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.

You could wear a bin bag if you wanted to!

AS for the dress - gorgeous! You will look beautiful!

It's absolutely stunning 😍

Zelda93 · 17/11/2023 15:11

Beautiful!!

Weddings are about YOU. They're often forced into being events for friends and family, but at the end of the day, you have absolutely power. Do what you think you'll enjoy, and anyone that makes it awkward can be told to f-off :)

Yes, it is stunning .

Well, in what you wear, yes.

Some brides think they have absolute power over their guests, what they wear, how much they should spend on presents, how much they should spend on a hen do, how much people should inconvenience themselves because their dream venue is Antarctica in winter and everyone should wear purple.

On anything else other than your own outfit it's a moot point.

Yes! Strapless dresses are unflattering on most people in my opinion.

Lovethatforyouhun · 17/11/2023 15:33

Love it

Circularargument · 17/11/2023 16:50

You can wear whatever you want.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 17/11/2023 17:10

Yes It's a beautiful dress

wharminere · 17/11/2023 17:13

A lot of people would find wearing white to a wedding to be a bit weird, if not downright rude

Couldn't agree more. Luckily this dress is blue

Isthisit22 · 17/11/2023 18:00

It’s beautiful- go for it.

Middleagedmeangirls · 17/11/2023 18:23

It's beautiful. I'm glad you are going for it.

anybloodyname · 17/11/2023 18:25

Beautiful!

EmmaGrundyForPM · 17/11/2023 18:26

of course you can, it's lovely

Bex0074 · 17/11/2023 18:34

Absolutely. Your wedding. Your Choice the dress is absolutely stunning

Weatherwax13 · 17/11/2023 18:38

It's a gorgeous dress and I'm sure you'll look beautiful. Have a wonderful day OP

Lilibert456 · 17/11/2023 18:38

It is lovely.

CrabbiesGingerBeer · 17/11/2023 18:42
  1. It’s a lovely dress
  2. It’s your wedding. You can get married in dungarees and a cowboy hat if you want.
ithinkthatmaybeimdreaming · 17/11/2023 18:53

It's a gorgeous dress, and you will look lovely. Much nicer than a strapless dress.

However, I mean this kindly, you really don't need to ask a bunch of random strangers about your wedding dress. It's your wedding, you should wear whatever you want to wear, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

But then the Style & Beauty board would not exist.__

It’s nice enough but not very ‘special’. Plus 100% polyester - I’d be sweating.

I got married abroad and there’s no way I would’ve wanted a full on wedding dress - but my dress looked bridal.

Moveoverdarlin · 17/11/2023 19:59

It’s lovely, I’d maybe hang on until next week to buy it as you might get a good 20 percent off with Black Friday.

momtoboys · 17/11/2023 20:00

Its lovely. Congratulations!

The dress looks pale blue to me, but agreed, it is too close to white for a guest.

It’s not close to white in any shape or form. It is blue and classy to wear to a wedding as a guest if that poster wants to.
