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

She looks stunning in this the evening before...

If she likes it then that's fair enough. I think it's hideous. The headdress looks like it's been stolen from the back of her grans armchair.

DramaLlamaBangBang · 06/05/2024 11:05

I don't like it either. There is ' modest' and there's ' Amish bride'. Too much material, an 80's ra ra skirt. Don't like it at all, but she does I presume.

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.

Seriously? It's dreadful!

Yeah, see, that is exuberant and striking without being the Dress That Ate A Lacesmith's.

I don't actually think there's any artistry in that wedding dress (other than the skills of the lace workers, obvs). It's not flamboyant or fantastical or deliberately over the top, it's just... An overexcited toddler who's been let loose in the fabric scraps bin.

Her first wedding dress is lovely, not keen on the second one

This bloody thread has made me want to go and watch Great Expectations! GrinGrin

UnpickThePockets · 06/05/2024 11:15

The sleeves are the only thing I like about her entire wedding outfit / styling. Her hair looks amazing too but the rest of the dress and veil are not my taste at all.

lapochette · 06/05/2024 11:16

I think it would have looked better with a straight bottom half rather than 3 tiers which I don't like at all. However the main thing is that Christina loved it and that's all that matters.

lapochette · 06/05/2024 11:19

I don't like the dress from the evening before either. It looks like wallpaper my Grandma used to have in the 70s. Christina looks beautiful but I think her taste in clothes is very different to mine.

NoSnowdrop · 06/05/2024 11:19

Utterly horrific. That tiered skirt is ghastly.

Timeless classic it ain’t.

MrsLeonFarrell · 06/05/2024 11:21

Love the 20s veil but, like others, I don't think the tiered skirt works with it. It isn't 20s and it is very unflattering to her figure. Without the tiers the dress would be lovely.

I do find it odd when women in their 50s, on second marriages, try to look coy and virginal on their wedding day. That second photo with the coy looking away from the camera. I find it so weird

That dress in the day before though 👌

Cantonet · 06/05/2024 11:30

I think it's beautiful 😂
In the context of modernity perhaps not.

EachandEveryone · 06/05/2024 10:48

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

Her bridesmaids are fabulous!

ClipClopperDontStopper · 06/05/2024 13:02

Such a high neckline is a mistake on someone with huge boobs. It just gives this great big expanse of lace. Which can look in my opinion...look away if you're offended by the word frumpy...frumpy.

The blue dress is stunning.

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.

Same. The whole top half, including the veil and her hair, are perfect for the gothic vibe of New Orleans. A simple silk skirt, or a straight lace one, would have complemented the top much better.

But she looks happy in it, and that's what matters.

SherrieElmer · 06/05/2024 13:10

What an eyesore. Awful dress!!!

BigSkies2022 · 06/05/2024 13:23

not nice. Miss Havisham/toilet roll holder/everything others have said. But in the first wedding photo no-one looks nice. Still, she loved it, and that's what matters, and hope this one works out well.

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.

I thought the same if I'm honest

She is a beautiful woman, this isn't the dress I'd have picked were I her but if it makes her feel good I guess that's all that matters

RedRobyn2021 · 06/05/2024 13:41

Just had a look on her instagram because I follow her and she looks so happy ♥️

Everleigh13 · 06/05/2024 13:55

I think she looks lovely.

EachandEveryone · 06/05/2024 14:00

Im just shocked that shes best friends with Shirlie Manson who offciated. How did that even come about? Are Garbage still around?

Good grief. It is awful. Sorry but I really dislike the dress. It does nothing for her.
