Hi,
I'm getting married in September and starting to look for a dress, it's a second marriage for both of us, registry office on The Royal mile Edinburgh, thenThe Witchery, it will just be my partner and I.
'm 42, hourglass type figure so i suit a more fitted style than floaty, i would't wear the belt but was thinking of adding one of these waistbands instead ??
Any ideas?

Having seen your posts I'd love to get married again though!

WooNoodle · 30/05/2022 20:59

I'd go plain bag and yes to white/ivory shoes.

TokyoSushi · 30/05/2022 21:02

All just fabulous, congratulations OP!

EggRollsForever · 30/05/2022 21:03

The pearls are lovely as is dress. Good luck with those heels though on the Royal Mile 😁 I loved my second wedding so much more than my first!

BeatricePortinari · 30/05/2022 21:09

The dress is gorgeous.

I like the first belt best, a little bit of sparkle and would do silver shoes with it.

Oh and I'd have flowers!!
A small white bouquet and a button hole for him.
Flowers say wedding to me, and you are getting married!!!
Enjoy and congratulations 😊

dawnn · 30/05/2022 21:20

It looks perfect. I love it!

paintingcolors · 30/05/2022 21:23

It's really lovely. I like the pearl belt the best. Congrats !

SpringIntoChaos · 30/05/2022 21:30

Stunning!! I'm a celebrant OP and have seen many brides of all ages, shapes and styles. This is beautiful! I love the Pearl belt and the first bag...very classy indeed 💗 The shoes are gorgeous too...but you could also go for a coloured suede (blue...red...magenta??) which would also look fantastic!

lilaloves · 30/05/2022 21:42

Trying to convince other half to go for something like this but he's not sold on the bow tie, so maybe just with a tie

The shoes are lovely and the first bag, but a coloured shoe would also be gorgeous. A suede? Bright green/ blue/ purple/ fuschia?

JedEye · 30/05/2022 22:30

Lovely dress! You will feel a million dollars in that OP!

Oh and Devon the pearl belt and the first bag.

JedEye · 30/05/2022 22:32

I meant definitely.

Not Devon Confused

Thistlelass · 31/05/2022 00:31

I think the second belt and the pearl bag will look beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful wedding day and many happy years together.

Pamlar · 31/05/2022 07:57

Congratulations!
Gorgeous dress and belt options.
I would go for a coloured shoe to make it more modern and so you can wear them again.
I would choose a deep scarlet or any other jewel tone -depending on your colouring

I pref first option for your fiance. Think it will go with your outfit better too

Fizzysister · 31/05/2022 14:00

SO gorgeous! Is the dress from a bridal shop/collection?

Floisme · 31/05/2022 14:28

I love that dress. It reminds me of my mum's wedding outfit so it's also very poignant for me.

I prefer the pearly belt.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

balalake · 31/05/2022 16:09

It looks lovely and hope your wedding is a beautiful day.

Caaarrrl · 31/05/2022 16:14

Gorgeous outfit. Love the first bag with it and either waistband would be lovely. Would definitely go for statement shies though. Something bright and fun.

Littlemissprosecco · 31/05/2022 16:21

Or nude shoes!! Then the whole focus will be on you!

darlingdodo · 31/05/2022 16:22

You're going to look absolutely beautiful in that dress, just so elegant. I like pearl belt and first bag.

Your DH needs a kilt for a wedding in Edinburgh!

ApolloandDaphne · 31/05/2022 19:12

DP I mean. He isn't your DH yet!

Frenchyfrog · 31/05/2022 19:16

It’s lovely, but please don’t get het up about your age!! 40s are still young! Wear what makes you feel the best. I would get some shoes you would wear again. I’ve not worn my wedding dress again, but I do wear the shoes and they make me happy every time I wear them!

lilaloves · 31/05/2022 19:35

We are Scottish so Dp has worn a kilt to lots of weddings before, and my ex wore a kilt when we got married
