Wedding dress help. I don't really like wedding dresses!

Please can anyone give me ideas of where to look?

I like the things at needle and thread www.needleandthread.com but nothing is quite right. They are definitely in the right direction though.

I like simple clothes, nothing too patterned or fussy. Definitely nothing strapless. I'd like to wear a light colour but it doesn't have to be white. I'm sort of picturing a very pale yellow but that might just be a pipe dream.

Have you looked at Ghost?

Thistles and green will work fine OP. The stems and the outer layers are green.

I love the ASOS one. I wore purple, I love coloured dresses!

I just think white dresses are too formal for me. It's going to be quite a laid back affair.

I'm going to order the asos one to try on. I feel like it's very me. A lot of dresses I look at I like but couldn't imagine actually myself wearing.

God I love loads of the dresses on this site, wish I was planning my wedding.
How about 20s style?

They are all lovely margie. I hadn't seen that website before. I like the last one but I tend to carry my weight on my hips so bodycon shape doesn't really suit me.

I love both the dress and the thought of it for a laid back Scottish affair. If it won't out you, what's your venue?

Can't stop. Here's a sale bargain.
What would be your ideal shape?

We haven't actually decided yet little Blush but it's between two that are very similar so the dress would work with either.

It sounds stupid but I think dp would be bemused if I turned up in some big white dress but with the green one I can see him thinking "yeah, that's her"
