We are having a very small wedding the day before Halloween, just us, two friends and my children from previous marriage. It is in a fancy hotel, and we have an excellent photographer booked so would like to look my best!
I am 32, size 16-18, pale skin and dyed black waist length hair, visible tattoos. I had fallen in love with a very simple (and cheap) dress from coast,photo attached, however the 16 is a bit too small and the bigger size is out of stock! I've looked on ebay and vinted for the same one but no luck!
I was going for a simple vampy glam vibe, was planning dark eyeliner and dark red lips to go with the coast dress. I don't mind if the dress isn't a wedding dress, nor does it have to be white. I would prefer to have arms covered but not strictly necessary. I'd consider a tea length dress! Budget not really an issue but would prefer to be on the lower side as would like more money to spend on holiday afterwards 🙂

Have a look at Monsoon. I wore one of their bridesmaid dresses as my wedding dress; we had a small ceremony like you.
