Future husband - if you are reading, STOP NOW!
Anyhoo, as you may or may not know, I'm getting married in September, and I know there are other ladies here with impending nuptials, and also a lot without who just like to look at weddingy things, so I thought it might be fun to have a thread about wedding dresses. Cause at the moment I have no chuffing clue what I'm doing!
My biggest problem at the moment is that 99.9% of dresses are strapless, and I don't really want strapless, cause I'll be hitching it up and feeling all uncomfortable all day, and that's the last thing I want. But all the dresses with straps tend to be really frumpy, and I don't want that either! And then all the ones that are strapped and lovely are about £3000! Argh!
Anyhoo, post away ideas for your dresses or for mine. Include pictures! :hyper:

Im not even thinking about a dress for me til I've lost weight
Although Im not mad keen on the back.
Damn, I wanted to use this picture so badly
Do you know what sort of colour you're going for? I've always wanted a wedding dress with colour.
My mum is taking me to look at wedding dresses in Milton Keynes on Thursday, not that we're buying one as I'm not getting married until next summer. I'm considering hiring one as well; I'm not fussed about keeping it really.
that is so pretty!
kaff what about a kinda off the shoulder one..would that work?
That's the one I like at the moment but I don't know if it would suit me as it looks a bit floaty.
I also don't want a strapless dress as it would fall down/me pop out and I'd have too much of a shoulder/arm expanse which would look better broken up with straps. PLUS there is no way I could not wear a bra!
I don't have much of a belly. What do you reckon about the same idea but with exposed bum cheeks instead? And straps. Gotta have straps.
I really want it to be ivory with a smidge of olivey green. Maybe a green sash, or a green underlayer or something.
Anyway, that was my roundabout way of saying you could get straps added to a dress.. your own twist on it!
Edit: Found a piccie! http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=grace&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=8&style=J857
Possibly, although probably not first choice. I've seen ones I love that either have teeny cap sleeves, or halternecks, they're just mucho expensivo
Absolutely, get the groom to do the same, it'll give the guests something additional to look at during the service, and puts a new edge on the phrase, 'honeymoon'
Sounds lovely :yes:
Maybe I could have 'baby got back' played as i walk down the aisle?

that means: she wears them, not me!
Eta; I also adore this one called Damsel
I love the disney 1s, especially the cinderella 1s
how much would you be willing to pay?
you could buy a dress from over seas and then (as you have said you can sew) take it in if its not perfect. because of the high exchange rate of england you could probably get a really good deal for a designer dress, thats only if you would be willing to buy a dress without seeing it
for example there is a designer i know of called jane yeh who is super expencive for us but could be 1000pounds for you (i know thats still expencive but X3 and thats how much it is for us)
I may have to get married again / hold a 50's style party just to have an exuse to buy myself one as they are so expensive - but also something i recon you could get copied easily.
that one is lovely, who made it?
