I am getting married but am stuck wedding dress shopping. We have a formalish wedding in my STBDH country and then a party in London two months later. ( i have attached a pic as i found a dress for that and to give an idea of my style )

Gor the main day, i am struggling. I tried on a plain gown with a beautiful back, but I don't know, I feel too old..

Any ideas? I'd like something quirky. Size 14. Budget up to £2k hugh neck as décolleté is buggered by years of sun..

Wow! And will show my legs! Planning on saint laurent gold tributes?

Show quote history

That would look amazing.

A lovely MN'er found me this for my London Wedding. I got it in a Harvey Nicks but it's also available on net a porter. I loved it and it was very flattering but it might not be dramatic enough-I got married at Marylebone town hall and then chiltern fire house then had a party later on when I wore a cocktail dress.

It is lovely! And you wedding day sounds blissful! Congrats!

Would you consider a slightly shorter dress: https://www.mytheresa.com/me/en/women/roksanda-bridal-demetria-cape-gown-white-p00821310?utm_source=sea_pla&utm_medium=google&utm_campaign=google_sea&ef_id=CjwKCAjwxr2iBhBJEiwAdXECwz6Y8WT0wsRUlkUvXY0eAoXZMvEelwXhdLf7wMKWATlu8hXCzIL4_RoC7xUQAvD_BwE&chn=sea_shopping&src=google&cmp=19781843408&tarea=sa&tar=&ag=&ptyp=&feed_num=P00821310-6&gclid=CjwKCAjwxr2iBhBJEiwAdXECwz6Y8WT0wsRUlkUvXY0eAoXZMvEelwXhdLf7wMKWATlu8hXCzIL4_RoC7xUQAvD_BwE:G:s&gclsrc=aw.ds&gbraid=0AAAAAD3Pw-mrGkHdHAoAW4QvcezEJabP3&gbraid=0AAAAAD3Pw-mrGkHdHAoAW4QvcezEJabP3&gclid=CjwKCAjwxr2iBhBJEiwAdXECwz6Y8WT0wsRUlkUvXY0eAoXZMvEelwXhdLf7wMKWATlu8hXCzIL4_RoC7xUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

This is beautiful too and I love the details:

I’m so jealous of your wedding shoes, they’re going to look amazing!

They are beautiful but I really need ivory. And long, it is fairly formal and i think those two criteria with a high neck are my only criteria. Oh, and dramatic glamour..

Not as easy as I thought but they have been some wonderful suggestions..

I think the Safiyaa ones are beautiful! Safiyaa has an amazing range on the website, and you can have them made specifically if you want a particular colour or embellishments- takes a few months. I was looking at that option for my wedding last year (got married for the second time in my forties). Finally settled on a Needle and Thread dress in a champagne colour- absolutely loved it for dancing!!
