‘Far too casual for a wedding' people say as guest proudly shows off her ‘picnic' dress with flip-flops
Wedding season has well and truly arrived, which means many people have been taking to social media to share their stylish frocks and gowns.

Amongst them is also TikToker Rosie Ridgers who recently attended '' a casual wedding '' and was dressed fit for the occasion.
The brunette beauty, who now lives in Barcelona, Spain, was deciding between four different picks - an adorable Gingham maxi dress, a flattering dress in pastel yellow, a gorgeous satin pink skirt teamed with a light yellow waistcoat, as well as as maxi lace number in pink and yellow.
However, despite being told by social media critics that the red and white Gingham dress was ''too casual'', it was this option Rosie went with.
In the follow-up clip before the romantic ceremony, the style lover modelled the cute sleeveless dress that she had paired with a white pearl necklace, a chic updo, as well as some golden jewellery.
Yet it was the choice of footwear that seemed to cause the most uproar in the comments - as Rosie decided to do rock comfy black flip-flops.
All chuffed with the final look, she wrote: ''The wedding guest dress that you all called 'too casual'.
''Do you still agree?''
'Flip flops for wedding is wild'
But while Rosie looked stunning - and was comfortable - keyboard warriors weren't sure if the final outfit was fit for a wedding.
The clip, posted under the username @ rosieridgers, has since racked up more than 173k views in less than 24 hours, with over 90 people flooding to comments.
One person thought: ''it's super cute but 1000% too casual. this is like a brunch or picnic or just summer weekend look.''
Frankie Bridge slammed by fans again for SHEER wedding guest dress that's 'too much' and will 'upstage the bridge'
Meanwhile, someone else said that Rosie's decision to sport flip-flops at a wedding was ''wild''.
Another agreed, writing: ''Maybe just add a strappy heel (even a low one)... The flip flops are defo too casual (certainly for a day 1).''
A fourth chimed in sharing how they'd make the cute ensemble more ''wedding-appropriate'' in their eyes.
''Sweet kitten heel would have made this wedding appropriate. Flip flops would not be my choice.''
''cute but casual, makes me think of those gingham dresses used to wear to primary school,'' commented a viewer.
Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette
If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.
Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom.
Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided.
Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not.
Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered.
Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride.
'It was such a casual wedding'
After being slammed in the comments, Rosie hit back at the critics, ordering them to ''relax''.
''Guys, this is a bit of a wind up, it was such a casual wedding! And I knew that going into it, they wanted everyone to be extra comfortable & happy during the evening!
''It was such a special way to organise it and I knew some of you would debate it in the comments BUT some of you are taking it too far.

Amanda Holden, 54, flashes her peachy bottom in a windswept kaftan as she shares racy poolside snaps during her Greece getaway
Amanda Holden shared a very cheeky snap of herself flashing her bottom in a windswept kaftan as she posed for a series of poolside photos. The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, is currently on a sun-soaked Greece getaway with her best pal and Italian Job co-host Alan Carr. Taking to her Instagram on Wednesday, the mum-of-two turned up the heat in a SKIMS tiger print kaftan, worth a whopping £242. She teamed it on top of a matching £200 swimsuit and added inches to her frame with a pair of black heels. The beauty caught the eye in the sexy outfit as she gave a glimpse of her sizzling figure while posing up a storm in front of a stunning ocean backdrop. Amanda rounded off the slew of racy snaps with a sweet photo of Alan, as they enjoyed a drink by the pool. Amanda Holden shared a very cheeky snap of herself flashing her bottom in a windswept kaftan as she posed for a series of poolside snaps on Instagram on Wednesday It comes just days after Amanda put on a leggy display as she showcased her incredible figure on a boat. The star could be seen soaking up the sun in a flattering teal bikini in a snap shared on Monday. Wearing her wet hair back, the star accessorised with a pair of large black sunglasses as she posed on the front railing of a boat. She captioned the picture: 'Wearing @isabellemeiraswim.' Fans of the radio presenter were quick to praise her bikini snap, with the swimwear designer praising: 'Looking incredible as ever. Hope you're having a fabulous trip!'; 'I hope this is one of your outfits on the next series of BGT.'; 'You look awesome in a bikini xx.' Amanda recently struck a similar pose in the orange wrap-around bikini, this time accessorising with a straw hat and sunglasses. She could be seen relaxing outside a villa and again lounging by an infinity pool and wrote 'soaking it all up'. Opening up about how she stays in shape to Cosmopolitan, Amanda said: 'I have to run for my rosé wine in the summer and run for my red wine in winter. 'And I don't do it because I feel I have to; I do it for my own discipline and dignity.' Amanda also credited running for helping to clear her head. However, despite being so slim, Amanda stressed that she does not diet. Instead, she credits her flat stomach to a specific kind of yoga. She told the Express: 'I love Kundalini yoga. I just think it's really good for breath control. 'It's really good for sort of getting out any stress or tension." 'It's sort of a powerful empowering yoga, it's not the sort of yoga that everybody enjoys or loves. 'But for me, I feel really powerful and centred after - all of that sounds really cheesy, but that's how I feel.'

