To consider this wedding dress

...for a relaxed country wedding? I somehow fell in love with this dress. It is completely different to what I initially wanted. We are older, already have kids, so I wanted our wedding to be a small family affair and was planning on a very plain and understated dress (which is very me, I like to blend in the background). But I just love this one and can't stop thinking about it. I have tried it on and it looked amazing. Would it clash with our setting do you think? (A rustic farm in the middle of nowhere)

The bust panels/cleavage on both dresses are tacky and tasteless

joystir come on now, don't go back to being a prim little grinch. You managed to turn it around on the last thread where our paths crossed. Deep breath, kind thoughts.

I so would love to see a photo of your dream dress Grin

There's nothing tacky about either dress. You don't have to like them, but your reasons are ridiculous.

justjuggling · 01/01/2020 20:59

Both are pretty but I’d go for the first one you posted!

MyMajesty · 01/01/2020 21:27

joystir59 I'm not a fan of cleavage showing, either, but you and I are not the one who will wear the dress.

Both dresses are lovely.
Let us know what you choose, OP.

Go on, get your boobs out you floozy Grin

In all seriousness though that first dress is incredible, go for it! If it makes your heart sing, it’s the one! It’s beautiful, works perfectly with a country wedding.

My mum bought two dresses and finally wore the third one she found in TKMaxx of all places, it was stunning, I cried when she tried it on for me! And with the other two my friend and I re-enacted that friends episode a few times while on maternity leave Grin

You keep thinking about the first dress, so I'd go for that one. It's very beautiful.

Ludoole · 01/01/2020 21:44

Both lovely but the 1st one is beautiful (just my opinion).
Choose the one that YOU love most. I'm sure you will look beautiful.

FL59 · 01/01/2020 21:49

Thank you, so lovely to see that so many of you find it as lovely as I do, thanks for taking the time to respond!

I think it's helped me realise that this is the one I love so I will probably mention it to my family tomorrow and unless they truly hate it, I will go for it.

I had never thought of the first one as showing too much cleavage though, and now it's all I can think about haha, just one more worry!

The first one is lovely. Just lovely. Go for it.

Thehop · 01/01/2020 21:56

The first picture you posted is stunning

dontgobaconmyheart · 01/01/2020 21:58

If money isn't a consideration it hardly matters surely? (In the nicest possible eay) Both are pretty (and quite similar) though I prefer the first one as it looks a bit softee. Wedding dresses do generally look fairly samey IMO though, I don't think anyone would find it out of place at a wedding as it will be ballpark what is expected so I'd pick what makes you happiest OP as nobody on here can say what suits you better really without photos of it on!

MadisonAvenue · 01/01/2020 22:03

The first one is so beautiful, and it's your wedding so do what you want to do, don't worry about whether your family will like it or not.

And it's really not showing too much cleavage so stop worrying about that too Wink

TruJay · 01/01/2020 22:11

It really isn’t showing too much cleavage honestly don’t let that be another worry!

OrangeTwirl · 01/01/2020 22:17

I love the first one. It's simple but tasteful and beautiful 💗 Send us a pic of you wearing it on your big day OP

Redland12 · 01/01/2020 22:22

Love the first one, it’s gorgeous. Congratulations 🌺

AliTheMinx · 01/01/2020 22:25

First dress = perfect! Huge congratulations and enjoy your day x

Scout2016 · 01/01/2020 22:27

Sorry, pressed YABU by mistake. First one is lovely and would be perfect.

MrsGolightyly · 01/01/2020 22:29

It’s gorgeous, please wear it.

Cuddling57 · 01/01/2020 23:11

Both dresses are lovely but the first dress is my fave.
Does the first dress have a name--
I need to find a wedding dress-- Grin

SusieQ5604 · 01/01/2020 23:31

It's gorgeous and will totally go with a rustic venue!!!!

SusieQ5604 · 01/01/2020 23:33

You need to make YOU happy, not your family! First dress would be my choice.

TARSCOUT · 01/01/2020 23:47

The new one is much better for your wedding plans, the other is gorgeous too but more formal. Congratulations and enjoy your day.
