Non traditional wedding dress?

10 replies

My partner and I are due to marry in May. Very small ceremony in a registry office (just the two of us and witnesses) followed by a casual outdoor reception at my father's house.

I'm not keen on wearing a traditional white wedding dress to walk down the (short) aisle in. I've been looking for midi length dresses and quite like the idea of a grey/blush dress with beading or embroidery. Other than that I haven't seen much I like!

My question is does anyone know of any dresses/ designers which are gorgeous and pretty but not obviously 'wedding-y'? I want to feel amazing on my wedding day but I'm stuck with what to wear...

I have dark hair and am a size 12. Will be 31 on the day! I don't really a budget in mind, I'll be happy to pay for an expensive dress if I love it.

Thanks!

Try Needle and Thread.

I saw a gorgeous cocktail dress with loads of detailed beading. I always thought I'd wear a white wedding dress, but after seeing this dress I would actually wear it on my wedding day.

Get something made for you? If you know what shape/style suits you it's worth speaking to a dressmaker.