'My holiday in Croatia was nearly ruined by weather but Lidl hack saved me'
A group of holidaymakers were thwarted by unexpected rain on their sunny break in Croatia, and were forced to get creative with their footwear, with a supermarket chain coming to the rescue Thousands of Brits are jetting off to sunnier climes for their much-anticipated summer breaks, with the holiday season in full throttle and many are yearning for a dose of sunshine. Yet, one woman's vacation took an unforeseen twist that caught her completely off-guard. In a candid TikTok post, Anna, known as @ on the platform, divulged that despite eagerly awaiting her "whole year" for a foreign escape, the reality fell short of expectations. Astonishingly, it was Lidl that provided an unexpected lifeline in a most remarkable fashion. Anna documented her Croatian adventure, where she wittily insinuated that British weather has a tendency to tail you overseas, as shown by footage of tourists getting drenched in an abrupt rainstorm – hardly the scenario one envisions when travelling to a hotspot renowned for its radiant sun. The footage shows the moment the group, clad in summer attire and prepped for exploration, were caught off-guard by the downpour. Faced with conditions unsuitable for flip-flops, they resourcefully donned Lidl carrier bags over their feet. This makeshift life hack sent viewers into fits of giggles, with the spontaneous display of 'supermarket fashion' proving to be a hit of hilarity. The clip swiftly became an internet sensation, garnering thousands of views and sparking a flurry of comments, with users quick to make light-hearted remarks about the incident. One playful commenter quipped: "Be careful with those Lidl bags. My friend got temporary tattoos out of the logos in Croatia." Another joined in with praise, saying: "So stylish." A third person posed the question: "Lidl shoes?" Meanwhile, another individual recounted their time abroad, stating: "Haven't met any other Brits in Split yet. This weather would reunite us, I fear." Anna later admitted that while the weather did improve, it's important to maintain a positive outlook during your holiday, even when faced with less than sunny skies. What's the climate like in Croatia? The summer months are ideal for basking in the Croatian sun, especially along its scenic coast. July is celebrated for its scarce rainfall and abundant sunshine, but winter can introduce cooler and more humid conditions. With an impressive average of over 2,700 hours of sunlight annually and claiming more than 300 days of sun, Split has earned its status as a vibrant destination, as noted by the Intelligent Cities Challenge. However, be prepared for colder and rainier weather during the winter season in Split. And always bear in mind that weather predictions are not always reliable, particularly in popular holiday destinations where the weather can change unexpectedly.

