I need a wedding dress, something a little different please,

[SnoopDog]

dp and i are to marry in sept next year on a beach in scotland,

i never thought i would marry,

i never thought i would be wedding dress shopping,

i have been twice and i have had a belly full of crap frills,

i need a statement dress,

beautiful, different, bold,

under £500 would be good,

size 12,

i have considered black/navy/green

ideas please wise style icons of MN,

i think i like this kind of style so far

I went to Harvey Nicks, got a Dries van Noten charcoal velvet jacket with a huge collar and a shot silk orange full length skirt... and have worn both since so understand your urge to be different. (haven't seen anything of late though!)

Congratulations SnoopDog, why not just go for all three colours and really get into the scottish theme..I'm loving this one for you..
Tartan gown

i did green.inspired by this one

go to liberty - they have wonderful, glamourous stuff

bundle - i flirted with a dries van noten dress for my wedding, but ended up taking it back, sort of wish i hadn't

monsoon?

i am not sure about that dress on me,

i am not scottish,

i like this in the niche collection, 6 along, peacock seattle, but it is too expensive, and possibally too, well, you know, much

dragon, i tried something simliar today,

i liked it,

my mum and sis loved it,

it is not the 'one' though

it's beautiful. good taste.

bundle,

very similar to what i am thinking of having made for me

i tried this today, and for a 'traditional' dress i liked it

traditional dresses look great in black and white pics. my green dress looked drab in black and white pics but good in colour.

I realy like the black Ravenna and the peacock seattle is a lovely colour.

the monsoon style is gorgeous and really good value, and you could really splash out on an amazing shrug/jacket or even a handmade shawl.

oh my, dragon,

the wedding dress lady today mentioned madam butterfly when i said i liked suzanne neville

the madam butterfly is beautiful. more green than is showing in those pics.
i tried it on after a day of boring white dresses and loved it.

Hey snoop, congrats and all.

How tall are you? only I think the maxi style works best if taller imo.

simple and green

simple and black

heh, not that you're going for simple! I will shuddup

slur,

too green,

too black,

lol,

i am 5, 9,

pale, washed out interesting skin,

red hair, loads of natural curls,

shoulder length at the moment,

I had a Suzanne Neville dress - she makes such amazing gowns and that peacock colour is just stunning.

i saw a beautiful one in my dressmakers shop last week. (i popped in to say hello)
it was gold(ish) with dusky pink embroidery and lovely detail but no sparkles.
would look great with your hair and skin.

what do you all think about a black dress,

with ivory sash,

sounds good.
presumably you wouldn't wear the sash a la miss great britain.

www.net-a-porter.com/product/34924 might be a bit quirkie

lol,

i was thinking sash around waist and bridesmaids wear the opposite

so them in ivory with black sash
