To wear my wedding dress to dinner?

It's my wedding day tomorrow Smile and I'm just having a fairly low key day with an afternoon tea and drinks at the venue afterwards. My husband (!) and I will then be going out for dinner on our own and I'd like to wear my wedding dress.

It's a mid calf 50s type dress so not massive but obviously bridal. Would this be a terrible plan?

My mother thinks I'm being pathetic and will look ridiculous and can't possibly do it. I'd just rather keep it on as it's my wedding day and I don't see what harm it does.

In case it makes a difference it's a small fine dining restaurant so not many people there and we're eating quite late.

Congratulations! Love the dress! I hope you wore it out to dinner and enjoyed yourself greatly. Definitely not too much to wear it to a nice restaurant. Wishing you lots for happiness now and in the future. x

Oh you both look fabulous and really happy. Kind of liking the Starsky and Hutch style photographic angle too. Hope you had a great day and evening.

You look stunning, gorgeous dress! Congratulations !

You both look gorgeous, and the dress is as they say in France magnifique. Hope you had a lovely day and a lovely meal last night. If I had seen you in the restaurant it would certainly have put a smile on my face. Bet you got lots of good wishes in there and if not a bottle then at least a glass or two. Here's to a long and happy life together. Wine Wine 💕

On holiday once, we arrived to find a wedding going on. For the week after that, I must have seen the bride and groom at least 3 times out in the evening round the local town in her wedding dress! I thought it was fab!!! (& they barely paid for a drink all nights!)
Hope all goes well tomorrow and wear your dress wherever and for how every long you fancy!!

Gorgeous!

Congratulations. I hope you have many, many happy years together.

Oldraver · 16/10/2016 22:27

You both look gorgeous...I think I much prefer a man in a suit that the fashion for tails.

I would be wearing that dress at every opportunity.

I hope Mum managed to keep her horrible thoughts to herself

Lovely dress, beautiful picture. Congratulations. I went to the pub after the evening reception in my very similar dress just under a year ago. Happy memories.

Lynnm63 · 16/10/2016 22:29
