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

Absolutely gorgeous.

@thisisasurvivor Thank you. I was in a Tkmaxx store this morning and saw two wedding dresses for sale. They had an ivory Ghost dress and a White French connection. I actually thought they were nicer than mine and under £50. Can't beat Tkmaxx for a good bargain!

I got married in a Candy Anthony dress. Looked nothing much on the hangar but was a beautiful cut / fit. I’m quite dinky and the tea length dress was perfect.

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.

They are ALL absolutely beautiful dresses, so lovely to see.

This is my favourite- best wishes for your big day @Lwrenagain Flowers

Oh this is beautiful!

Thank you @iamnottoofatiamjusttooshort , that's just what I thought about the dress. It went from the religious part right through to the after-party, and it's practical enough that I can still wear it.

Zippitydoodaa · 31/07/2023 21:30

LauraDLoves, - You're outfit is quite lovely, absolutely gorgeous.
Shoes look perfect and to wear something your mum had created must have been so special.

@Scirocco ❤️💐

Just perfect !

Not married but I would pick a dress made by Rosie red
She made me the gown in the second pic as well as a custom corset and I adore it

@JulesJules you looked amazing, like Maid Marian! Was it the mid 90s?

lastminutewednesday · 31/07/2023 21:58

This was mine. Found for me by a MN'er actually when I asked a similar question :)

@Defiantlynot41 , mine was a Droopy and Brown's one as well! A gold silk ballerina length riding habit, with a gold silk top hat and gold silk edwardian button ankle boots.
It's the most expensive thing I've ever bought (clothing that is) and it was perfect! We were the first lesbians to "wed" in our city and it brought a lot of press attention.
It's our silver wedding anniversary this year.

This was mine; 6 years ago. The skirt was silver silk from Amanda Wakeley; the blouse was a black silk wrap from Wolf and Badger
