soccerwidow · 27/01/2011 18:45

Do you have any pregnant bridesmaids? because this would be perfect...

Honeybee79 · 27/01/2011 18:48

Love it, ShortandCurly, love it. Wear what you want.

kensworth · 27/01/2011 18:59

wow you go girl husband asked if you were being sponsored by mint aero???? but hey its your day have fun x

JanetPlanet · 27/01/2011 19:18

Surely this is a piss take? 'My DH will pop some balloons but leave the ones around my boobies and fufu'. If it's not a piss take then you really need a thicker skin and a sense of humour to carry this dress off.

InPraiseOfBacchus · 27/01/2011 19:19

If it really is the one you've got on your profile page, and this isn't a joke, then... WOW! I love it! Don't take what anyone says to heart... but really, you must have known this kind of choice would be seen as 'alternative'. I got married in 9" platforms and latex. Go you! x

Flisspaps · 27/01/2011 19:25

It's OK.

I had something a bit more understated, and it came in oh-so-handy afterwards when we had to clean up following the reception.

5Foot5 · 27/01/2011 20:42

And there was me laughing at the dresses on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.

harassedinherpants · 27/01/2011 20:50

Fab dress, and I've found you matching favours . I think they're really cute!

justcarrots29 · 27/01/2011 21:18

Oh here we go again

porcamiseria · 27/01/2011 21:49

a dress of peas! wow......a peas take surely?

fireblademum · 27/01/2011 21:53

it is utterly bonkers
i love it, assuming you have personality in spades to carry it off.
go for it

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 27/01/2011 22:00

Well, you can always save it and go to a fancy dress party as 100% inflation...

A1980 · 27/01/2011 23:10

How are you gonig to walk in that dress?

Fontsnob · 28/01/2011 01:06

I can't believe that no one has considered the awful wilting that balloons tend towards after having been inflated for a while. Wilting can simply ruin a girls wedding night day dontcha know.

TimeForACHEEKYWine · 28/01/2011 01:10

i agree ban cocktail sticks and lighters

Fabulous dress - wish i had the guts to wear something like that

YeahBut · 28/01/2011 01:37

Well, I hope it's a child free wedding or you'll be surrounded by the little feckers all night thinking you're a free balloon stand a la Maccas.
