Don't want to wear wedding dress

[merlotmummy14]

I've always been a bit of a tomboy and I've always hated formal events - I'm quite a casual type of girl so dresses and fancy jumpsuits just aren't my style at all - I'm much happier in skinny jeans and a cute top or dungarees and my slip on vans. I'm all about comfort. My partner and I are soon to get engaged (he wants to come up with a unique proposal) howeved we've already discussed our wedding and wrote down a list of our priorities one of which is for everybody to be comfortable. I don't think I would feel comfortable in a dress however I've found a pair of white dungarees on asos that I would absolutely love to wear along with a pair of all white slip on vans and a nice white top. Is this going to be a huge social faux pas? Would you find it weird seeing a bride in dungarees? My partner will be wearing his kilt as he loves it and enjoys being comfortable in it and he says I will be beautiful no matter what. We're having a very non traditional wedding - village hall, humanist ceremony, bbq and get a few guests to bring side salads with takeaway pizza served in the evening. 50 during the day and 100 for the reception. We already have a kid together and know we don't want to spend a huge amount - our cap is at £2000 but its looking more like £1200 at current budget. Getting married at registrars and then doing symbolic ceremony. My mum might be a bit upset/embarrased but most of my family who know me would just be like "eh that sounds like something she'd do" as they've always known I'm quite laid back yet quirky. I've just never dreamed about a wedding dress so I don't see the point in wearing one if it will make me feel awkward. m.asos.com/asos/asos-design-denim-dungaree-in-off-white/prd/8910721?CTARef=Saved%20Items%20Image

These are the dungarees in question. Opinions????

Missed your last post.
The white tux is fabulous.

It's what you think not what others think. People are meaning well by suggesting something more formal but still 'trousers' of some kind but I feel that you're allowing yourself to be swayed as you've said you love casual and don't feel right in formal clothes.

Truthfully, I also thought they look like a painter's overalls but you should wear what you truly want to and the flip side of that is some people won't like it but it doesn't really matter.

I love the wide leg trousers and tuxedos you posted! Before I saw them I was going to suggest white jeans rather than the dungarees, maybe with a cami type top or lacy/sparkly top.

Wide leg linen trousers and a cami vest. Few flowers in your hair? Keep the vans?

Good luck on your big day.

Ultimately wear what you want.

It's your day.

Sorry Floop only just read your post!

Yes! www.johnlewis.com/phase-eight-cortine-jumpsuit-cream/p3425398?sku=237321232&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_of1x7X92gIVBrDtCh04OwQPEAQYCCABEgKa6_D_BwE&s_afcid=af_78888&s_kwcid=2dx92700028113818531&tmad=c&awc=1203_1526076273_cb06fd040871294edcc3e69e514404ad&tmcampid=48&gclsrc=aw.ds

Deffo the white tux... I get that you feel comfy in your dungarees but it seems to me that someone who cares about a special proposal might also look back and think they wish they had worn something a bit more special on their actual day, maybe? You don't have to go the whole hog but it's nice to scrub up a bit for a wedding, especially if your man there is going to be a bit more dressed up in his kilt.

The tux wins.

I really liked that tux from Next as well, that'd be a great option. I got married in cream trousers and a lace tunic, I definitely wanted to be comfortable but reasonably smart. You can wear anything you want, there are no rules. But I think a look that coordinates with your DP's kilt as TeeBee suggests is great - a top that picks up one if the colours in the kilt or a some flowers that do.

Whatever you choose, have a great day!

I really like the second next picture (ivory slouch tux). Could you pick a colour (but not red) from his kilt for a cami ?

I think you're spot on for wanting to wear something that you are comfortable in. Wedding idea sounds wonderful and a relaxing intimate day.

A friend had a lovely wedding in her village with a marquee and all the guests bringing different dishes and desserts and similar idea in the evening and it was a fantastic day

I'm with others, your wedding, your rules!!

The dungarees are painting and decorating style, loved the tux one from Next, but your day, you wear what you like and enjoy 🍾💕

Wow I really loved the dungarees, think people are being really rude about them, I'm pretty sure no one will think you look like a workman on the day! A lot of the other out first suggested sound really 'old lady' to me.

Having said that, the tux outfit you linked to is pretty cool. Whatever you do don't wear linen though, you'll be a crumpled mess in no time.

If you like the wide leg trouser look, what about colottes? They can look cool with trainers.

Don't like the dungarees but I think the white suit or a similar idea is lovely. Perhaps with a white camisole and pretty red jewellery to match the kilt?

I’m getting married next month, registry office job, I’ll be wearing my jeans, heels and pink blouse, my dp will be in jeans, shirt and converse then off to the pub for a meal and a few cocktails 🍸

Wear what you like - I do however think you'd look like a painter/decorator in those dungarees.

Well this thread has got me my first quote I the daily fail. And it was a poorly constructed sentence that I noticed after I posted. So shame on them for lifting it😂

We got married recently in Kengsington and I wore black jeans and red converse...
Wear what you want.... it's your day...
We did it how we wanted from start to finish... even the staff were surprised but loved the originality to it all...

dont even listen to the replys telling you to differ slightly! are they what you want them hell yes to em.you ll look beautiful.and if you feel comfortablr and beautiful yourself then it wll glow out of your and make you stunngin so go for it
your wedding sounds wonderful.truly togetheryness ness ness.i love it.
the only thing Id say.but you know your own mind so I don't no why im saying it is ...remember and think just a little this is the only time you get to wear "the dress" for a wedding so make sure you never think youll regret getting to.not that you would or should. I just know a lady who wore a jumpsuit and looking back wished shed experienced the blow out girly dress ensemble.
good luck for your big day it really does sound lovely.and so do you and you man

The British Eurovision lady was wearing a lovely white jumpsuit.

Another vote for the white Next tux. I think it would look terrific and still tick your comfort boxes.

I would wear what you like but accessorise it with a shitload of flowers.

Have a look on Rock n Roll bride website. Lots of different bridal outfits - white dresses, spotty dresses, mermaid sequin frocks, and jumpsuits: www.rocknrollbride.com/2017/08/modern-minimal-wedding-with-pops-of-orange-a-jumpsuit-wearing-bride/

Sounds great to me! Tbh asking MN is never going to make your mind up. Everyone has different ideas about what they would do. You should just go with what feels right to you, and own it.

They do look like painter and decorator dungerees. Your wedding sounds lovely and fun though! Not to be the fun police but you do know that unless you’re in Scotland humanist ceremonies are not recognised in law and you have to do the legal bit separately?
