Keeping it low key

Hi - I am getting married in November for the 2nd time around. We are having a small (family only) registry office wedding on the Thursday followed by a party for all friends and family on the Friday. Keeping it low key with Buffet and Disco only, no table plans etc and very few speeches just toasts.

My problem is hitting the right level with decorations, I want to make it look like a wedding without going over the top.

Also having trouble finding a dress. What something special but not the traditional white wedding dress.

Ideas Welcome.

    Hi, its second time for both of us, and we are not traditional people. I am having a black and red handfasting dress from Ebay. We are having minimal decorations, we have 7 black candelabras, black and red tablecloths, and red uplighters for the room, that's pretty much it, we're not having flowers or centrepieces etc. Keeping it simple!

    If you are having a low key wedding why don't you look at high street bridal dresses? Monsoon and Phase Eight do some gorgeous dresses but they are not as big as a normal dress and are a bit more simple but still stunning if you know what I mean? x

    I'm not having a wedding dress, so I've just been searching for white/ivory/cream dresses on all the usual fashion sites. ASOS have a few pretty dresses and Modcloth in the US, depending on what style you want. I also found this dress from House of Fraser, it isn't really me but I tried it on and it is beautiful:
