Short wedding dress?

[SugaredSweet]

I'm getting married next year. It's a summer (hopefully!) wedding and is set in a woodland. The guests including us will be no more than 20 with a casual dinner after.

I have a son who will be 6 and is a fight risk (ASC) - I need to be able to move. I don't want to spend crazy money on a wedding dress. I don't want a big floofy dress. So I was thinking something more non traditional, but traditional enough that it will be bridal. Would you ever consider a short dress? I'm just not sure I could pull it off... I'm 5'8 and I'll hopefully be a size 12. Currently a large 14. I'll be 38 if that changes anything.

Such a beautiful dress OP! I'm glad you found one bespoke to you, I am sure you will look & feel amazing wearing in it on your special day. I wore my hair in my normal style (long & loose) with a dainty silver hair band with silver flowers on it. I think flower clips also look lovely in hair too.

My daughter is very good at creating waves in her straight hair using straighteners which looks very pretty & feminine. I'm sure other posters will have some great ideas you can try out.
Enjoy your special day x

Awww, that’s lovely. Perfect for a woodlands wedding. You’ll look georgous.

The camera adds about £10 to people
In my honest opinion and I know this is gonna sound mean but these short knee length 50 style dresses make you look like a big pudding if you’re over a size 10
The so much more flattering outfits out there

Sorry, too late to the thread that’s gorgeous

I had a short white shift dress which I loved! We had a ceilidh so it was perfect.

Sessùn do the ultimate Boho beach-forest wedding dresses. Sézane have similar but are more expensive.

Oh sorry, I've just seen your bought one. If embrace the slightly fairy aspect and get some sparkly butterfly hair clips

I wish I could get £10 from my camera every time I take a photo!

(Yes, you do sound mean.)

That made me laugh too.
