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). :( :(

Ghost’s Claudia dress in grey is beautiful

Seconding (thirding?!) Needle and Thread. Bought mine for ~£250 last year and loved it. Maybe pop the one you don’t want on stillwhite.com?

ASOS also have lovely options. Good luck!

This is 50% off with code 'Love' and they have a whole range of coloured sashes you could team with, or just add bright shoes!

I second Self Portrait. I bought a dress from there for attending a wedding and it was really lovely. Beautifully cut and lined.

They have a huge selection but as an example this one is bridal but cream not white www.self-portrait-studio.com/ivory-taffeta-dot-mesh-midi-dress

Ok so have you tried the dress you bought with hair and make up done. Accessories even some flowers? Any dress looks bridal when you dress it up right.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/05/2021 17:42

This is on sale in a champagne colour

[quote Bluntness100]I think this is nicer and perfect for a bride, although it’s labelled as a bridesmaids dress, and in the same price range.

So pretty!!

Special enough to be bridal as well!!!

Don't worry @xela21 we will find you one.

Agree-don't buy one from Amazon or any retailer you have never heard of. Always google for the reviews!!!!

BinocularVision · 19/05/2021 17:47

I got married in something very like this, which I love. Needle and Thread again. They have lots of gorgeous non-white dresses -- look at this one with the ruffles.

Don't order anything else online. Go into an actual shop. Check the quality, fabric, cut and fit. Maybe John Lewis, Selfridges, Reiss?

@xela21

Thank you so much everyone for taking time out to help me find a dress! Really appreciate it.

Having a very small wedding with just 12 people (covid) so didn't want to go to crazy with a big wedding dress. I think ideally would like a midi length dress in a warm pale blush/gold colour - any ideas?

this fits the bill- do you like it @xela21 www.coastfashion.com/embroidered-long-sleeve-maxi-dress/ACC99223-107-22.html?istCompanyId=ea18716d-5d4c-45d1-97b5-44f5ccef03c7&istFeedId=804fbb78-ffa6-4f49-ab7a-570411b233ee&istItemId=ipptxiqtl&istBid=t&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7pKFBhDUARIsAFUoMDZE8ZL62FdTopx5oglWf3n_L0lRf6G0pHJoPEOptyqw2ZQsdLUBegAaAp-5EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

This La Redoute one could be very nice, but really depends on figure:

This one is more straightforward, but only if your happy with short length:
