Second-time around Wedding Outfit

Hi...HELP! My 57 year-old long-term partner and I are getting married second-time around in the Summer of 2015.
Hotel ceremony, 200 guests.
She hasn't a clue what to wear......and I'm no help! She doesn't want to look like a blushing bride.....but she wants to stand out from the rest of the guests.
Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated.

A cream/ivory suit, a jacket either long or short over a shift dress looks fab.
Bhldn.com, Coast, Debenhams and bhs.co.uk have great high street options.
My old boss wore a beautiful champagne dress from coast when she married her long time partner. They had both been married before

Cream dress' are popular. I photographed a similar wedding and the nice thing about it was the head table in the middle of the floor. Very relaxed and intimate although there were 120 + guests there.

Could try and take a look on etsy http://www.etsy.com/ie/ just for idea's even, I have not purchased anything from there yet but if you click into the weddings page it breaks everything down for you head to the brides section and there is a great range of things there..

best of luck

I think the green suit (jacket and skirt) here are stunning!

Something like this from Lev Collection?

Not white, modest, lace, stylish!

You could do worse than look for something like what Camilla Parker Bowles wore when she married Charles.

I think she's a very stylish lady. Always very age appropriate. She doesn't get the credit she deserves!

Oh even a bit younger - what Paul McCartney's wife Nancy wore
