Dress for an abroad wedding!

I got married in Ibiza in June and I wore a jenny Packham dress. I chose cascade, but I very nearly went with Saskia. I wasn't too hot, a lot of of JP dresses are fairly lightweight so perfect for an abroad wedding.

See my wedding report if you want to look at a picture- the link is on my signature.

Any excuse!

I loved my dress - it hung relatively straight when I stood still, billowed out into a ballgown shape when walking, and was light enough to hitch up to paddle. I did have 2 layers of netting and 1 layer of chiffon taken out of the dress, plus the train removed and detachable cap sleeves added. I did look at the slinkier chiffon dresses like the Maggie Sottero ones, but they just didn't make me feel bridal enough.

This is mine,

but without the part that goes around my shoulders. i am getting married in santorini in may 2013 xx xx

Its more about what material is in your dress that you need to think about. I bought a dress from a Chinese supplier & it was horrendous. Just trying it on, my legs were literally dripping in sweat. It was polyester, didnt breath at all & I threw it out.

I ended up buying a genuine Maggie Sottero which was fantastic. It was full length with train, corset back & we got married in Sydney. No sweat at al & dont remember ever feeling hot.

Thanks girls, lovely dress shots, kayel I can't see yours

Haven't started shopping yet but am worried about budget as have NO idea and imagine it's going to cost me the earth.

out of interest in which ball park did your wedding dress costs fall?

Would love a lace dress but think it could be quite heavy so might have to go for something a bit lighter, chiffony maybe? Just not sure as living in Italy and when I go back for my dress shopping will have to try and factor out the cold english winters!!!!

Love the flashes, please keep 'em coming!!!

This is gorgeous! Who designed it?

Ohhh no its sophia tolli y11204, it was 1,400. But you can beautiful for waay cheaper if you dont wanna pay loads xx

Mine was Blue by Enzoani, style name Baltimore. Cost £1150 plus £200 alterations, but as I said, the simpler single layer chiffon dresses just didn't feel bridal enough and you can't swish about in them!
