Help me find my wedding dress please!

[Inyourwildestdreams]

Getting married this spring. Local registry office followed by a family meal. Very small handful of people attending 😊

I have absolutely no idea what kind of thing I want to wear 🙈😅

I’m plus sized (size 22) - really dislike my belly and top of arms. I am large chested so things with a very high neckline don’t really work, and It rather not be overly booby so nothing too low. Open to both full length and shorter styles. I don’t want a full on traditional wedding dress but would like to feel/look somewhat bridal 🤔 so I guess maybe ivory? Flexible budget for the right thing but I’m always open to bargains 😊

I have nobody to go for the wedding dress shopping experience with and would rather not go alone so I’m hoping you can all be my helpers and help me scour the met for the best options 😁😊

I love the second one!

What about a smart jacket or suit?

Some lovely dresses on bombshell in a pale gold

lucycantdance.com do some amazing alternative and plus size weddings dresses. Cost quite a lot though.

I could have written this exact post! This is the dress I’ve bought…

I initially saw it on Asos and it didn’t catch my eye at all. Then I saw it on this Tik Tok video and fell in love

I don’t have a link but I’m large chested too and my wedding dress has boat neckline which was very flattering!

This is so lovely

Love that dress @newyorkinthefall !

Yes I came to say Bombshell HQ too - some glorious dresses, with designs to flatter all shapes / sizes. I am deeply, deeply coveting several…

My sister got her dress and bridesmaid dresses from here. All lovely and very reasonably priced.

I have to say the tik tok one mentioned is very flattering and slims the woman down in the video. The first dress she wears does nothing for her at all.

Thank you so much everyone for all your suggestions - I’ve had a good look at them all 😊 I don’t think anything is quite right so open to more suggestions if there are any?! I feel like the pressure is on and I can’t find anything 🙈

@newyorkinthefall I do love that ASOS dress - and you’re right that the video sells it far better! The open back just doesn’t work for me though 😔 I really need a proper bra to be worn 😔

@keepingsanity @AngryBirdsNoMore Some lovely dresses on Bombshell but really not my style sadly!

@Cornflakes44 Definitely don’t have that budget 😁😅 The dress would be double the price of entire rest of the wedding and the meal 😅😁

Congratulations @Inyourwildestdreams !

Not ivory but I really like this one: https://www.monsoon.co.uk/elena-embellished-maxi-dress-silver-24289911.html

It is a little open at the back for detail but would be above where your bra strap should be.

How about a simple shift dress with a lace duster over. Lace covers a multitude of sins and dusters are getting popular.

Obviously not with the shorts.

This is pretty but not white / cream

I love this one, so simple

I love this & v-necks are very flattering on a big bust

Oops don't know where the green came from! Also comes in white & ivory

I really like this, but it may be a bit conservative for you https://www.monsoon.co.uk/florence-embellished-bridal-dress-ivory-64637846.html

Don't know if its been mentioned on here before but you can always just go on various sites and search for bridesmaid dresses or maxi dresses and select the white color in search filters - might be cheaper than looking outright for a wedding dress!
I've been looking for bridesmaid dresses recently and here's a couple that I have found which are available in white and which I thought would actually make nice wedding dresses 😁
