Dress for registry office

Hello and welcome to hitched!

Congratulations!

I am also getting married in a registry office and then we fly straight of to Turkey, so a small event similar to yours! I have picked a lace 'fishtail' type dress full length, with a veil!

I was like you abit unsure however just because it is simple and low key doesn't mean you can't wear a proper wedding dress,, I would try a few on and wear whatever you feel comfortable in!

Good luck finding the dress! ☺️ X

We're getting married at the local town hall, and while I initially only wanted a tea-length semi-casual dress, I'm now going all out wedding gown!

Simple answer is, wear what you want The town hall will have seen it all before anyway from jeans and t-shirt to full on princess dress!

As the others have said wear what you are comfortable in. A friend of mine recently got married which was a very low key wedding at registry office and her dress came from Tesco, if you look on line they have a wedding section and i think her dress was around £40-£50.

Hi

Im getting married in the local registry office too, and a small gathering in the local pub just like you. It is my partners first wedding, my second, but he wants me to look like a bride so ive got a full length straight lace gown, no bling, but nevertheless beautiful. I have decided against a veil. Ive also got misgivings about looking a bit out of place or over done. I had thought I wanted a knee length 50s tea style dress but having tried one on it just didn't feel right on me. Have the dress you feel the most comfortable in, you will look stunning regardless of the venue, its your special day!

Wear whatever you want, it's your day! Take a look at Debenhams, bhs and monsoon for high street wedding dresses or bridesmaid style dresses, or think about getting a bridesmaid dress from a wedding boutique, they come in all the colours under the sun and are a lot more affordable. But if you want to wear jeans and t shirt do it, and if you want a full lace bridal gown do that!

Wow what a friendly site! Thanks so much for the replies, it's much appreciated!

I'm actually completely in love with this dress

I have a few months and pounds to lose first though!

Thanks again x

Thanks again x

That dress is lovely!

I think all above have given the best advice - it's your day so wear whatever you'll feel comfortable in. Definitely don't worry about looking out of place afterwards. For the record though, I don't think the dress you linked would look that out of place anyway

Ditto all the above and the dress is gorgeous and very very appropriate for any wedding but fits perfectly with what you've described. Enjoy x

Ooh, yeah, that dress would be perfect! Keep an eye on it, if you're planning to wait a few months you might be able to get some money off too

LOVE the dress! With beautiful hair and make up you'll look stunning! Lends itself well to a 50s theme, when people spent less money on weddings but still had a fabulous time. I'm picturing quirky fun loved up photos as I write this now...

Thanks Christopher, shame you aren't in the north east!! I am going for sort of 50s as I love lindybop dresses/the makeup etc. :-)

Yay! another north east bride!
