I HATE my wedding dress

I'm getting married next month, my dress has arrived and I hate it. I need to find a new one and fast. Please help?

I have toyed with the idea of non-white dresses, at this rate I'm open to anything. Ideally wanted a midi length pale dress that doesn't look like a bridesmaid dress (The one I have bought is blush and floaty and bridesmaidy). :( :(

The first one, beautiful 🤩

JesusIsAnyNameFree · 21/05/2021 15:16

Grey ghost, definitely.

xela21 · 21/05/2021 15:17

@Motherof3dogs as in the AP dress? or the first Ghost?

So Ghost Silver, Ghost Champagne or AP (would be cool if we could do a poll!)

The second is lovely too, just needs accessories

JesusIsAnyNameFree · 21/05/2021 15:18

Is the ghost reversible by the way? There was talk about something like that upthread.

Motherof3dogs · 21/05/2021 15:18

The silver ghost is my favourite but the 2nd ghost dress is a lovely colour

Motherof3dogs · 21/05/2021 15:20

Will you have your hair up?

ForeveronEtsy · 21/05/2021 15:20

The Ghost dresses are very flattering to your great figure! I vote silver ghost

4PawsGood · 21/05/2021 15:22

I vote AP.
Which do you feel best in?

ForeveronEtsy · 21/05/2021 15:22

Saying that have just seen what the back of champagne dress is like and that’s gorgeous!With hair accessories and flowers that would look stunning.
Ghost chalpagne!

AnneKipanki · 21/05/2021 15:23

My favourite is the AP .

ForeveronEtsy · 21/05/2021 15:23

champagne

kirinm · 21/05/2021 15:23

Ghost champagne looks stunning!

Motherof3dogs · 21/05/2021 15:23

I had these in my updo. They would look nice with your dresses

I think you look great in all three, & I like all 3. However, think the Ghost dress in the pink suits your skin tone the best, & is special enough to be a wedding dress, so would go for that. Think the first dress you posted today the champagne AP is more “evening gown”.

I love the ghost champagne one on you.

CaraherEIL · 21/05/2021 15:26

Of the ghost dresses I think the pink ghost dress is the best shape and makes your figure look the best. I do love how the AP dress seems to be sculpted to your shape and you would have no concerns about any clinging on the day.
I think a very thin real silk tulle veil with fresh flowers would look beautiful with the AP and the pink ghost. I think if you do the silver I would do a birdcage veil. Or you could do the pink ghost with a bird cage veil with a pink feather bolero could look very 1920s.
You could do gold in the day with gold veil and fresh flowers and then blush ghost in the evening with a 20s style headband and feather bolero!!

The champagne dress is gorgeous, very elegant, and personally I think it looks the most wedding dressy. They are all beautiful though so I would wear the one that makes your heart sing the loudest!

Fairnair · 21/05/2021 15:28

To clarify think you should go for the 2nd Ghost dress.

CaraherEIL · 21/05/2021 15:28

The silver ghost does look the most bridesmaidy whereas the champagne ghost looks ethereal bride. The fit is much better on the champagne ghost.

CaraherEIL · 21/05/2021 15:30

My ultimate total fave is the ghost champagne.

minipie · 21/05/2021 15:30

Oyster / champagne ghost gets my vote
AP second
Silver third

All lovely though

Motherof3dogs · 21/05/2021 15:31

Can we come and watch you get married Grin

Poppins2016 · 21/05/2021 15:34

Ghost champagne is gorgeous!

Motherof3dogs · 21/05/2021 15:34

Having now seen the back I vote for champagne ghost too
