Please help me find a (non traditional) dress to wear to my wedding

My OH and I are planning a very small wedding. We’re not having many of the traditional wedding things, but I would still like to look lovely!

I would love to find a dress that I can wear again, especially to a fairly casual party that we’re going to a few days later.

I would love something full length (I think!), not too high around the neck, perhaps floaty, that will look pretty for the ceremony but that isn’t a traditional wedding dress. I’d consider most colours. I’m early thirties, quite tall and a size 12-14. In an absolutely ideal world the tops of my arms would be covered and it wouldn’t be a synthetic material! I’d love something that isn’t an “occasion” dress (wedding / bridesmaid/ prom type thing)

Can any of you amazing style hunters help me to find something?

There’s this one:

Nooooooo! It’s so beautiful but even my bare bones wouldn’t fit into a size 4!

That white one is very pretty, but I’m not hugely keen on all the ruffles at the bottom. Definitely going in the right direction though!

What about this one on ASOS or this one (also ASOS)

Or the Fitzwilliam tea dress from Oasis

OP I have bought the Asos one you like for my wedding as my evening change. They didn't have my size so I bought it in Tall and have had it altered in a local dry cleaners for £6.

Asos have loads of great dresses - worth a trawl - set your size and budget to narrow it down.
