Small wedding, big dress(es). Odd?

Hi,

So my gf and I have been engaged for a couple of years now and recently decided that we really want to crack on and actually set a date!

We've both agreed that we want a small wedding, possibly just a few close family members, but we also both want the 'big' dress.

By big, I don't necessarily mean in size, but in style. Although I wouldn't rule out a big, ball gown dress having said that. I'm particularly drawn to the fit and flare, with some lace.

We're both very feminine, but have different styles, so we should compliment each other. Not that that's really an issue.

Anyway, the main point, or question is, is it a bit...out of place to wear a big, 'im here!!' dress if you're having an intimate, simple (but elegant) wedding?

Thoughts please Smile

It's your wedding day so you should absolutely wear the dress you want!

The number of guests does not dictate the style or cost of the dress IMO

Your wedding is your day!! If you cannot wear something totally wow, when can you.

Congrats Flowers to you both Flowers

We are getting married next week, followed by a meal in a nice pub. A total of 12 of us and I am having a proper frock as my girls call it.

Your wedding, your day, wear what makes you feel incredible xx
