Got my bridesmaids' dresses from Pronuptia - they were a lovely shade of peach, with ruffles and bows!

SirChenjin · 12/04/2015 15:13

Whatever happened to Pronuptia?!

derxa · 12/04/2015 15:47

I got my dress from Pronuptia, dear readers. The shop was in Glasgow city centre

I think the venue of Dunblane is a lovely gesture to the town. Also, it's beautiful place.

I got married in Dunblane Cathedral, it is not just common for people to wait outside to see the bride, they come in and sit in the pews, various parents of friends, friends of MIL and old women who knew my mum from church joined us for the ceremony, I sometimes think of it and smile when I read a Mumsnet Bridezilla thread.

It is a beautiful and very special building with gorgeous stained glass and carved screens, I don't blame them for choosing it ( and I got married on April 13 th and it snowed!).

How lovely, wigglybeezer. A real community.

Passed the hotel earlier bloody photographers hanging about tut they gave us a public wedding loads of opportunities but they have to stalk them at their reception venue Hmm

Mrsjayy · 12/04/2015 17:00

They went into liquidation sirchenjin

SirChenjin · 12/04/2015 17:03

Did they run out of old sheep to make the dress sleeves with?

Judy Murray has a fabulous figure, money to buy whatever outfit she likes and I admire her a lot. I also think she looks fabulous in her outfit so elegant and stylish.
However as a woman the same age I would not have choosen a pale colour coat so close in colour to the brides dress when there is every othercolour under the rainbow to choose from.

Why not? Its just one of those things that has been drummed into me that white/ivory/cream are the brides colours.
In the same vein if I go to a funeral I would wear black/navy and not bright blue or fuschia pink.
Not sure whether I am wrong or right but I am really surprised at the amount of people on mumsnet who thing its ok, I assumed about 80% of people would agree with the op.

I thought Judy looked amazing.

Wasn't too sold on Kim's dress but her dazzling smile and glowing happiness were just so gorgeous. In fact, both Andy and Kim looked so deeply happy.

Beautiful, natural couple.

MTWTFSS · 12/04/2015 17:14

Did she look bridal? No

Is it wrong to wear white to a wedding no matter what the garment is? YES!!!

Sparklingbrook · 12/04/2015 17:15

I still don't get why it's wrong. Confused

DramaAlpaca · 12/04/2015 17:28

Nor do I, Sparkling Confused

I think some people think there are 'laws' about weddings. Presumably the bride must wear white, according to them.
Other people aren't really arsed about what their guests wear. I know I wasn't.

Some.people clearly have somewhat empty lives and inventing "rules" for a variety of social.situations allows them to.claim some sort of moral.superiority and allows them to catsbumface for.a hobby.
Most people have a life to lead.

fatlazymummy · 12/04/2015 17:44

I've just dug out my wedding photo (from 1987). My MIL is wearing a white dress. The horror! A couple of other guests have white jackets on. I am wearing cream.
This is honestly the first time I've ever thought about this.

Sparklingbrook · 12/04/2015 17:46

OMG fatlazy that is bad. Sad were you framed though?

OOAOML · 12/04/2015 17:49

I got married in the village church where I grew up and quite a few locals turned up to see us arrive and then popped in to sit in the church. We also had local kids waiting outside after.

OOAOML · 12/04/2015 17:51

My MIL wore a very pale lemon yellow, should I be offended? It really doesn't tone with the purple that my mum wore.

fatlazymummy · 12/04/2015 17:52

sparkling no, I don't think I was framed Grin.

Sparklingbrook · 12/04/2015 18:04

fatlazy Sad Upstaged by people wearing white and no framing.

OO pale lemon is virtually white-she was definitely trying to steal your thunder there.

SirChenjin · 12/04/2015 18:06

I don't get why anyone would be so bothered by the colour of a dress worn by a complete stranger to a wedding that they would start a thread about it - why would that be the first thing to go through your mind, as opposed to 'they look so happy, such a lovely and loving time for them all'.

Christinayangstwistedsister · 12/04/2015 18:14

Sir

I know, particularly bearing in mind the location of the wedding
