Will you help me (clueless) about these wedding dresses and which colour?

I'm getting married (again) to DH next Christmas...we had a tiny (which we now regret) wedding in London and want to have another on in his home country of Australia....mainly for the joy of it and so that his friends and family (lots of them) can enjoy it. His Mum won't get a chance to be part of a bigger wedding again...her other child is decidedly not the marrying type.

We're thinking of having it in his Dad;s huge garden...I like vintage style and have been pointd in this direction by another Mnr.

I like this style of dress in the link...I'm currently a size 12 but want to be a 10 by then...I'm 38 but told I look younger...do you think I should go for the full skirted type or the slinky version at the bottom of the page?

I like the full ones but am I too old? I am also cofused about colour....this will be Oz in high summer...so light colours...but I am pale with dark hair...what about coral? Help! Oh...I have a small bust and a small waist...pear shaped...I will need them to custom make my dress I think. Advice greatly appreciated...I want to look a bit wow (but appropriate) as I wore a rather boring frock last time and it was a registery office.

Oh that navy lace is gorgeous, but methinks you need boobs for it.

True Merry I have been to two weddings over there and they were SO informal I was a bit freaked out....I could probably wear a raincoat and they'd all say "Cool!" Grin they don't judge like people do over here.

I stock a limited range of Dolly Couture dresses (the Black Label collection) and they are very nice quality. I am itching to get the Avila Bay in navy for myself - it's on my shopping list for this year...
