal to formal outfit for the wedding, and possibly another outfit for the reception. I would love some ideas on what might be expected, and what might be appropriate for the time of year. And of course, what will be suitable for a short, tubby woman in her late 40's.
Looking forward to reading some of what I know will be great suggestions.
