Has anyone got it IRL?
It looks sort of cream on photos?

It just a registry office wedding.

But i would want a yellow, yellow dress.

A beautiful dress. Looks yellow. I’ve got a few dresses from Nobody’s Child and they’re lovely x

I went to a wedding last year and the bride wore a similar dress. It was simply stunning.

It doesn't scream wedding dress.

I don't want it to. I'm getting there by public transport and going for a 'normal' meal afterwards. I don't want to look super bridal.

Just buy a really large size to do your F cups and get the rest of the dress tailored. It’s such a bargain at £72 for a wedding dress 🥰

For flowers make sure they are at least as cream coloured as the dress or another colour if you prefer. A brighter white against the dress will make it look darker.

I think it’s lovely and would look great with orange flowers

Could anyone advise on what flowers would go nicely with it? I just want to make up a small bouquet for photos.

How about dried flowers?

It's beautiful and the colour looks like a soft pale yellow.

For flowers I'd choose flowers that look cute from a country garden, eg peonies in mixed colours - pinks, coral, lilac, add a few smaller flowers like freesias or mini carnations, with some pale green greenery.

Gorgeous dress, colour looks fine to me (but I got married in a dark red/burgundy dress so what would I know 😂).

Flower-wise I think anything you like would work, but I’d avoid white as they’ll make the dress look yellower.

CurlewKate · 28/06/2025 06:24

Blue flowers come to mind. Cornflowers would be lovely…

Elfonte · 28/06/2025 06:32

Found it on vinted and it looks a lot more yellow :(

You can get married in whatever you want.

sesquipedalian · 28/06/2025 07:09

Op, I think it’s a lovely dress - and as for flowers, go white and yellow - something like bud rises and freesias.

sweetpickle2 · 28/06/2025 07:47

They’re all lovely, but I’d go for the Ghost dress that was posted upthread.

BusWankers · 28/06/2025 07:48

Get married in jeans and a hoodie if you want.

There's no law!

Strawberrypanca · 28/06/2025 07:54

The cream Ghost dress is a lovely version. Have a wonderful day xx

My sister has this dress and wore it to an event last week.

It is a beautiful soft warm neutral cream colour. She looked absolutely beautiful in it and it would make a lovely wedding dress.

She has larger boobs and it fitted beautifully.

If that’s a concern you could always get something you really love and then sell it straight after? If it’s current season it will sell quickly and you’ll get a decent amount of the cost back.

SunshineDeLaSoul · 28/06/2025 08:18

I love it

PotofPens1 · 28/06/2025 08:28

It's a pretty dress. It's pale yellow, which I don't think is a bad thing. To me it's traditional with a minor twist. Yellow flowers would tone down the yellowness of the dress, whereas white or blue would probably make it look yellower.

Hi OP, I was the one who had the ghost dress last year. When I got it it was in the sale for £79 so keep an eye out for reductions! Or the older version I had with longer sleeves on Vinted.
