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 so I’d say yes go for it. I love the colour and the sparkle!!

MariaVT65 · 17/11/2023 09:04

It’s very nice, if you love it then go for it! You can wear whatever you want on your wedding day :) I wore converse 👌

PosyPrettyToes · 17/11/2023 09:04

It's gorgeous!

Possimpible · 17/11/2023 09:08

Yes absolutely, gorgeous dress. The emerald would be lovely for winter too but sold out in my size!

Regret not wearing a strapless style dress, or a wedding dress? If you want a 'proper' wedding dress and it's in budget, don't just wear a high street dress because it's a micro wedding.

It's much prettier than the average meringue.

I expected to see a horror when I opened the link, but this is beautiful! Perfect for what you have planned, such an elegant and timeless choice. Love it!

Jellycats4life · 17/11/2023 09:19

There’s no rule that says bridal = strapless dress. In fact I’ve noticed a lot of brides moving away from strapless dresses recently. Wear what you like!

justalittlesnoel · 17/11/2023 09:38

It's beautiful! Really ethereal - love the sparkly details on it, it's lovely.

LoobyDop · 17/11/2023 09:45

You can wear whatever you want, but in any case that dress is lovely, and I think is quite special and out of the ordinary. It’s a perfect, low-key way to do bridal for your kind of wedding. Have a fantastic day!

Really beautiful dress that would be very suitable especially if getting married on the beach as won’t trail and get sandy. I don’t get the obsession with strapless wedding dresses either, overdone!!

I agree, strapless styles only really look good if you are the right proportion from shoulder to hip and carry no spare flesh, which isn't the case for most of us.

Toddlerteaplease · 17/11/2023 10:08

It's lovely. Go for it!

missfliss · 17/11/2023 10:15

I LOVE that dress - beautiful

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 17/11/2023 10:17

Oh I love that! It's perfect for how you've describe your wedding, I hope you have a beautiful day and a long and happy marriage 😊

Omgwhatthehell · 17/11/2023 10:18

It’s gorgeous OP!
And in my opinion it’s much nicer than a standard strapless ‘wedding’ dress.

Purplecatshopaholic · 17/11/2023 10:19

Wow, now that is a beautiful dress. Go for it and have a marvellous time op.

Shivermetimbersmearty · 17/11/2023 10:21

Gorgeous dress! Also, if you’re in a hot country, lots of inside restaurants have air con, so you might even be too cold.

Also, this dress will actually be cooler- it’s very light, and in hot places it’s cooler to cover up in a light colour to deflect the heat from the sun!

WompingWillow · 17/11/2023 10:23

Oh my goodness yes that's beautiful! I love it! Also covers the "something blue" part if you're into all that 😊

Thehop · 17/11/2023 10:28

It's beautiful

Minniem2020 · 17/11/2023 10:40

It's a stunning dress, I'd go for it.

notawittyname1954 · 17/11/2023 10:49

That is a beautiful dress and you will look lovely. Wear what you like and makes you feel like you and happy. Only you can decide whether you will regret a strapless dress.

Appleblum · 17/11/2023 10:50

It's a lovely dress! Congratulations!

Sa11yCinnamon · 17/11/2023 10:57

You can wear literally anything you want to get married in.

And that is gorgeous!

yellowlane · 17/11/2023 11:07

Beautiful dress

Mosaic123 · 17/11/2023 11:11

Such a lovely dress and a bargain!

Have a lovely wedding.

Interesting how it looks so different in the green colour.
