Help me find a wedding outfit (bride!)

DH and I got married in a tiny lockdown ceremony and we are now having our wedding reception and a blessing this summer with all our friends and family. I have literally no idea what to wear - I want to look somehow bridal but not wear a wedding dress 😁 I have been thinking of a white/cream/ivory jumpsuit but the only one I liked was from Hope and Ivy and too booby.
I’m 5’2 so very short and a size 8 but have big boobs and bum so plunging styles don’t work.
I’d like something contemporary and not too fussy. Open to off beat suggestions!

I'd go super simple, this one should be boob safe with the spaghetti straps and then pair with a topper depending on your style

You could add a veil for the ceremony, floor length for drama, shoulder length for a 60s vibe

Or you could do the more trendy cropped leather jacket, a very pretty embroidered capelet or sequins for something a bit more party

I love that blush jumpsuit!

I’m 5’w” with boobs and although a lot older than you, love Adrianna Papell column dresses. They always need shortening but very glam! Short and large boobs means jumpsuits don’t really work for me as they always look unbalanced. I weigh under 8 stone so not a large physique! She has some beautiful beaded dresses in white, blush, natural which might suit.

Off-beat summery suggestion, would be great for a more informal do. I had no idea Coast had such lovely stuff atm! www.coastfashion.com/statement-embroidered-maxi-dress/ACC01218.html?color=133

I absolutely love this. If I were getting married again and had a rib cage, I'd consider this.

I love these ideas - have ordered a couple of things to try. Thank you so much! I’ve been really struggling to find stuff that isn’t a full on wedding dress but somehow feels «weddingy» 😅
