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!

I can't find an image online but I wore a midnight blue, one shouldered, Ralph Lauren floor length gown, with diamante accents. Absolutely loved it and I now love it every single time I wear it for a black tie dinner! Also a fur cape because it was a winter wedding, It's great fun to go non-traditional and you'll feel happy every time you put it on for a big night out afterwards 🤗

This is mine - from ASOS!

A nice Scottish lady knitted the wedding shawl.

Is that the ASOS dress where they put a photo of a woman wearing the dress to advertise it after a man on a dating app sent her a mean message about it?!

It’s lovely (and you can tell your kids it went viral circa 2019 🥹).

Asos is using a woman's photo to advertise a dress after a Tinder match told her she looked ugly in it

A picture of woman who was told a dress was not doing her “any favours” by a stranger on Tinder is being used by online clothing store ASOS.

Cobalt version of this

That's beautiful.

Always recommend
Jjshouse.co.uk

They have a million different dresses. Most come in I think it's over 30 colours. Made to measure or standard sizes and true to size. My wedding and my bridesmaid dresses were from here

This was mine ☺️

This one is when I marry DP, except I'm adding sleeves because I hate my upper arms, the picture I added is the style sleeve I think I'd like. It's from a brand named chotronette.

The very one - and the story broke on my actual wedding day!

I wore this petal maxi dress from Alice Temperley. My sister found it for me - I would never had chosen it myself but the moment I put it on it was obvious it was THE dress for me :)

No photos as she’d kill me but DM got married in a Victorian lace ivory/white long wedding dress, quite slim fitting and long sleeves. She always wanted me to get married in it.

She also made an 18th century floor length cream/ivory slim fitting smocked wedding dress as she had a company that made smocks for sale in late )0s. This was for a client who ended up not getting married. She wanted me to wear that too.

Wow ❤

They're absolutely perfect.
I'm too fat to feel comfortable in one currently but they're absolutely beautiful!

This isn't really in the spirit of the thread so we're taking it down

I chose a straight skirt with a small train and a corset top with cowl neckline off the peg in a bridal shop and had them dye it red. Had a matching red bolero jacket.

What a lovely thread for a wet and miserable summer's (??) day. Thank you @AmilyChestnut Smile

These are all absolutely stellar... every single dress on this thread knocks a trad bridal gown for six!
