I’m so jealous of a New Orleans wedding. The dress is beautiful and very modest more than I thought she’d go for. I’m in ff to find more pics

That's such a beautiful absolutely dateless, vintage-inspired wedding dress. The only wedding dress to me that hasn't dated is Grace Kelly's but this is a classic.

BarcardiWithGadaffia · 06/05/2024 10:30

Oh my, I think that's awful, but she loves it and that's what matters

theworldie · 06/05/2024 10:33

I don’t think it suits her at all sorry. She has such a lovely figure and that dress is like one of those toilet roll holders! Only a skinny waif could get away with that IMO.

A game of two halves for me. Top half is really lovely especially the headpiece with her amazing hair. Bottom half is beyond awful. But she loves it and that’s the main thing.

MaryFuckingFerguson · 06/05/2024 10:36

Gosh. Each to their own, but I think it’s utterly hideous. It’s giving Miss Havisham vibes.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 06/05/2024 10:36

Not my cup of tea at all tbh, but each to her own!

Totally agree - the tiered skirt is not great, if it was a long lace skirt it would be perfect. The rest is gorgeous.

CadyEastman · 06/05/2024 10:38

Headdress is beautiful but the bottom half looks as though it's been made from various lengths of net curtains and doesn't flatter her in the slightest.

EveryKneeShallBow · 06/05/2024 10:38

Definitely Miss Havisham. Just as well we don’t all have to wear what I like, though.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 06/05/2024 10:41

I can't say I like it or that it suits her (she would have looked amazing in something less modest), but at least it is interesting and unusual.

BlossomBlossomBlossom · 06/05/2024 10:42

I find it a strange choice for such a singularly beautiful woman. It’s almost as if she wanted to suppress everything familiar about her appearance apart from her hair. It even seems to disguise her wonderful posture.

Athough I like individuality in wedding gowns I just don’t see the attraction of this one.

But I’m sure she had a perfectly splendid day!

NonPlayerCharacter · 06/05/2024 10:43

I absolutely love CH and I think she is as talented as she is beautiful, but I really don't like that dress on her. It's overly fussy and just doesn't show off her incredible hourglass figure.

I think she'd have looked stunning in a simple, clean lines dress and then a floor length, statement veil with all the detail.

I was just thinking I'd look like one of those toilet roll covers in that. What's with the 1930s style veil? She's stunning and would like great in a sack. I'm not sure this works - the rara wedding dress is not something I'm keen on the look of.

Mercurial123 · 06/05/2024 10:47

Her hair looks nice....

EachandEveryone · 06/05/2024 10:48

This was her first one so I suppose shes gone the exact opposite

DreadPirateRobots · 06/05/2024 10:54

Yeeeeeeah it's awful. The top is beautiful, but the degree of corseting and compression clearly underway is unsettling and the detailing is so intense it's starting to cancel itself out. And then the skirt(s) is just graceless. I wouldn't have chosen the Juliet cap style for the veil myself ever, but it could have looked wonderful with a simpler skirt and a slight reduction in detailing. The veil is actively destroying the lines around her arms and obscuring the detail of the lace sleeves.

DreadPirateRobots · 06/05/2024 10:56

I can understand why she didn't want to replicate her first wedding dress, which was arguably a bit basic-bitch for someone as racked as her, but she could have had a very different style which worked a lot better.

Yuckyyuckyuckity · 06/05/2024 10:56

Her hair looks amazing. Everything else is shocking.

Liv999 · 06/05/2024 10:59

Top half not too bad, bottom half so bad!

Justcallmebebes · 06/05/2024 11:01

No, I don't like it. It's like the dress is wearing her

Josette77 · 06/05/2024 11:02

She's too gorgeous for that dress. It wears her instead of her wearing it imo.

She is a stunning woman but this dress does her no favours.

She looks happy though which is the main thing!

Jinx 😉

She looks like she’s run through a lace factory - it’s far too much.

But her hair is lovely and she looks very happy.
