Have NC

I'm having doubts about my dress, mainly because I've been to 3 weddings recently where the bride has spent hundreds on their dress and I've spent less than £120 and only now have I realised you can probably tell.

The dress fits lovely and I'm getting nice shoes but I can't help shake the feeling people will think it looks cheap because it is cheap

If it helps I'm 5'10 and a slim size 12

Here is the link

Feeling stressed this evening worrying about it - wish wed disappeared somewhere and got married on our own so I didn't have 100 odd people looking at me

You'll be a gorgeous bride - very, very good dress.

NoBloodyMore · 28/06/2015 21:33

Its a lovely dress, I've got the bhs bella dress for my wedding, I love it and have tried on loads before finding it.

ThisIsClemFandango · 28/06/2015 21:40

I think you have a resounding approval OP.
The dress you've bought is the type of dress I would choose if I ever get married.
You've got a bargain and it's beautiful. Relax and have a lovely wedding! Flowers

Really touched by the amount of responses from you all

Today has been a great day shopping for the accessories. I've found a beautiful bracelet (£7 looks £50) and my Jimmy Choos!!!! they are none of the links I previously put on. My bridesmaid cried when she saw me in the dress and the shoes. They kind of peek out like a Cinderella shoe Grin

The dress looks good on now I've got the right shoes so £100 for dress and £375 for shoes but now feel much better about it all thanks to MN. Honestly it's lovely that so many have replied - I was far more upset and stressed than I let on last night but didn't want to come across as a bridezilla Grin

Will post pic from the day in a few week!

That's very pretty, you will look lovely in it- congrats and have a great day!

Mehitabel6 · 29/06/2015 07:08

Have a lovely day! Don't forget the picture! Flowers

ephemeralfairy · 29/06/2015 12:09

OP those shoes are AMAZING!!! I gasped when I saw them Smile The dress is simple and elegant but the shoes will take it to another level.

Shoes are my thing so if I ever get married I will do like you: chic simple dress, knockout shoes.

Have a lovely day!!

DonkeyOaty · 29/06/2015 12:19

I think you've been super-clever, the shoes you will be able to wear over and over.

Well done! Have an awesome wedding and YES PLEASE to pictures afterwards.

TheTravellingLemon · 29/06/2015 12:25

I really love that dress. Beautifully elegant and it will look amazing with those shoes. Gorgeous! Congratulations

BrideNotSoZilla · 25/08/2015 22:11

As promised, picture from our day as I'm about to walk down the aisle.

The shoes, hair, make up and flowers all made the dress feel like it was worth thousands.

Thanks again for all the words of encouragement. It really meant lots to me at the time Smile

Wow you looked stunning and very happy SmileFlowers

StillFrankie · 25/08/2015 22:42

oooh that's gorgeous! Normally I would think it too plain but no, its lovely! I do think, however, you should maximise it by wearing your hair up, some nice earrings, nice tiara/comb (not a veil) and your bouquet shouldn't be one of those long ones, I don't think that would go with it tbh.

Are you tall and slim? If you have a bit of a tummy, it might not work...

Hard to be sure without seeing you

But the dress, I really like :)

StillFrankie · 25/08/2015 22:42

oh sorry, I only saw the OP Blush

You are stunning, the dress really suits you :)

burnishedsilver · 25/08/2015 22:54

Fabulous. Congratulations!

ninniepie · 25/08/2015 22:57

How lovely! You look so happy and the dress looks beautiful. Congratulations Flowers

prettywhiteguitar · 25/08/2015 23:00

You look great !

You're making me feel less nervous now for mine. We get married in less than 4 weeks, my dress cost £225 from phase eight outlet, I love it but was having a wobble about how I will look. I think it's just the nerves talking.

Thank you for updating with your gorgeous pic !

Epilepsyhelp · 25/08/2015 23:04

Gorgeous, I'm having a wobble about my £1400 dress, wish I'd gone high street now!!!

mandy214 · 25/08/2015 23:07

You look gorgeous. Your father looks like he's the proudest man in the world!

Seriouslyffs · 25/08/2015 23:25

Absolutely stunning! You look so happy (sniff)
I love the sunflower bouquet and buttonhole too.

MarvinKMooney · 25/08/2015 23:35

Wow! Gorgeous! Your dad looks so proud. Smile

DragonsCanHop · 25/08/2015 23:44

Clicked to say your dress is stunning, very similar to mine.

We didn't have the £550 to spend on my fav dress so "settled" for a £80 one, had a fab day and 13 years later... Smile

acatcalledjohn · 25/08/2015 23:56

Congrats OP! You look stunning and so very happy!

Secondtimeround75 · 26/08/2015 00:14

Mulligrubs · 26/08/2015 00:19

JaceLancs · 26/08/2015 00:24
