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

Delightful. You really felt the need to criticise a dress someone has already worn for a special occasion and said that they still wear and love? That's rather rude.

Actually, I got lots of compliments about it in real life and still do when I wear it. Even my mum liked it and she usually despairs over my post-goth addiction to black.

The nun comparison is quite funny, though. There was nothing nun-like about our wedding. Unless you know some very strange nuns.

I’ll be getting my dress from Lucy Can’t Dance. They have so many cool dresses including sequin ones but this is one of their dresses

This is mine, £25 from Tkmaxx. It's a Ralph Lauren dress.

So many gorgeous dresses in this thread!

If this picture attaches... I wore a dark green velvet dress, long midi length, fitted top and long sleeves. From Monsoon.

This is mine - I had second thoughts about my original dress so I bought a load of silk a couple of days before the wedding and my mum whipped this up. The top is partly held together with safety pins 😆it was a bit like the final challenge on Sewing Bee!

@PoliticallyIncorrectHitchling how unbelievably unpleasant. Hope you feel good about yourself .

Scirocco · 31/07/2023 20:23

@DaveWatts I love that! Such a cool story and the dress looks amazing. I love that colour on you.

@harriethoyle Well said, totally unnecessary and rude comment.

A deep purple halter-neck silk dress. Very ‘me’, as remarked by quite a few guests!

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

I wore a vintage Edwardian lawn tea dress. Neither of these are mine, but it was very similar.

So beautiful and classy. Very Audrey Hepburnesque.

"Oh dear that looks like a nuns habit not a wedding dress. A bit drab and boring"

What a horrible thing to say on such a beautiful thread !
I think the outfit looks classy modest and very flattering
How sad to put down a fellow female at a time of shared joy

This dress is perfection

My friends paid 3-4 k for theirs and none as lovely as this

GreenNoel94 · 31/07/2023 21:01

The silk skirt and knitted jumper has to be my favourite it’s beautiful, elegant and classy and so wonderful that your mum made a part of it.

RitzyMcFitzy · 31/07/2023 21:07

The silk skirt and jumper combo reminds me of Olivia Palermo's wedding outfit. She wore similar.
