In fact, a good wedding guest outfit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unlike a white bridal dress, should see you through other summery festivities, and into the winter as well (just add opaque tights and a shrug).
As it is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I already possess an Alberta Ferretti lilac shift, which still does well after a dozen outings; now all I need is a wedding invitation. Come on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where's the romance in the air?
None of which should be overly prescriptive, nor should anyone feel compelled to don flowery prints, if you prefer plain.
Obviously, if the bride is marrying in pink on the beach, then she might not mind if her best friend appears in a white miniskirt (although, to be honest, I'd rather not wear one of those under any circumstances).
Apricot-coloured silk with bow, £550 by Moschino (020 7318 0500). Purple silk sleeveless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], £139 by Jigsaw (jigsaw-online.com). Floral-print silk, £450 by Nicole Farhi (020 7499 8368)
If I were feeling rich, I'd buy a butterfly-print silk dress by Erdem (the one man who unites Samantha Cameron, Sarah Brown and Michelle Obama).
Liz Hurley appeared in a low-cut black sequinned evening dress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kate Moss in a green floral-print frock.
The bride wore strapless white satin, and so did her mother-in-law,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in keeping with the Swan Lake theme of the evening, complete with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Bolshoi Ballet performing in the grounds of the Caring family home in Hampstead.
Indeed, if one was to be very correct,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to my maternal grandmother's advice, it was prudent to follow similar rules to those imposed at the Henley Royal Regatta: knees must be covered, and skirts not split to the thigh.
In the real world, or at least the one that I inhabit, we were brought up to believe that wedding guests should never wear black or white or outshine the bride; hence floral prints as the default dress code.
I'm not a fan of weekly celebrity magazines - they make me feel depressed, in the same way Big Brother does - but there are certain society wedding pictures that are undeniably compelling.

The Closet Thinker: the well-dressed guest
BY Justine Picardie |11 July 2010
Take a quick look at last year's celebrations for a young couple named Elle Perfect and Ben Caring (son of Richard Caring, whose restaurant empire includes the Ivy and Le Caprice).
At the time there was some talk of Hurley outshining Moss - cleavage and glitter apparently being sexier than leafy chiffon - which only goes to show that in the parallel universe of the rich and famous the usual rules do not apply.

Much has changed since my grandmother's heyday (except at the Henley Stewards' Enclosure),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I remain unconvinced by the notion that weddings should be a sartorial free-for-all, unless you've had instructions to the contrary.
