The fear when you go to a wedding is that someone else is going to be wearing the same outfit as you. The high street is not necessarily that big in terms of choice so unless you happen to buy your outfit abroad or in an individual boutique then you heighten the chance of being spotted in the same items as your aunt or long lost cousin.

Some tips to make you really stand out when buying your outfit -
Customise is key and even if you do buy something in a high street store then think about how you can own it and make it yours. It may be as simple as shortening a length of a dress or changing the buttons on a jacket.
Accessorise cleverly and you will catch others attention especially if you look hard for unique pieces. A plain dress that you have had for years can be transformed and updated instantly if accessories are thought about carefully. The key accessories to purchase or hire for a wedding are hats, shoes, bags and jewellery items. Don’t go over the top on jewellery, one main piece has more effect than going for the whole shebang.
Dress agencies and vintage shops have a fantastic choice of unique dresses and outfits. Some may have been purchased abroad or have come from an iconic era which have fascinating detailing on them making the outfit really stand out. Persevere and rummage as sometimes it can get frustrating when you can’t your size. If the fit is slightly wrong on you, don’t give up and think about whether a tailor can fix the problem for you - doing it this way could save you money in the long run.
Call on a friend who has the same body shape as you to see if there is something in her wardrobe that you can borrow. No one will ever know and she will be flattered that you have asked. Friends are such saviours and if you can’t call on a friend who can you call on?
