I am NOT enjoying choosing my wedding dress - pics

I’m getting married on my 45th birthday, in just a couple of weeks - and I’m so excited.

Except I’m at my fattest. Ever. And suddenly who I feel I am inside doesn’t match what’s in the mirror.

I simply can’t find a dress that suits me.

I keep thinking I’ve found ‘the one’ - then I see the pics and just feel I look heinous, and back it goes.

If I show the pics, can anyone out there give me honest feedback, make suggestions etc?

It’s a tiny registry office wedding followed by a nice dinner after.

TIA

the last photo you posted looks a lot nicer than I was expecting (not a dig at you!) I thought the link was a bit dull but in real life it is lovely and suits you...

Please can you try on the pretty eccentric red dress because that looked AMAZING

MrsT4 · 17/04/2019 15:27

Oh show us!!!!

GreenTulips · 17/04/2019 15:28

Show!!!

Love dress 2! 😍 Rose gold shoes?

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 15:31

It’s the second one above. It’s a definite front runner.

I’ll try the Pretty Eccentric one and the Nancy Mac ones when they come, but I’m falling in love with the pink lace.

I like these shoes to go with it. I think?

Of the recent photos you've put up I really like how the first of the dresses sits on you. I love the embroidered pattern on it and I think you look seriously WOW in it!
It's the one you posted at Wed 17-Apr-19 14:46:12

Really like it on you.

Love the cobalt butterfly shoes.
The pale green ones have too much cut outs on them that is competing with the lace on the dress.

One suggestion OP, can you very carefully press the dress. Nothing looks its best with packing creases

IHateUncleJamie · 17/04/2019 15:43

I love the dress. Think the cobalt blue shoes are too low. Would La Vie en Rose or That Special Day shoes (both Joe Browns) work?

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 17/04/2019 15:44

The last thing you want are high heels that are going to kill your feet unless you are used to wearing them.

IHateUncleJamie · 17/04/2019 15:45

Oops, just seen La vie en rose are non-matching pink lace, scratch those.

These? www.joebrowns.co.uk/sp+field-of-flowers-shoes+kc058?contenta=CrossSale6

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 17/04/2019 15:45

Can we see a pic with you wearing shoes with the dress.
Makes a big difference

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 15:47

I’ve also just taken delivery of a new bra, which is very only and seems to have perked my bolster up a bit..

Comfy, not only.

Do I have Bolster Tits?

Ooooo those pale blue babies with the flowers are ace! (15.45)

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 17/04/2019 15:48

Tits are fine, very perky

IHateUncleJamie · 17/04/2019 15:48

@Breakfast I know! I want some!

IHateUncleJamie · 17/04/2019 15:49

Pale blue shoes, obvs, not tits. I have tits. Grin

Nesssie · 17/04/2019 15:49

Love that dress op! Stunning and very flattering.

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 15:50

With shoes. Ignore the colour!
