What do you think of this dress for a garden wedding, late 40s bride

[FortunesFave]

After years of putting it off for one reason or another, we've decided we'd better get married. Been together 20 years and feel slightly embarrased about a wedding because I'm extremely introverted.

We've decided to have a celebrant in our garden. We live in Australia and September is the month we've chosen because I'm about to turn 50 then.

I don't want to wear white or cream as I'm very pale and they just don't look good. We're only going to be having about 15 guests...very relaxed, a caterer and a bar....I want something lovely but not short or anything that shows any chest as my chest is very red due to broken veins...I also suit high necks as have a small chest and shoulders. I like this...any thoughts or other suggestions please? Must have SOME sleeve and high neck. Thanks!

It perfect.

I have fond memories of an Australian garden wedding. Enjoy your day.

It's a beautiful dress. I hope you love it when it arrives.

I love that dress so much!

Have the most loveky wedding OP, and don't worry about a thing.

Love your dress. I am in Australia too and I think it will be perfect for the weather too!

I really loved it too. Please post when you receive it, hope it is just as lovely when you try it on.

I have long hair and always wear it up so I'll probably have it up in a big loose bun with a few curls. Can anyone advise on earrings? What should I wear with such a busy dress?

That also sounds perfect. Have a wonderful wedding

Congratulations OP you are going to look amazing 🤩

I'm a bit late for an opinion on the dress....although it's gorgeous. Your wedding sounds wonderful. Have a fab time.

Congrats and I hope you get to relax, feel special and enjoy your day. The dress is simply stunningly fabulous and I hope it works in RL as well as it looks online.

It’s a beautiful dress OP, I’m half tempted to order one for myself!

[quote londonmummy1966]These earrings would be nice - elegant and tie in with the dress

I think these would go perfectly.
Its a beautiful dress OP. I love it.

Beautiful

No.
It's too dark and more of an evening dress
Plus it looks a bit synthetic and cheap.
Look at Ghost or Wolf and Badger

Gorgeous dress.
Gorgeous earrings.
It doesn't look cheap, it will look stunning on you.

It looks perfect . Hope you like it when it arrives .

I think it’s beautiful. I’m similar shape to yourself and I’d go for it. Definitely. I can’t wear light colours either

It looks perfect. I also like the lapis lazuly earring suggestion from @londonmummy1966

ekkk! lazuli

Absolutely gorgeous.

That is lush. And you'll be able to wear it again.
I got married in red

It’s stunning

The dress is beautiful and definitely not cheap looking. As for being too dark, a friend of mine wore a black dress to her wedding. She looked amazing.

The best wedding dress is always the one you like most and feel great in. Hope that is exactly how you feel when it arrives.

Thats lovely!

Stunning, and can really imagine that against pale skin. Enjoy your day

It’s absolutely beautiful and perfect! I got married this year after 25 years and I felt daft too, reckon I would have felt less daft in that gorgeous frock
