Could I wear this as a wedding dress?

[riotlady]

I’ve just seen this dress from the outnet advertised and I think I’m in love with it. I’m tempted to get it for my wedding but I’m getting married in August and I don’t know if it’s too dark? I’d be aiming for forest nymph vibes but I’m not sure if it comes across too winter-y. I’m not bothered that it’s not white, our daughter will be at the wedding so that ship has clearly sailed!

Forest nymph is right.

You might look like your own bridesmaid tho.

Oh it’s gorgeous

I love it! It's gorgeous.
Wear whatever the hell you like.

It's nice. Are you tall? I think you will need to be the model's height for definite (or wear heels to get you there!!)

Stunning

And have the bridesmaids in something lovely but plain in ivory

It's beautiful.

Beautiful. Do it.

That is stunning

It’s gorgeous and I’m all for wearing non-white/non wedding dresses.:
My fear would be if it’s just too hot - like a 32 degree day. I think it would look out of season ..
depends on time if wedding. Is it midday affair or late afternoon?

Love it.

I don’t like the pink ribbons dangling at the front, apart from that it’s lovely.

I’m 5’8, so not quite model height but tall enough I think? I’m definitely not model slim though

I was too slow, it’s sold out! :(

Personally I would do that for a wedding dress—get a beautiful non-wedding dress. The quality of what you are getting for the price, the specialness, totally another level.

Really lovely- was going to say it’s only in size 16 though.

Oh that is a shame, it is beautiful.

Just a heads up: the reason this is so heavily reduced is because the brand is Harvey Weinstein’s wife’s brand. While she is obviously not to blame for his behaviour, it was revealed that Harvey would force A-listers to wear the brand to promote it, which she must have been aware of.

If this doesn’t matter to you then feel feel to disregard.

Have a look at needle and thread - lots of similar dresses there.

Oh no that it sold out! Gorgeous ones on etsy on a similar theme, have a look 😊

Why don't you buy it to change into it for the evening bit.

I'm so sad for you, that was amazing

Absolutely beautiful. Go for it.

It is gorgeous, and wear whatever you want to your own wedding :) (I have a 20th wedding anniversary coming up so was just looking at the old pics of me getting married in a gold jacquard trouser suit with a frock coat - it was my fave ever item of clothing I have ever owned and looked so cool).

Ah bummer. Just saw that it was sold out. You have great taste though, I'm sure you will find something else you love.
