My *blue* wedding dress! *My first flash :D*

Tizzie, 17 of May of 2012 at 12:16 Posted on Planning 0 21

I'm not traditional but I really thought I'd get married in white. I went shopping with my mum and we had a look at dresses (mostly for her) and I tried on a couple, I didn't want anything too bride-y as we're getting married in a RO and then a wee meal in a small restaurant before our party at night. She picked out a blue one and my first thought was yuck! But she has an eye for things that look nice on so I went and tried it. It was lovely just not very bridal. I tried a wedding dress on and it was nice but I felt even LESS like a bride, so about 50 dresses later, we went back to John Lewis, I put it on and I got a nervous butterfly feeling and bought it!!

I keep waiting for me to think... oh god, I cant get married in blue, but i just keep wanting to try it on!! The bonus is that it was only £99! I tried on some dresses that were £250-£300 that felt lower quality than this one!


Cannot get this round the right way, sorry!!

    Yep, just worked out how to get the photo on the computer! It doesn't even need alterations, its got a corset bit at the back which means it wont fall down!! The one reason I said I would never get a strapless dress!

    Not having any, but OH kilt has dark purples and greens so for things like our cake, table covers for our party its going to be dark purple and dark blue. Although I have to tell him just purple and hope he doesn't notice the blue as I haven't told him the colour of my dress!

    The blue is great, especially if you're doing the old, new, borrowed, blue!

    I think it's a lovely dress and it's nice to see someone having a different wedding than the traditional stuff!

    Good on you, it looks lovely Smiley smile x

    yeah I was worried about that too as only have small boobs & every strapless dress I've had I've been hitching it up the whole time I've got it on! But my wedding dress is corsetted and I don't even need to wear a bra with it!! ?

    You don't need to tell him its the colour of your dress, just tell him you'd like another colour along side the purple and blue is what you think works best.

    Look forward to seeing the rest of your plans unfold over the next few weeks ?

    As the rhyme goes, "marry in blue, your love will always be true". I think your dress is lovely ?

    It feels it too, the bit I'm most self conscious about on my whole body is just below my chest and above my stomach, it kind of sticks out i think it just looks odd as I'm quite slim. But this dresses corset bit pulls it right in there and fits so perfectly. I thought i wanted a straight column dress, i tried one on and looked six months pregnant. Not a good wedding day look!!
