Am I too old for a wedding dress at 55?

[Latinmeadow25]

Please help, I am getting married at local registry office for the first time. Am I being silly in wanting to wear long ivory wedding dress orvam I too old?

No you aren’t. It’s your wedding and you should wear whatever makes you happy. Congratulations!

Why ever not? Wear what suits you best and what makes you happy. I've been to a wedding where the bride was 50 and she looked great in a very traditional wedding dress.

It's your (and the groom's) day- wear what makes you happy.

Not at all too old!!! Go for it and have a great day!

Go for it! Congratulations, have a fabulous day!

Congratulations.
Nope, go for it, it's your day op.

Wear whatever you want. You are absolutely not too old.

Thank you ladies, my dear mother told me I would be “mutton dressed as lamb” and to “grow up” that I wasn’t a teenager. Had a real wobble

That's just the sort of thing my mum would say OP - ignore her and be happy

Hope your day is wonderful. I can almost guarantee that your mum will shed a sneaky tear on the day too .

Your mum is mean. You'll look lovely, can we see your dress?

My mum is getting married for the second time next year, she will be 69 and is wearing a lovely lace wedding dress - so no your not too old!

My Nanna got remarried when she was in her late 50's and had a beautiful white wedding dress - she'd not had "the dress" before so fulfilled her dream! Go for it you will look stunning and as others have said it's your day. Congratulations and enjoy xx

Ignore your mum. You're the bride, you should wear whatever makes you feel good.

Do whatever you bloody like! It's your day, enjoy every second

Of course you’re not too old for a wedding dress! There are some beautiful dresses out there. Get yourself to a wedding dress shop and they’ll help you pick something out.

It’s your wedding day, you’re the bride, embrace it!

Don’t be daft every bride deserves the dress she wants. I feel like getting kind out just to stroke it as it’s beautiful and now just stuck in a wardrobe :(

Ladies thank you so much, the white floaty dress is staying and I am just going to enjoy myself.

Good for you Latin. It is a special day and you want to look and feel wonderful. I was a first time mature bride who had a small scale modest wedding. I still wanted to feel like a bride on the day. I wore a champagne bridesmaid dress. Still weddingy without being OTT. I still like looking at the photos 15 years later. Wear your floaty dress if i makes you feel happy. I hope you have a fabulous day.

It's your day, wear exactly what you want to. You only have one life
