Help me find a dress to get married in!

[Lucylocks222]

I’m getting married at the end of next month. It’s a quiet one with just family. I don’t want a traditional dress but would like something special.
It doesn’t have to be white but I would like a light colour - white, or pale blue or a subtle dusty pink maybe.
I really like dresses that are embroidered - there is lots I like on Needle & Thread but nothing is quite right … too many sequins.
I absolutely want sleeves.
Can anyone help me? Any suggestions or even names of brands that would fit my brief?
Budget is maybe £300 or £400 tops.
I absolutely want sleeves! Nothing low cut or revealing.
Please help me!

Need to know your size and shape and preference for style - traditional / bohemian / 40/50/60s?? Xx
I'm tiny (think 5ft and size 6) and that really restricted what I could wear. Went for a 1950s shape as it suited me. But, had I been taller, I would have worn something different.

Not a dress but skirt and matching top www.whistles.com/product/ariane-lace-wedding-co-ord-29467.html#cgid=Dresses_Clothing_WW&is=true&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&pid=ariane-lace-wedding-co-ord-29467&pos=50

@timestheyarechanging I’m size 10 and open to a range of styles. Late 20s in age if that helps at all - don’t want to wear anything that ages me.
A sleeve of some sort and nothing busty are my most important criteria.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.. there are some beautiful options but none are quite what I’m looking for yet!

Have you looked at Reformation?

Also Hope & Ivy (hopeandivy.co.uk/collections/new-season/products/the-delphi-1 or hopeandivy.co.uk/collections/new-season/products/the-fleur)

Check out Nancy Mac, might be your thing.
They will make up any of their styles in any of their fabrics and have great customer service.

Something like this maybe?

On sale at ASOS. No5 too many sequins

@Zebracat I’d prefer something a little longer!

Not quite sure if you would like the style of dress, but Shibumi have some rather lovely embroidered dresses in various colours.
www.shibumistyle.com/collections/shift-dresses
www.shibumistyle.com/products/bardot-dress-in-vintage-rose
Not embroidered, but a beautiful colour. www.shibumistyle.com/products/bardot-dress-in-paradise
Their embroidered coats are also very elegant.

When you say sleeves do you mean long sleeves?

Frock and Frill also do embroidered dresses - well within budget and might be worth a look? frockandfrill.com/collections/dresses-shop-by-category-embroidery

Any good?

I’ve been eyeing up this one from Coast

Any nice independent boutiques near you? Well worth a browse, as you might chance upon something perfect. I found my wedding dress that way. Wasn’t really looking, it found me!
