Any alternative brides out there?

I'm definitely not an alternative bride would say say that I've got more of a quirky style than some. I didn't want a run of the mill wedding outfit, but at the same time did want something 'bridal' looking. After all, this is my one and only chance to wear the big white dress!

I've built in my quirk with my accessories rather that the dress itself - although the dress is quite unusual as the lace is very unique and non-traditional. Also, rather than a veil I've opted for a cape-veil and my shoes aren't the typical satin court shoe either.

Maybe you could do something like that and build your 'alternative' into the accessories? You could possibly have a leather jacket over your dress and some Dr Martens? I'm not sure if thats something you'd consider but I'm a strong believer that you can change an entire look through some key accessories.

I just came across this place at the weekend

Some of their dresses are STUNNING and make me wish I hadn't already got my dress, but it seems like you basically tell them what you want and they design it for you fully customised.

Hi!!! i am an alternative type bride and i have been finding the best info on Instagram! you definitely need to follow: the couture company, rocknrollbride, EWE and lovemydress for a start!

we're actually going to a wedding fair in birmingham called the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza and i think it will likely give you some great ideas and vendors etc so you should try and come along if you can, even if you don't want to go with any of the ideas, you might well meet some people who can point you in the right direction :-)

Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I'm currently googling/instagraming the companies youve all mentioned.

I like the idea of incorporating my "unique" style with accessories!! Leather jacket and doc marten boots are 100% me. Im loving the cape instead of veil too very different ?
