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????

@puppetonastring as my partners wearing a kilt that might have been a clue that we are Scottish and getting married in scotland. However even then its cheaper to get legally married a few days before the ceremony and then have a symbolic ceremony where we say proper vows etc etc in front of our friends and family without any pressure so may just do that.

Oh I love these but might be a bit girly

But I agree with PP the wide legged trousers, cute wee cami and flowers (colours could match his kilt) in your hair. Sorted!

BUT you are definitely going to have to let us know what you get!

White dungarees just make me think of bananrama!
Go with what you feel comfortable with. I was encouraged to go for an amazing dress that was completely not my style. It looked amazing but broke halfway through the day. If I’d gone with my safer choice, that wouldn’t have happened. It did put a small dampener on the day (as most of my time was spent trying to fix my dress so I wouldn’t be flashing everyone, so I didn’t get to see most of the wedding party), but the most important thing was I got marrried.
If you’re really uncomfortable with standing in front of everyone, maybe just have a quick small ceremony at a registry office or something with hubby to be and very close family, then throw a massive bash with all your extending family/ friends etc after? Whatever you do, I hope you have a lovely day. Just remember, the most important bit is the getting married, everything else is just gravy x

I believe you should wear whatever you like. I don't like them thought.

I'm sure there are things about our wedding that people didn't like, but we loved it so it doesn't matter.

though

I think you should wear exactly what you want on your wedding day, if that’s dungarees then go for it! Much more interesting than wearing one of the millions of soulless identikit meringues. Rather than buying the white denim ones you could look at having some made in a more traditional wedding dress material like silk satin or lace, I saw some white lace dungarees which looked incredible (can’t remember the brand unfortunately but they were into four figures so maybe just inspiration!), or dress the denim ones up with a fancy top underneath?

You’re the bride if you can wear what you want on your wedding day, when can you?

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in! You’ll look beautiful regardless!
