Got months away not even booked anywhere but no It will be a registry office with 12 guest and keep looking at alternative wedding dress ideas? Can you make a plain white dress like this iLover Stylish 40s 50s 60s Rockabilly off shoulder Vintage Cocktail Swing Dress www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01G5CUBYG/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_fTK1xb937CW6F with maybe adding a sparkling belt also a peticoat look like a bride?

Love the second one, with a veil or headband, cracking pair of heels and a bunch of flowers. I'm also a lover of 50's style tea dresses x

ChipInTheSugar · 12/09/2016 07:57

Definitely! I think that would look amazing.

What about one of these?

The second one is beautiful! Definitely bridal- just, as you say massive underskirt and pretty jewellery- you'll look stunning Smile

Love either one of them. If you had a little 50s style veil and some white gloves or something like that.

You could also run some pretty beading, embroider work around the neck line or hem.

I think the Luouse is the best of the ones you;ve linked on here. It;s a bit more detailed so looks bridal but it isn;t too bridal

chocoholic89 · 14/09/2016 07:40

Oh thank you! I love that one too.

I wouldn't wear gloves...you risk looking Minnie Mouse-ish. Get some tattoo cover makeup. It's amazing these days.

chocoholic89 · 14/09/2016 11:36

Haha didt think of that!

Oh but I see you said lace gloves...that's slightly different...still risky though! A lot depends on your arms really. I don't see why you don't show off your tattoo though....I don't have any but love the look of a nice tattoo.
