Is it appropriate to wear a very very low cut wedding dress?

A friend has posted photos of a wedding she went to yesterday. When I saw photos of the bride I actually felt quite shocked.

Her wedding dress was so low cut you could actually see part of her nipples. She was bursting out of the dress and it looked about 3 sizes too small.

It was a church wedding and I feel it was really inappropriate to wear such a dress. A non church wedding would not have been so bad although the dress would still have looked tacky

It’s her day, I guess she can wear what she wishes.

flamingofridays · 29/07/2018 16:37

You seem nice op.

Her day. Her choice.

TopShagger · 29/07/2018 16:39

Her wedding, she can wear what ever she likes. I'd hope that in 2018 grown adults aren't terrified of seeing a bit of nipple. Clearly My hopes aren't realized.

Is it appropriate to come on Mumsnet on a Sunday to slate someone's wedding dress?

PositiveVibez · 29/07/2018 16:40

Bit strange to start a thread about a bride who's wedding you didn't attend.

HollowTalk · 29/07/2018 16:40

I remember the days when a priest wouldn't marry you in a dress like that!

Very nice try OP

SilverySurfer · 29/07/2018 16:42

You've obviously never seen Say Yes to the Dress on Quest Red - some of the sights on there would make your eyes pop out of your head.

I agree OP, totally inappropriate, especially for a church wedding.

21stCenturyMrsBennett · 29/07/2018 16:42

Her choice/she can wear what she wants etc responses are expected....but its a church. If you want to have church ceremonies you should have some respect for the way the church works, and that kind of dress is inappropriate.

Crunchymum · 29/07/2018 16:42

Can you show us the dress OP?

ZoeWashburne · 29/07/2018 16:43

So, at a wedding you weren’t invited to, a bride you don’t know, wore a dress you didn’t like enough for you to to take the time to complain about it. Out of curiosity, what’s next on your to do list this weekend?

campion · 29/07/2018 16:44

My DM used to say that her (RC) priest saw more of a woman during the marriage service than he'd probably seen in the rest of his life!

Of course it wasn't appropriate but you won't get much back up for such a view on here.

funnylittlefloozie · 29/07/2018 16:45

My minister always reminded couples when they came for their pre-wedding talk that he would marry ANYONE who wanted to be married in the sight of God...but to please remember when choosing the dress that it was also in the house of God...

It seems a bit weird and uncomfortable to have your boobs falling out all over the place on your wedding day (and I speak as someone who FREQUENTLY has her boobs falling out!).

TerfsUp · 29/07/2018 16:47

Eh. She should have gone the whole hog and had her genitalia hanging out, too.

Poor show, bride. Poor show.

BrieAndChilli · 29/07/2018 16:47

Was it as low cut as this one??!!!!!Shock

BrieAndChilli · 29/07/2018 16:48

Oops

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 29/07/2018 16:50

Not appropriate in church IMO. My wedding dress had sleeves and a sweetheart but not low cut neckline.

I wouldn’t have bare shoulders in church.

YearOfYouRemember · 29/07/2018 16:53

I really don't think anyone should have their breasts out in Church but many brides think it's a sexy look. Again, no need to be sexy in Church. DHs relative had a low cut dress on which surprised me. Didn't look very nice or rather imo she could have looked better.

flutteryleaves · 29/07/2018 16:55

her choice, innit. personally, i would think inappropriate but its not like i'd say anything.

AlessandroVasectomi · 29/07/2018 16:58

Letting the dog see the rabbit in my opinion

Grin alessandro

Showing your nipples in church is a bit much and a bit trashy, but fine, if that's how the bride wants to look in her wedding photos, up on her mum's sideboard forever more, fine!

Roomba · 29/07/2018 17:02

Crikey, I agree that it's her wedding, her choice. But I'm trying to imagine my parent's faces if they saw actual nipple at a church wedding - they'd still be hyperventilating over it ten years later! It would become the "What our Doris wore at her wedding" scandal of the century Grin

Rebecca36 · 29/07/2018 17:02

Each to their own, I understand it is quite usual to wear revealing wedding dresses if you are Greek and in Greece (not an Orthodox wedding I presume).

However I don't think it is necessary or desirable to let it all hang out on your wedding day. Years later you might be embarrassed to look at wedding pics.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/07/2018 17:03

Live and let live. I still regret not trying on a red wedding dress.

I love that photo Brie Posted, and the groom standing there like it's totally normal to have your knockers out. Maybe that was considered covered up for her.
