2nd marriage (to same bloke)

Just going to registry office but would like some nice photos, DP will be in shirt and tie but not like a full trad wedding suit.

Size 12. 40yo.

Don't want white, am a bit alternative, so maybe black? But I'm not sure!

Budget of around £200

Childhood sweethearts, after many years thought the grass was greener, it wasn't. Never really stopped seeing each other. Back together a few years, want to remarry.

Ah that's lovely op. I think we like different things so there's probably little point in my posting more suggestions, but I'll keep following in case there's any more story....

Ah it's quite hard to find something gatsby glam but not sequinned... does it have to be black and / or maxi length? Theres some lovely 1920s gowns on Babeyond, I really liked this one but it's not full length if that would bother you.

Failing that, how do you feel about something a bit different? I feel like this De La Vali has the 1920's glam silhouette and is quite art deco, but with a modern twist and quite an out there print. A bit overbudget(!) but is gorgeous and striking.

Reiss has some lovely looking dresses that are not wacky or bridesmaidy and might work well

My cousin's wedding dress was a traditional white dress but with black tulle over the top. It looked beautiful.

FarmRio has some beautiful dresses with Edwardian and 30s lines at the moment:

I lusted after this one when it first appeared, though have no occasion to wear it, and sadly it seems to be sold out now, as it would make a fabulous wedding dress:
