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

It’s a shame these shoes don’t come in another colour - they’re so comfortable

I love the new number two (pink lace one). I think it's THE ONE! I like the idea of navy with it but if you wanted to feel more brides you could go for more traditional ivory wedding shoes - fun ones of course!

Love it, you look fab!

Wonkydonkey44 · 17/04/2019 16:03

You look amazing Grin

Great dress op , you look fantastic.

I think the red shoes work actually.

GlossyTaco · 17/04/2019 16:12

If you don't wear the red ones then please buy irregular choice shoes.

Dizzywizz · 17/04/2019 16:15

Definitely the second dress, it’s perfect

AncoraAmarena · 17/04/2019 16:15

Love the pink dress, it's perfect! The colour of the shoes do go with it, I'm personally just not keen on that style.

Congratulations, you've found the dress!

ButterflyBitch · 17/04/2019 16:20

I liked pic 2 with your red shoes.
Last dress does also look nice but looks a bit bland to me. You look happy though and that’s the main thing. Also was expecting to see someone huge but you’re not. No one is as unkind to you as you yourself are. You’re lovely. Don’t forget it.

gorbashthecat · 17/04/2019 16:36

Sorry I haven't gone through the PPs. Of the original ones dress 2 looked lovely I think as the cut really suited you. Your figure is great, please don't feel self conscious and enjoy your day!

gorbashthecat · 17/04/2019 16:36

Also yes awesome red shoes...

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 16:40

Oh, do we think the red shoes go?

Hmm

What about these?

Can you please explain the NOPE pants? Grin

I think you could get away with the red shoes if you went for a big bouquet of red roses with green foliage. They're not ideal to my eye at the moment but with more splashes of red you could pull it off. If they're comfy and you love them to hell with it wear them anyway!

I think navy would look too boring tbh. Moss green would complement the dress colour nicely. Imagine tea roses - they're blushy pink and dark green. A nice moss green suede heel would be lovely actually. Then a bouquet of cream and green.

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 16:48

or these?

The Nope Pants are my exercise inspiration! I want to wear sexy pants on my wedding day GrinBlush

Mmm, I wouldn't go bridal-y shoes with that dress.
It does look great on you especially now you've got shoes on. Few dresses look good with bare feet!

Connieston · 17/04/2019 16:50

This sort of mossy green shoe. Green and pink is a soft combo found in nature a lot and it's lovely imho.

@Pinkarsedfly YES YES YES to the “This Special Day” shoes (I linked to those earlier) or the pale blue ones with the flowers 😍😍

Duckswaddle · 17/04/2019 16:59

Definitely stick with the red shoes. They’re fab and red goes with everything!

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 17:02

Thing is, DP has a bit of a thing for me in red shoes Blush

But if they don’t look right I like the thought of green, grey, rose gold or silver.

I like the red shoes with the lace dress!
