Wedding dress help. I don't really like wedding dresses!

[CoffeeAtLukes]

Please can anyone give me ideas of where to look?

I like the things at needle and thread www.needleandthread.com but nothing is quite right. They are definitely in the right direction though.

I like simple clothes, nothing too patterned or fussy. Definitely nothing strapless. I'd like to wear a light colour but it doesn't have to be white. I'm sort of picturing a very pale yellow but that might just be a pipe dream.

budget?

[Lucked]

Well yellow is an unusual colour, there is this for less than £30 but I think getting the style you want in yellow may be tough.

Have you been into an wedding dress shops?. Some area awful if you don't want strapless and traditional but there are plenty of good ones. Plus given that you are open to colour you could consider a bridesmaids dress which would be cheaper.

More yellow

[Lucked]

Not so pale

[ftmsoon]

Lucked that first one is beautiful, OP would look bridal at an amazing price!

[Lucked]

Sorry not sure ASOS links work one is

TFNC Tall WEDDING Prom Midi Dress With Embellished Shoulder

And the other

Maya Vintage Embellished Maxi Dress

[sonlypuppyfat]

Amen to not strapless I'm a church bellringer and every single bride looks like they are sharing the same dress

[Lucked]

Yes but I have now realised that it is out of stock!!

[Lucked]

I am having fun, more yellow out there than I would have guessed!

the outnet

[CoffeeAtLukes]

I haven't even really thought about a budget. Under £500 probably. I don't really want to spend too much.

Yellow is a strange choice I agree! I haven't been into any shops yet. I've just looked in the windows and been totally underwhelmed but yes, I should go in and see.

I like the one in the third link but it's maybe just a bit sparkly. It is a nice shape though.

Another

[Lucked]

More like the needle and thread type dress marchesa which is a bit more like the needle and thread dresses

[CoffeeAtLukes]

The outnet one is gorgeous!

[Lucked]

Just seen your budget this is lovely but I would change the belt.

[CoffeeAtLukes]

All the outnet ones are lovely in fact. I do like sleeves on a dress. I'm worried yellow and sleeves might be too much though.

Where are you based? There's a great bridal shop where I live and she often has colour wedding dresses on display, as well as other really funky wedding dresses. It's in south Manchester.

What are your feelings on grey? This one by mint velvet is beautiful. Elegant without being showy, a little embellished but not overkill.

[KentMum2008]

Or this coast yellow one. Shorter length, and quite lacy but still fairly understated I'd say...

[KentMum2008]

This is pretty, short again.

Or any of these Maids to Measure, all pale colours but no yellow...

[KentMum2008]

Sorry, I'm done now!

Let us know if you find something OP

[CoffeeAtLukes]

I'm in Scotland.

I'm not adverse to grey. I wear it a lot in fact! Grey would look nice with the colours in dp's kilt actually.

What do people think of this m.asos.com/us/asos/asos-salon-ombre-ruched-maxi-dress/prd/6361181?iid=6361181 I sort of love it but I have looked at about 5000 pictures of dresses today so have started to go a bit crazy I think.

[KentMum2008]

I think that's beautiful! Definitely not a traditional wedding dress. How big are your boobs? Sounds like an odd question, but looking at that dress there's very little in the way of room for big babylons 😂

[PaperdollCartoon]

I love that OP! So unusual but actually still looks quite weddingy. Both those Marchessa ones are stunning as well. I say wear whatever you want, break the mold!

[KentMum2008]

Ahhh my DP is wearing a kilt when we get married. I'm not Scottish but I'm so excited at the prospect of thistles in my bouquet and tartan ribbons in DDs hair.

[CoffeeAtLukes]

My boobs are quite small. I'm breastfeeding dd2 at the moment so they are a bit bigger but I'm sure they'll shrink down again.

I'm also excited about the thistles mango. Not sure how they would go with the green...
