Coloured wedding dresses

Hi all,

Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions of where I might be able to find blue wedding dresses? Or if anyone has had a wedding dress that is slightly out of the ordinary - where did you find it?

Thanks

I found my dream dress in an upmarket high street store. Cost £150. Not a wedding dress, not a wedding dress price!

Is this too plain? It’s beautiful, I wish I was tall😫

Love this but quite a pale blue. Is there a particular shade you have in mind?

Oooh @TracyBeakerSoYeah that red one! The style of that red one is actually stunning!

I like that slinky, 30s film star style - I don’t mind a bit of sparkle and beads and if it has a puddley train, we are onto a winner!

Sleeves wise, I am open to suggestions but I would preferably like something that covers the tops of my arms keratosis pilaris joy! but am open to ideas on how they should be.

I’m really grateful to everyone for their help and ideas. As a jeans and a t shirt girl I find it very overwhelming and the only thing I knew I wanted was a blue dress - like my grandmothers wedding dress Xmas Smile

@Sexnotgender ideal colour would be a cornflower, but as long as it’s blue, I’m willing to compromise! I am a stereotypical Celt with very pale skin and red hair - blues and greens make me glow whereas reds and pinks make me look like I’ve been at the brandy Blush

@TommyShelby - this? with a stole/bolero/jacket of some sort?

This is beautiful and would look amazing with Celtic colouring.

Could you get one made?

TommyShelby · 17/12/2020 15:50

Some great suggestions there @Sexnotgender - that first one is stunning!

@besom getting one made is definitely an option - I’m trying to work out the elements I like first before I bombard a designer 😂

I spied this one on Instagram after reading your post. Not sure it helps.

I didn't have a traditional dress, I had a jumpsuit from a designer store but if I was to get married again I would love a needle and thread dress

Good luck with your search. Hope you find the dress of your dreams

Of the two you’ve linked there that second one is deffo the best, I love that long cuff on the sleeve and the back. The colour of both of them is lovely too
