2nd Time around/ Dress is to much?

Eh...................

STUFF THEM!!!!!!

pastel my arse! That was fine and appropriate in the 80s...... but you wear whatever the hell you want! You wanna wear an ivory dress then just go for it!

I am rolling my eyes at your relatives!

Do you have a pic of the dress? My dad remarried last year and his wife is late forties (47, 48 i think). It was her first wedding and her dress was ivory, beaded and embroidered (from memory, slightly hazy!) although it wasn't a full dress, more straight up and down IYKWIM. I don't think it particularly matters what age you are, as long as you feel comfortable wearing it.

You wear what you want.

I think years ago you were expected to wear a beige two piece on your second wedding but this is 2008 & times have definitly changed.

I expect to see pics now.?.

My sister wore the same dress to both her weddings ?

They were 10 years apart & skinny moo still managed to fit into her dress perfectly.

Wear what you want to wear, don't take any notice of others & don't get bullied into wearing something you will look back at your photos and regret

I'm 37 and getting married for the second time in ivory. TBH I did consider another colour but didn't feel bridal enough.

I say go for it! Pictures please!

Will try and load some and put on....give me a couple of mins?

This is it.........still to be altered....why do I suddenly ?feel naked putting them on here

Omg , you look bloody stunning & you have got to wear that dress , it's gorgeous.

Wow - gorgeous! You definitely MUST wear it. You look stunning!

Beautiful dress, you've no reason to be worried!! Wear it!!!!!

Thanks

I love it.........maybe I'm just getting paranoid......reading to many bridal mags me thinks......all the brides look 21 and freash faced☹️

It isn't usual for me to worry that much what others think.....worry what H2B will think........hope he doesn't expect me to walk in with a pale blue suit ?

Hell no don't wear that! Give it to me instead and can I have your stunning figure as well please! ?

You have no reason not to wear it. I thought from what you were saying it was going to be a princess dress with a million layers but I think it's very elegant and classy - just perfect whatever your age but I think it's a really good choice as it's still a proper wedding dress without being ott. Right so I'm going on a bit now but seriously don't have wobbles. Wear the dress and be proud.

[runs back to look at the pics again and be jealous]

Ladies.......now I'm all smiles?.

Think I just wanted the OOOOhs and AAAhs when I showed the BMs my dress and that didn't happen......but you lot just gave me them.

Thanks again?

Is it a gorgeous dress made even more gorgeous with your figure and I think all these people are probably just jealous that you can carry it off. You look much younger than you said as well.

Hi

Well I will be 40 when I get married and it will be my second time around to?

The way I see it is......It's our wedding and we will have the wedding we want and sod anyone who thinks I have to wear a cream two piece buttoned up to my neck !

It will be my fiances first wedding so why shouldn't he have the whole shabang if he wants it !?!

Your dress is absolutely stunning and you look fab so don't worry what anyone else thinks ?

?? Not sure about the young bit........you havn't seen any close up shots of my face ?

Have warned the lady taking the photos to edit them all with soft focus!?

They should do a bridal mag for older brides....maybe I wouldn't be so paranoid then.......Thanks again

I wanted to add my compliments and agree with everyone else you look stunning and the dress is gorgeous. My marriage will be my second and I am wearing a ivory dress complete with tiara and veil. First time around i only had a blouse and blue panne velvet skirt which a relative made for me, this time around I was determined to wear a dress. Last year my mil2b got married 2nd time around and she is in her late 40's and she wore a beautiful pale gold dress with ivory trim and she looked beautiful. I would definately go for it and don't listen to your relatives they don't know what they are on about!

Thanks T,

I was the same first time around........bought a very plain dress from C&A ( gawd they closed years ago!). I too was determined to wear a proper dress this time. Always regreted first time [:'(]....not the marriage I mean.....gave me two great sons❤️

OMG!!!, you look fantastic!, don't listen to anyone if thy tell you otheriwse, it's pure jealousy.

I hope I look as fantastic as you when I hit 40 ?

WOW!!! Your H2B will be absolutly thrilled when he sees you walk down the aisle in that dress!!! Amazing amazing amazing!!!!!!!

Who is anyone else to tell you what to wear or what is expected....to hell with everyone else! It is YOUR day and you should wear what it you want! You look so stunning it bought tears to my eyes! Your H2B will be the proudest man in the world!

Wow - you look fab!

What a gorgeous dress - you'd be mad not to wear it - you look stunning in it.

It's your wedding - why the heck should you not wear what you want - go on wear it and be proud and if anyone disapproves then tough titties!

That dress is stunning and you look beautiful in it.

Sod what anyone else says. Its your special day and you need to wear what you feel special in.

Regardless of what your H2B may be expecting im sure he will be thrilled to see you looking so lovely. he's a lucky man!

Beautiful dress I like it a lot, the beading looks exquisite.

I'm getting married on Saturday - bounce in celebration of that ? - and I'm wearing a blue dress. Not pastel baby blue but bright teal blue and when I told people I'd chosen my dress they'd say "Whats its like?" and I'd say "Blue". They'd always say (without fail!) "BLUE????!!!!". It was v funny and I think some people coming might think I've been joking all this time - can't wait to see their faces!

So IMO sod everyone else, wear what you want - I am and I'm so excited!!

Are you really 43?!?! Are you sure you haven't added up wrong and added on a few years?! You look stunning, tell them all where to go. If you change your mind and wear pastel I will personally come round and knock some sense into you!!! ?

Woooooowwww!! you look absolutely stunning, gorgeous dress, you've gotta wear it!! pastels indeed, i got married for the second time in June, i'm 39, and wore red, absolutely loved it, and so glad i stuck to my choice rather than what others thought i should have worn!!

That is the MOST stunning dress and you look fantastic. (who is it by...?)

Your H2B will be all smiles I'm sure and stuff the rest of 'em - take no notice ?

I got married in 04 for the 2nd time and i was 36 , i worried the same as you but on the day it didnt bother me i loved my dress , mine was bigger than your too , and btw you dont look 43 , there is 43 and there is 43 , you can so carry that gown off and i think you look fab .

sod the family members and what they think and say , you always get bitching at a wedding and tbh if you had gone for something non bridal they would prob be asking you why not , you cant win sometimes

No matter what age I was or number of weddings I had, I would definately wear that dress if I had your figure <jealous!>

Go for it, it looks amazing!!!

Hello, I just wanted to say that I'm 34 - and wish to god I looked as good as you in my dress! You look absolutely stunning! Anyone who advises you not to wear it is completely nuts!

Your fiance will be so proud of you!

I am a bridal shop owner and do loads of ivory dresses for brids in their 40s, and much older. Wear whatever you want - it's your day.

And the one you have picked looks stunning on you - very elegant

Oh, you look amazing in that dress. As the others said, you MUST wear it.

I'm 35 and getting hitched for the second time. I considered wearing a 'colour' but I'm so excited to be marrying my lovely boyfriend (and its his first time) that I wanted to look like a 'proper' bride. Its ivory, just a bit less 'poofy' that before.

I just had to post and say WOW - you are stunning, I hope I have a figure like you at 40. Your dress is gorgeous, what make is it?

Ignore your relatives, and wear your fab dress, your H2b is a lucky man to have found you
