Help me find a silver dress!

Hi,
I'm having an Autumn wedding in 2023. The ceremony is at 5pm and we're having a big celebratory dinner and then dancing. I envisage good lighting, candles and crystals, etc. and a great DJ.
My daughter will be a bridesmaid and she wants to wear a shade of blue.
Anyway, I'm looking for a dress for me, that's glimmering, silvery, elegant, not too fitted on the bottom half. No train, no veil.
I've found a few images online, but struggling to find a uk stockist for anything I've seen.
I don't mind buying an evening dress or prom dress.
Please help! Here are some I quite like...

@tuliptimeishere thank you for looking, they're all nice but probably not 'wow' enough.

Not sure if this one would be wow enough?

Soproudoflionesses · 08/08/2022 00:20

I absolutely love the first one!!

This is a stunning wedding dress by Suzanne Neville. It's a beautiful silver shimmer material. I've seen it in real and it's wonderful.

I think this one might be wow enough but cost more than our wedding Grin

What's the budget? If you really wanting one like the images you posted your looking 2-3k ++

PritiPatelsMaker · 10/08/2022 17:55

Have you found one yet @Misunderstoodagain?

extrapineappleonmypizza · 11/08/2022 11:33

@Misunderstoodagain 2-3k is fine. Same price as you'd pay for a traditional white/ivory dress, I suppose?
I'm going to start properly looking next month/ October, with a view to having put an order in by December/January.

Thank you @GetOffTheRoof @ForTheLoveOfSleep and @HippyChickMama.
I've searched and searched and haven't come across any of these sites before.

It might be worth looking at normal dress that come in other colours, some designers will make that style of dress in the silver fabric.
I found a good link which I've lost with a list of designers. I'll try find it now. It had allure bridals and morilee as well that do them sort of styles.

Lazaro another good.designer to look for.

Is Thistoo princessy? It looks less hooped outwards in the photos. I assume you'd need to check with the maker first.

Also I think what you might need to search for is a silver ballgown - or if you want more skirts a silver princess ballgown.

Probably more likely to meet with success than searching specifically for wedding dresses I think?
