To struggle to find casual wedding dress. HELP!

Very intimate micro wedding planned in the coming months.

Ordered 2 dresses both looked horrendous on me.

Just a registry office job. I'm size 10. Want something stylish and flattering but don't want to spend a fortune.

Can anyone share their casual wedding dresses and where they got them from?!

Going to try ghost or coast next. I need to order online as time poor due to having 2 kids at home. But realise online shopping is not the best. Have booked a bridal shop appointment but feel like they will be a bit too ott and won't fit the bill.

If anyone has good recommendations PLEASE SHARE. Thank you from one lost bride to be.

How about this:

Pretty, but fairly casual perhaps?

My wedding dress was originally from Monsoon but I got it from eBay (new with tags!) at a great price. Definitely check out eBay for bargains.

Phase 8 have some really nice ones.

Lovely ones on here not too pricy, mine is chi chi London Flora dress which I can't find on there now but it's knee length and a bit more casual than some of these.

Monsoon have some lovely dresses! They also have a really good website too.Im already married but if I was getting married again would love one!

If you wanted something not too 'bridal' what about something like this? Smile

Reformation! Love their dresses, a tiny bit pricey though.

Wallis (if they still exist) sometimes had nice dresses suitable for weddings - it has been a few years since I was there. Next online stock many brands now some might be worth a look.

Sallyingon · 07/06/2022 19:04

I was thinking Nancy Mac too. Ive loved this one for a long time www.nancymac.co.uk/products/embroidered-suki-dress-in-ivory-crepe-1

flowerexpress · 07/06/2022 19:07

Asos perhaps - could order a few and send back whichever you don't like :)

jimboandthejetset · 07/06/2022 19:21

Have a look at Wolf & Badger. Clothing by lots of small designers. I often see stunning dresses on their website that would be perfect as a cool funky wedding dress. I am partial to Ghost as well, though.

HearMeSnore · 07/06/2022 19:22

An ex-colleague of mine got married in a home-made crochet lace sun dress and looked fantastic. I'm not suggesting you start crocheting - but the dress was similar to this (just a bit longer and it had a few ruffles)...

Reiss have a white dress in at the moment - I tried it on for a party and loved it but have been wondering if it is too bridal for a party.
