Suggestions for a non traditional wedding dress for curvy bride

Hey guys,
Getting married soon and am really struggling to find a dress. I don't want a traditional white puffy dress but it needs to be something super fabulous and glam and hopefully make me look like a million dollards ;) I am very curvy (and not particularly tall) and frankly don't even know where to start!
Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

I'm 5'4, hourglass and a size 20 and mermaid dresses looked the best on me. I felt frumpy and terrible in anything big and fluffy, but I adored my dress. I walked into the first store and described what I wanted, the woman wasn't convinced and said she would bring me some options. Everything was A-line or princess and horrendous. Tried my choice on first and fell in love. Tried hers on, hated them all. If we ever do a renewal I will choose a similar shape dress in a bright colour, probably jewel colours. Gold would look stunning though, it's weddingy enough without being so bold that it won't look bridal, which for me was important. If you can't stop thinking about it, that probably tells you all you need to know.

I am about 5'8, love rich colours but absolutely didn't want traditional styles. In the end I ordered a gorgeous dress from a designer called Natayer in America who includes a plus size range in her collection. Sadly I've put back the weight I lost - I would love to wear it again!

The gold dress is glorious! Did you get it?
A bouquet of white flowers would make it as weddingy as you want.
