Could I wear this as a wedding dress?

Or is this a big no no? I've got two weeks to go and still haven't chosen anything. Only a small ceremony with reception after.

It's your wedding - wear what makes you happy.

Why would it be a "no no" ?

Tay17 · 18/11/2021 20:59

I think it’s beautiful!

Roseandgeranium · 18/11/2021 20:59

If you like it you can wear it, I’d say. I guess my only concern if I were you would be if I knew my new spouse was expecting something very traditional and would be disappointed if I went with a more modern look. But if you think he or she would be on board with whatever you choose or if you’ve discussed the general wedding style as non-traditional then go for it. Maybe just order two or three different options and see which you like best so you’re sure?

You can wear anything as a wedding dress, if your the bride and it's your wedding!
If your asking is it too revealing I don't think so, although you might be cold in December if your in the Northern Hemisphere?
It's a nice dress, best wishes on your wedding Flowers

I think it's perfect for a small ceremony dress.

I hope you have a lovely day op.

urbanbuddha · 18/11/2021 21:01

Definitely. It's lovely. A really happy dress.

notsosensitive · 18/11/2021 21:03

I wasn't sure if it was too short, but it's the first dress I've really liked. I don't really like all the long flowy dresses I've sent so many back now. I may just try this one!

Thanks everyone

Fab 😀 Go for it

BrieAndChilli · 18/11/2021 21:05

Unless you are very tall it’s likely the dress won’t be as short on you as it is on the model. Most models are tall so have more ‘leg’

wertheppl · 18/11/2021 21:14

I think it's lovely but cld be too short if ur tall or maybe even average.

SleafordSods · 19/11/2021 08:07

Lovely, my only worry would be if you're cold Smile

Kite22 · 19/11/2021 22:46

As others have said, you can wear whatever you want. It is your wedding after all.
It does look rather short in the picture, so not really very traditional.
If I'm honest, I don't like it as a wedding dress, but then, I had my turn at choosing my dress and you almost certainly wouldn't like what I chose to wear on my special day.
I think the fact you are asking 'the internet' for approval though, perhaps show that you have doubts too ?

Holothane · 19/11/2021 23:02

I love it you wear and be happy.

BeaucoupFish · 19/11/2021 23:04

That is so pretty

Sidehustle99 · 19/11/2021 23:57

It's lovely

Spiceup · 19/11/2021 23:59

Yes!

That's one of the best non wedding dress wedding dresses I've ever seen.

Robloxdiamonds · 20/11/2021 00:00

You can get married in a bin bag if you want. Of course its fine.

Justmuddlingalong · 20/11/2021 00:02

It's beautiful. But try it on and raise your arms as if hugging your new spouse during your first dance. If it doesn't show your knickers then I think you're good to go. Congratulations and have a wonderful day. 👰

HeddaGarbled · 20/11/2021 00:07

I love it. I’m assuming you’re young and have great legs and aren’t getting married in a church nor have very traditional parents-in-law-to-be?

Weatherwax13 · 20/11/2021 00:07

My mother was married in a white (fur trimmed!) mini dress in 1970. She looked amazing. Wear whatever makes you feel special. Congratulations Flowers

WorraLiberty · 20/11/2021 00:08

I think it's beautiful and perfect for a small ceremony/reception.

Keladrythesaviour · 20/11/2021 00:09

My mom couldn't find a dress she liked so wore her *going away" two piece suit to be married in as she liked it.
Wear whatever makes you comfortable and you don't think you'll look back on photos on ten years time and thing what on earth was I thinking!

Backstreetsbackalrightdadada · 20/11/2021 00:48

Buy it! (If ordering online you can always return it anyway)

Tbh my first thought was make sure a friend take a spare coat for you in case the weather is chilly :) you’ll have a fab time!! It’s v cool to wear a nice mini wedding dress, seen some lovely examples recently and this one is sweet :)

MaryStuart · 20/11/2021 00:55

Yes, most definitely. It’s a fab dress.

gofg · 20/11/2021 01:19

You can wear whatever you want to OP, it's your wedding day after all. I'm sure you will look lovely in that dress, and all the best for your day.
