Getting married in jeans.

Getting married in Oz next year in their Spring which will be November or Oct.

I want to wear jeans. I'm 42...the wedding will be in Mils lovely garden...very casual affair, BBQ and about 50 guests.

I just don't want to wear a dress...I never wear dresses and as an actress I've been in plenty of big, dramatic gowns over the years...I've looked and looked and just can't see one I like...I hate 50s style tea dresses and won't feel at all comfy in anything that is age appropriate or suited to a garden wedding.

Oz is very casual anyway...I thought (I've got a good figure) that I could get some really gorgeous jeans and shoes and a lovely lacy white top and have my hair and makeup done...flower or nice hair thing in...and that's that.

Is it ok and can anyone advise or offer ideas. I look best in high necklines...I've a small bust...size 10...I like white lacy tops...something that shows off waist...arms are fine.

we got married in Oz, me in a sarong and tshirt, dh in shorts and shirt - because that's all we had with us at the time

wear what you feel best in, nothing worse than feeling like a trussed up chicken! it's your day, have a wonderful time. sounds like your guests will be there to celebrate with you not have a fashion competition

Do it, sounds fab.
Get just married or your initials embroidered on the back pockets.
Or a denim shirt and long tulle skirt.

Just wanted to say this sounds like a fabulous idea and I can really see it working. Good luck finding the right items. Katy

It's your wedding. Wear whatever you want. :) I would have worn jeans and matching button down white shirt but my husband wanted to wear a suit (bummer!).

I planned to wear jeans and then chickened out of it close to the date and endured a massive panic to find something else. Do your wedding whatever way suits you and then you regret nothing. Good luck!
