Registry office wedding - what would you wear?

33 replies

I’m looking for some major inspiration here and have absolutely no idea where to start or what I want 🙈

Basically…I’m getting married in the spring. Nothing big or fancy, just a very small registry office wedding with a meal afterwards. It’s only just dawned on me that I need to pick “the dress” 🤣 (or any other outfit tbh - I’m not set on dress!).

Can I ask all you lovely mumsnetters for some inspiration 😊 what would you wear? And if you have time for a browse - what would you wear if you were me? Size 22, 5’6ish, 38GG bust, apple shape, medium brown hair and pretty pale skin.

Budget fairly flexible. I’m not about to spend thousand but happy to have a small splurge if it’s on something that makes me feel nice 😊

@Bumblebee112 it's October 13th, when's yours? Not long now!

@bejewelled13 Oh, that’s soon!! We’re just waiting on dates for FILs leave from work in the spring and then we’ll get things organised. He works abroad and leave is hard to arrange. We’re only having very immediate family there

@cantstaymadatyou I absolutely love Needle & Thread and always look at their stuff but I know it would never look right on my shape 😭

Thank you all for the suggestions - I’ll have a good look tonight 😊

@Bumblebee112 same, we've got 18 people and maybe a few more for drinks later on, a really small thing

What a great thread. I may be in the market for a non-bridal dress myself before very long and have bookmarked some of these links. Needle and Thread 😍 good luck OP and have a fantastic day!

I agree re the green bomshell dress. it is gorgeous. I am a size 20 5ft 4ins 40 F and would wear it!

The first ASOS one is very nice but I think would scream Mummy tummy, sadly.

I wore a full length wedding dress to my registry office wedding! It's just as special as any other venue. I love Needle and Thread, Monsoon have some nice things to

@Peony654 Oh, I know 😊 I wasn’t trying to suggest anything other than it being special! You should absolutely wear what you want on your wedding day 😊 I just have no idea what I want 😅 I’ve never dreamed of the big white dress so am struggling to narrow down options 😅 Needle & Thread do some really beautiful things though!
