Could I wear this to get married in? I'm getting married abroad though so I don't know if I will regret not having a strapless style dress.

We are going for a low key micro wedding with nice meal after. Just a few guests if they can make it. If not just us and our children.

Beautiful dress. If you love it, then absolutely go for it

PragmaticWench · 17/11/2023 08:32

Yes, absolutely!

BlowingAway · 17/11/2023 08:32

I think it's lovely

FloweryWowery · 17/11/2023 08:32

Yes, it's lovely

SgtJuneAckland · 17/11/2023 08:32

Yes I think so, it's a beautiful dress

ForensicFlossy · 17/11/2023 08:32

Yes, it's beautiful

Afteropening · 17/11/2023 08:32

your wedding
wear what the hell you like

Echobelly · 17/11/2023 08:33

Yes, wear what you want - and it's lovely. I got married a 3/4 length blue bridesmaid dress and never regretted not having a big 'bridal' dress, because I wore something that felt right for me.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 17/11/2023 08:34

I would! It's glorious. 👰‍♂

(I'm personally not keen on strapless wedding dresses)

GrumpyOldCrone · 17/11/2023 08:35

Yes, of course. It’s a lovely dress.
I have friends who got married in jeans. I think their point was that the marriage was the important thing rather than the wedding. I think that’s true, although I still wore a meringue when it was my turn (large family: huge wedding).

The main thing is that you’re happy and comfortable.

Oxomoco · 17/11/2023 08:36

The popularity of strapless wedding dresses is mystifying, given they really only suit the small-breasted and thin-shouldered.

That’s a lovely dress, OP.

whiteshutters · 17/11/2023 08:37

I love this dress!

AnneLovesGilbert · 17/11/2023 08:37

Stunning! You’ll look gorgeous. Mine was pale pink and sparkly, cost me £40 from debos in the sale. I felt a million dollars and still have it and love it.

Gherkingreen · 17/11/2023 08:38

It's a beautiful elegant dress and completely appropriate for your wedding - you could wear it again afterwards too.
You could always get a strapless dress to wear on your holiday for dinner/days out etc?

whycantIthinkofadecentusername · 17/11/2023 08:38

Of course you can. It's your day, your (and your partners) wedding day. Wear whatever brings you joy!

Congratulations to you both!

MuchasSmoochas · 17/11/2023 08:40

It’s beautiful OP. 🥳

Yes, it's very pretty and elegant.

FiveShelties · 17/11/2023 08:46

It is a lovely dress. Definitely wear it😀

mangeldelite · 17/11/2023 08:48

Love

storminwayagain · 17/11/2023 08:49

I love it and have had my eye on it for a summer wedding I'm invited to next year (no clash with bridesmaids or the mothers' colours)

LylaLee · 17/11/2023 08:49

Do you feel like you 'have to dress down' because it's a a small wedding?

Do you want to wear a strapless dress?

If you want to wear an enormous meringue, full ball gown, strapless dress for a registry wedding, you can if you want.

The dress is a nice dress. I'm just asking the questions so you can explore if you will regret not wearing a 'wedding dress'.

IlonaRN · 17/11/2023 08:51

It is a beautiful dress!
Much nicer than a strapless one 🙂
