Help me pick an outfit for MY WEDDING!

I'm getting married!

In two weeks.

Just OH and I and witnesses at the registry office. Lunch afterwards. Nothing fancy.

I'm 6 months post partum and nothing I own fits and I don't know what I suit anymore.

I'm 6' tall, size 20, and pear shaped. Dark hair, blue eyes, pale skin.

Traditionally I've suited wide leg trousers and dresses/skirts that are midi length and have a high and/or defined waist. Looking to buy a whole new outfit. Does anyone have any wonderful ideas?

Please save me from ending up in my jeans that don't really fit! Thank you 😊

Have you had a look at navabi?

Brianna83 · 10/09/2020 19:53

Ooh I haven't heard of them - thank you. I will take a look now

Are you looking for something traditionally bridal? Or more casual?
I think this is really pretty but depends what you are going for.

Not wanting traditionally bridal. Just a nice outfit.

Dress is beautiful but a little too floral for me.

It's a fab shape isn't it (also pear shaped size 20 here!) I will enjoy having a mooch for a non floral option. So exciting to be getting married in two weeks. Hope you find an outfit you love xx

This might be a bit too formal/pink/lacey...but have to share as it's such a bargain! I didn't even know Jenny Packham did plus size stuff so that's good.

This comes in size 20 and loads of different colours (never ordered from this co. tho so can't recommend)

Thank you everyone!

The dresses are all a bit on the formal side... I found this which I quite like

https://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod1070111000154510+2200949099-1

And also this skirt - maybe with a plain back top tucked in?

And was thinking of these with either....

I like this ,it's also available in pale blue www.monsoon.co.uk/fleur-embellished-flared-sleeve-maxi-dress-blue-84682802.html?dwvar_84682802_color=BLUE&quantity=1

Howallergic · 10/09/2020 20:35

A-line or pleats will add weight to you. I'd go for a straight fitted dress with bodycon underwear to keep you tucked in, in all the right places. Highest heels you can bear.

LunaLoveFood · 10/09/2020 20:41

Love the first one.

Brianna83 · 10/09/2020 20:41

Thank you so much for all the ideas - am working my way through them!

I really like the Phase 8 dress with the trainers. Also like the pleated skirt.

BarbRoyle · 10/09/2020 20:51

How about this dress with these metallic brogues?

That would look great Smile

BarbRoyle · 10/09/2020 21:19

Nice skirt. Would the leather jacket be a bit TOO casual?

Absolutely love the skirt! Our two witnesses don't even know why they're coming round so could well be in trackies! No such thing as too causal here as long as I love it and I do!! GrinGrin