Consistent and stoic, Leah Williamson is most natural of unnatural leaders
Leah Williamson stops, unable to scrape the grin off her face, pizza in hand, hair still damp from the post-match shower and a fat lip. 'Not annnother one?!' I say to her, mimicking her parody of the viral general election clip after England lifted the Finalissima. 'Annnother one?!' she replies, still grinning. I am not the only one who remembers the clip. 'NOT ANOTHER ONEEEEEE,' Lauren Hemp commented on Williamson's Instagram post. The 28-year-old has reason to be cheerful, she is creating history over and over and over again – the girl whose mum used to park the car at the edge of a pitch with the headlights on at 6am so she could train in the dark before school is now the first England captain to lift two major trophies and help deliver England's first tournament win on foreign soil, coming two months after she tasted European glory with her childhood club Arsenal. Records are tumbling. Barriers are being broken. Doors are being opened. The Williamson-helmed team that, for at least a brief period, united a divided nation, is led by vocal advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, furious opponents of racism, defenders of the environment, campaigners against poverty and warriors for equality for women and girls and is redefining what it means to be 'proper English'. In May, at Arsenal's Champions League trophy lift outside the Emirates, Williamson spoke of what that win meant. 'I always said 'trophy for England over the trophy for Arsenal' because you don't pick your country, it's a bit more of a fate thing, a bit more luck needs to be involved,' she said, her emotion evident. 'But I feel ashamed now because that feeling was, I think right now, the happiest I've ever been in my whole entire life and I hope that other Arsenal fans are because I know I lived a dream.' The thing is, Williamson doesn't have to choose. She can have it all. She has it all. 'The first half took a lot of defensive actions,' she says of the showdown against Spain in Basel. 'They went our way and we were in the right place at the right time and I did get a feeling like I did in the Champions League final. I thought: 'Today is our day.' To do that? What a year. I can't think about it too much or I'll cry. If I reflect on the last couple years since that last win in 2022, I'm proud.' The Arsenal centre-back was superb in Switzerland, flying under the radar a little amid the hype around England's supersubs, consistently delivering despite a conveyor belt of centre-pack partners during the tournament – first Alex Greenwood, then Jess Carter, then Esme Morgan, then Carter again. In the final, no player dribbled past Williamson or Carter, they had the joint-most blocked shots and Williamson had more defensive actions and clearances than any other player on the pitch. Critically though, her range of passing was exceptional, her diagonal balls a vital component in England's forward play. She made more line-breaking passes than any other defender at the tournament, a total bettered only by the Spain midfielder Patri Guijarro. Williamson is a big-game player. She was also part of an Arsenal backline that did not concede a foul in the Champions League final in as close to a perfect performance as you can get on the way to the Gunners' second European title, but she is also a small-game player, consistent and stoic. Few who have followed Williamson's career would have been surprised when she was named as Steph Houghton's successor as captain of the Lionesses in 2022, despite the presence of more senior heads such as Lucy Bronze, Millie Bright and Ellen White and her having only 20 caps at the time. She has often been cited as being wise beyond her years, the former Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro describing her 'maturity, understanding of the game and positional sense' to those of a 30-year-old, when she was 25. Chloe Kelly knew much earlier than that. 'I remember stepping into Arsenal at 12 years old and saying to my parents: 'Leah's going to be England captain one day,'' she said. 'She's just an incredible girl, shows great leadership qualities and is so approachable, someone that I get on so well with. To captain England at major tournaments there is a lot of pressure but it doesn't show in Leah's personality at all. She's just so consistent, highs, lows and everything in between. She's a great England captain.' Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion At the 2022 Euros she blossomed in the captaincy role, leading from the back on the pitch and leading from the front off it, delivering impassioned speeches on the development of the game and its growth potential in press conferences and mixed zones. She is the most natural of unnatural leaders, seen barking orders in huddles and firing the team up in stark contrast with her more introverted persona off the pitch. That is a learned trait, balanced with the example set by the Arsenal captain, Kim Little, who leads with her feet more than her voice. 'Leah's great,' said Ella Toone during this summer's tournament. 'She rallies the team, gets everyone going, keeps everyone together, and leads by example in the way she plays. You want your captain to really step up in games and she definitely does that. She takes us all with her as well.' She plays and leads with an emotional intelligence, often seen deep in conversation with Sarina Wiegman whenever there is a pause in play, the mind constantly analysing, learning, recalculating. After Kelly's penalty confirmed England's title retention on Sunday, Williamson stepped quickly away from the initial celebrations to work her way around the distraught Spain players – leadership involves sacrifice. The party continues, an open-top bus parade down the Mall and celebration outside Buckingham Palace giving them the full hero treatment. And the work continues, with the government announcing it is aiming to double the pitch slots available to women and girls at grassroots level after the Lionesses headed straight to Downing Street when they landed back home on Monday. After that, it is time for Williamson to shake off the burden of responsibility, breathe, just soak it all in and get ready to go again. 'You've won everything at Arsenal, how does that motivate you to do more?' I asked her after the Champions League win. 'I haven't won everything,' she said quickly. 'I've got a World Cup to win.'
