Wedding dress for older bride - registry office location.

[justanotherneighinparadise]

I’m not sure what sort of style might suit?

I’m fair skinned, brown/blonde hair that’s wavy/shoulder length. Dress size 10-12. Don’t particularly like my upper arms and think my shins look really bony now so I’m thinking full length dress.

Colours that suit are electric blues, navy, black, red, grey. I’m quite bohemian in style. The wedding will be during the summer months.

I have red sparkly Irregular Choice Dorothy style shoes with a big bow. So any colour has got to look okay with red shoes.

Budget up to £100.

Anyone want to help me look?

Oh I love floofycroissant’s coast dress, but in the navy, forest or berry! Please pick one of those 🙏😍 it’s got the waist and floaty ethereal look!

I missed that post!!!! You’re right the Coast one is lovely. Will investigate those links now xx

How tall are you? What's your build like?

5ft 8 Build is hour glass. Not fat, not thin.

I’ve ordered a dress!!!! Well two dresses lol. Couldn’t believe how beautiful the dresses were in ASOS when I looked and ended up options for a bridesmaid dress. Down from £75 to £19.50!! Honestly I couldn’t believe the price.

So I’ve ordered a 10 and 12 as I’m not sure if I want to slim into the 10. Now I’m going to focus on accessories ♥️

Would help if I added the pictures 🤦🏻‍♀️

I will need to wear a bra so I’m wondering what an earth that will look like with the dress 😬

If you can afford it, go to a proper lingerie shop. It is definitely worth it in my experience

Lovely dresses and lovely shoes but I'm not sure they go together at all!

Dress hire has become quite a thing to have something amazing to wear for a one off occasion, www.mywardrobehq.com/
Might be worth considering!

I don’t mind a bit of clash. I did look up pink dress and red shoes to get a few images and really liked it.

Also I don’t think we’re hiring a photographer, so as long as I feel pretty it doesn’t matter if I actually look a state 🤭

Quick go to the GHOST website, they have somre stunnning wedding dresses in the sale that sound up your street.

They are normally pricey but fantastic value in the sale.

Lovely cut and colour. Classy. Understated.

I'm just 50, suits my age, all ages really.

Boob stickers have come on a lot, I wore Brassy Bra on my wedding day and they worked well for an E cup. Alternatively if the dress is so affordable, you could take it to a seamstress and get some support added in

I did wonder about the stick on ones! Thank you for the recommendation x

A red bouquet or flower crown could tie in the shoes

I agree. I think il see what I think when the dress arrives and if I like it I’ll tie the red in elsewhere 👌

Love your shoes

Very pretty dress 👌

In case the ones you’ve ordered aren’t the one: www.dorothyperkins.com/en/dpuk/product/dresses-5699972/womens-dresses-5686813/jolie-moi-grey-flute-sleeve-maxi-dress-9496870?&cmpid=ppc_pla_UK_ip&utm_medium=cpc&istCompanyId=e0b51aa7-96c9-4550-a6f3-56b61a0b5995&istFeedId=c532945a-4da7-45c5-b1d6-860a74ed3719&istItemId=iiqlwtqpi&istBid=tztx&gclid=CjwKCAiAjp6BBhAIEiwAkO9WuihfmF6dF5k63IczRxAQ8OqyamSQ1tFZC7QEl2Qonlp16JXUMblF6BoCmusQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&

Just to let you know I’ve tried it on and the 12 is absolutely perfect. I just need to right bra.

It works with the shoes and I’ll tie the colour in elsewhere. I’m over the moon

So happy for you!

Oh that dress is beautiful, so pleased for you that it fits!!! Red flowers sound perfect too.
