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). :( :(

Beautiful Mamadramallama! I was the headband pusher, so slightly biased, but you crushed that look Smile

In fact, what colour shoes would go with both a deep shimmery gold dress and silver? confused "Nude" shades are not nude for my skin tone...

DD and I were talking about this, and reckoned a soft pearl would work with both colours.

OP you look absolutely knockout in that AP dress.

Late to the thread but the Ghost dress on the right is utterly divine

UPDATE

Hi everyone - I will be sticking with the gold AP dress for the evening and for the day now thinking of a ghost dress in their pale 'dusty green' shade Linked here. Any suggestions for colours for shoes? flowers for bridal bouquet?

Lovely!! You'll look fab.

Flowers - what do you like- classic or colourful? To be fair with a green dress there's not much in flowers that won't go.

For shoes, I'd go with something like these:
www.rainbowclub.co.uk/coco-ivory-snow-glitter-court-shoe
or
www.rainbowclub.co.uk/erika-silver-fine-shimmer-court-shoe
or
www.rainbowclub.co.uk/lexi-ivory-wedding-court-shoe
or
www.rainbowclub.co.uk/rita-ivory-satin-ivory-fine-shimmer-court-shoe
or
www.rainbowclub.co.uk/freya-slingback-wedding-shoes

With Rainbow Club you can get your shoes to match your dress (if you have time and you wanted that)

LookItsMeAgain · 03/06/2021 10:35

For flowers, I'd go for a simple bouquet something like these:

The ones in the first image held by the bridesmaids not the bride though the only difference is the number of flowers/stems in the bouquets.

LookItsMeAgain · 03/06/2021 10:37

Alternatively for the bouquet - something like the ones suggested here would be lovely:

Thank you everyone.

How do I find more like these Pearly shoes ?

Flowers - I'm not sure, something fun and summery yet elegant..

OP just something to bear in mind when choosing your shoes, be careful of anything raised such as diamanté’s etc., which your dress could catch on.

My niece had sparkly shoes, but no decorative elements on when she had her prom a few year’s back.

MrsRockAndRoll · 03/06/2021 22:29

Peonies?

Cowbells · 04/06/2021 16:56

Love that Ghost dress.

How about a bouquet of white canna lilies with lily of the vally or white jasmine for scent - think they would go so well with that dress. Or peonies.

One of myd aughters got married in April (13 guests, in church, no meal). It was lovely. Anyway it was postponed from March due to the wedding ban. The dress came 2 days before hand (from China - the website originally implied from the UK hence why she picked it). So she ordered 2 from Zara in case she had nothing but was able to send those back so all was well. The Chinese one was best.

if you don't like it get another one.

Doidontimmm · 30/06/2021 07:26

OP can we see you on the big day?

NotMeekNotObedient · 30/06/2021 09:10

Oxfam bridal outlets are fab for those short on time. There will be hundreds of dresses all within your price range. There will be a variety of colours as they also sell MOB & Bridesmaids / prom dresses.

There are some pretty dresses at Monsoon all under £200
