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.

There are a couple of brands who have some gorgeous pieces at great price points, my favorite is www.thereformation.com/bridal/brides

I got mine on Etsy from this shop but there are loads of options if you search City Hall wedding dress or similar. Rixo has some great ones too.

Lots of gorge dresses in the Emily Attack edition at New Look

I opted for this for our wedding last july. it was made for me by a local dressmaker, i could find any dresses in the bridal shops or online that i wanted to wear.

HearMeSnore · 10/06/2022 18:28

Oh yay! So glad I could help. Hope you have a fabulous day - I bet you'll look amazing 😁💐

SunflowerGardens · 10/06/2022 18:43

Yay! It's beautiful OP, have a wonderful day

Madmaxxy · 10/06/2022 19:05

Why not avoid the 'bridal tax' all together and get a silk slip top and beautiful maxi skirt? This is my dream for when we eventually plan our wedding

Dowhatdowullywup · 10/06/2022 21:28

@Madmaxxy it was only £39. Bargain!!
