I HATE my wedding dress

545 replies

xela21 · 19/05/2021 16:38

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). :( :(

Nancy Mac long dress in blush lace over aqua.

And this one is midi gold lace over lilac.

might be not wedding enough.../ www.gatherandsee.com/collections/dresses/products/bohemia-white also size\shape ...OR..
even if-not this,might be worth check out rest,blurb at side re size to fit--impressive too?..does a veil not identify -bride

What about this from H&M? It's cream so not gleaming white. There's another style dress on there too

Cowbells · 19/05/2021 18:29

This one from Coast is stunning.

I really think you'll find the perfect dress in Amazon. My dress sounds similar to what you are describing you would like and it was from there. I've just had a quick look and there are honestly loads. Good luck!

@Cowbells

This one from Coast is stunning.
Agree-posted it earlier in the thread Wink

Think perfect!!

I'm so annoyed that Needle & Thread wasn't around when my friends were all getting married. I want one so bad!

ThinkingIsAllowed · 19/05/2021 18:34

honestly asos is your friend here

These are from the small but beautifully formed new Kitri collection
kitristudio.com/collections/the-bridal-collection

dopenguinsdance · 19/05/2021 18:40

Or rixo.co.uk/pages/rixo-bridal

Both Rixo & Kitri are small and British labels. They fit beautifully and look good on all shapes.

[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.

Ooooh this is so lovely!

@JackieWeaverFever

Needle and thread are nice (depending on build)

Wed2b have really great wedding dresses and you can buy them off the peg.

Failing that go to browns or liberty or Selfridges (if you can't get to the others) and get a personal shopper they will help you find something amazing....

I had the most wonderful dress from needle & thread and it was only £400.

This was five years ago so their price points may have changed since then but they really are divine for wedding dresses.

Whenwillitmakesense · 19/05/2021 18:46

Me too @mahguy

So want one but have nowhere to wear it

Twinkie01 · 19/05/2021 18:47

Self Portraot or Needle & Thread do amazing dresses

Derbee · 19/05/2021 18:48
