I am looking at this dress for my wedding dress in Gibraltar next year. I am 5' 3" and 56 yo. How can I elevate it to more weddingy. I'd like maybe to wear a hat (no fascinator nor netting over the face as this will annoy me.

Completely agree - your dress is beautiful, let it shine ! Less is more I think.

Congratulations on your phenomenal weight loss , and wishing you all the very best for your wedding .

Lovely dress. I think in the photo the bag, loose casual hair and holiday type accessories dress it down. Remove the bag, switching to simple elegant jewellery and shoes and you will look perfect.

Yes I think the dress by itself is easily bridal, it’s the bag/shoes/chunky gold cuff that make it less so in the pictures. So yes, lovely shoes without black pattern, maybe a pearl necklace? Simpler less costumey jewellery and you’re done :) congratulations!

Maybe a bridal style bag from somewhere like Accessorize?

I had fresh white flowers in my hair, maybe that's an option?

Lovely dress.

Hi, do you know where you are getting married? I can help with comments in terms of accessibility and how much you’ll need to walk (as this would affect my shoe choice).

The dress is gorgeous! Definitely no hat.

That is a beautiful dress!

Lovely idea, thank you.

I’ve fallen in love

It is gorgeous! Fabulous choice.

Can never have too many flowers.

I say a bridal crown to match the flowers would be gorgeous. Boskey, like Midsommar, but less horror 😁. Imagine, at the top table your bouquet is out of sight, but everyone who looks at you sees you wearing a crown of flowers? Beautiful!

While I think the bag is lovely, it looks very white in comparison to your dress. The elements of the dress are softer and more flowy, I think too. You’d have to see them together in real life.

What do you think of this?

Beautiful dress! Personally, I want to see the bride's face at a wedding and share the joy, so would avoid a hat (lovely as many of the suggestions are)

I wouldn't rule out what a good hairdresser could do to help make hair look thicker and fuller and enhance what you have if it is somwthing that might bother you - there are so many options like extensions or toppers that could help give you more confidence if you feel you need it.

Things in this area have come a long way in the last decade or so, and it can be done in a subtle way.

My friend had a fresh rose and a sprinkling of pearl hair pins, she looked amazing.
