Show me your non traditional wedding dress!

Can I see everyone's non traditional wedding dresses please.

Or any dress you'd love to get married in, or wear to a special event.

I am getting married and don't know what I want, but know I don't want white or traditional.

Thank you!

This was mine when I got married in April - I had a cream faux fur stole with it . £50 from Pretty Kitty !

Gorgeous 🙂 bet it was a beautiful day.

Loving the gowns on here especially the knitted jumper, dip dye Lucy can't dance and tartan.

Oh @QueenOfWeeds , that's gorgeous, my second choice was a very similar Droopy and Browns dress (giving away my great age)

I know all about Droopy and Browns and I'm only early 40s! I became introduced to them at a vintage fair. I am not married but my friend got married in a 70s dress very much like the one on the wedding in Man about the House (17 mins in on this video)

Still a bargain ! The pictures didn’t do it justice really as it looked like satin in the flesh and hung so beautifully

It was indeed ! 😊

Google Belle Mackie and Greg James' wedding, she wore a lemon dress and looked amazing!

That is a beautiful dress, you look amazing (even with no face).

Not me, and not yet…but saw this and remembered this thread. This would be an amazing wedding dress. https://www.theoutnet.com/en-gb/shop/product/marchesa-notte/dresses/gowns/off-the-shoulder-pleated-floral-print-chiffon-gown/1647597321992895

This was mine. I don’t suit white at all. It was made by Flossy & Dossy in Glasgow.

I know this thread is a couple of months old, but it is lovely!

@ViciousChicken that is gorgeous. Just a perfect red.

But what I COVET are your shoes. Are they Carels, or where/what? I am on the hunt for non school marmy Mary Janes.

I got married in the 80s eeek!
Didn’t want a meringue so went ‘power dressing’ instead
Very similar style suit to this but mine was raw silk in an ivory colour

Wow. This is too gorgeous for words. I fear my back would look like a bum crack in that though..

That's amazing. Is it 70s?

ViciousChicken · 08/10/2023 09:45

@FarEast Thanks, am glad you like the dress. The shoes are actually Hush Puppies! And more detailed than you can see in the photo, but perfect for a wedding. Think it was a random fluke I found them as I don't do uncomfortable shoes. I still own them, 10 years on but haven't worn them since as I don't do heels! Maybe I should sell them.

Thanks @ViciousChicken They're even nicer close up.

I wore a silk skirt and my Mum knitted me a jumper (was chilly early spring day so perfect for the weather).

Late to the thread but that's a fantastic outfit. Traditional white/ivory but makes the other traditional white/ ivory look fussy and overblown.

Countrymaid · 09/10/2023 11:09

Yes..and it still fits..the joy of a tie waist!
