I don't know where to start! I am size 12-14, 5ft8. I don't want a white dress, I don't want it long... I want it to be a bit 'different', but aside from that I have no idea!

Thanks :]

I enjoyed the Rock My Wedding website for ideas.

I've gone vintage, long and ivory, and had my dress altered by a fantastic dressmaker.

I think you can get away with any pretty dress, that you feel comfortable in, follow these links:

I'm not sure how everyone else feels, but i did not want to spend a months salary on a dress I would only wear for twelve hours. The dress cost with alterations less than £500, which was an amount I felt happy spending. I didnt look at expensive dresses, so was not tempted. I feel very comfortable in my dress, I would not feel happy in a princess dress or very fussy dress.

Good luck.

Wow, thanks for those links, those women look incredible! I feel the same way, I don't want to spend too much.

Grin they are not for everyone but I do too - i've got the black one with white spots and a black petticoat and a floral one and they make me feel a million dollars - give you an amazing figure too!
