Wouldn't you like a white dress? It only happens once, so might you want the pretty dress?
White trousers and a red tie sounds fine, although matching reds can be a bit of a nightmare. Would a smart white or cream skirt suit and the red tie idea work for you?0 -
you say you aren't butch but do you prefer trousers to a skirt?
the outfit you suggest sounds fine - but if a skirt is an option, how about a dark red skirt & white top? Or maybe dark red trousers & a white top - maybe a waistcoat?
Even black "bottoms" with a red or white or red & white top would work well ...
Personally I think it's lovely when both girls where dresses/skirts rather than one being the "girly" and the other the "butch" figure!0 -
That's not very constructive. If you don't like or have any respect for what the OP is doing, then there is no need to post.0

what about a mandarin jacket and cream trousers? or a punjabi style tunic and trousers - you have a huge choice of colours and embroidery0

I would probably go either for grey (maybe even silverish) or black trousers. I think 2 white people next to each other might be a bit too much white...
And I would definitely go for well fitted shirt if you have the figure for it.
Any kind of budget?0 -
I wouldn't worry about Woody...I just don't think he likes ladies very much given some of his recent comments.
Have you thought about wearing a contrasting dress to your OH - maybe in the same dark red as the hotel decor - would look great with your dark hair.
Hope you have a fab day xx0 -
Woody01, I think I see some children not up chimneys and a woman showing her ankles - run back to the dark ages and if you cant post something constructive then don't post at allDoc Martins
Camouflage Trousers
Muscle Vest
What only happens once?
You mean two women pretending to get married? They can pretend as many times as they like and it will never be marriage.
Get real........

Have a great day - we are going to our friend's civil ceremony in September but the outfits are a big secret so can't offer any suggestions from that - I think one is wearing a dress and the other is wearing trousers but that's because they each feel comfortable like that and want to wear it, unfortunately I won't see anything until after your wedding.
I do think a red dress would look fab and contrast really well with your gf. My sister wore a red wedding dress and it was stunning and everybody talks about it still.
Just as long as you are comfortable that's the only thing that matters. Good luck x0
