I'm worried about my wedding dress, not sure if I like it anymore - getting married abroad (sept 2011) and think it may be a bit too much, maybe I should've gone for something a bit simpler?

I'm worried about my wedding dress, not sure if I like it anymore - getting married abroad (sept 2011) and think it may be a bit too much, maybe I should've gone for something a bit simpler? It's a maggie sottero dress and I love it but not sure about it now as the wedding party has shrunk and may be a bit OTT iykwim?

What kind of dresses have you got? Would love to see any pics

Sarah xx

    Hey SeptemberBride2011

    I wouldn't worry at all. My dress is huge! We're getting married abroad and at the minute only have 17 guests....

    Just remember the feeling u had when u had ur dress on..... HTH!!! xxx

    (just looked through the gorgeous dresses on here, kinda wishing I'd gone for the vintage shorter ones now....!) ?

    Aw, thanks Nicola. It's by Essence of Australia - I haven't seen many of their dresses on here. The straps are detachable but I really like them so will be keeping them on.

    This is mine - but i am getting the bottom all blinged up by the dress maker in the shop - just some subtle sparkles so it catched the light and looks all twinkly!

    there are so many beautiful dresses!!

    We have just 10 adults 7 children / guests going so far, possibly 2 or 3 more but that's it! I've decided to switch off from the number of guests coming, we've given everyone plenty of notice (18 months) and changed from Mexico to Turkey due to the shorter flights and abundance of flights, so its up to them if they really want to come. We're not sure about having a party when we get back as I'd like to have it somewhere really nice but its working out really pricey, would rather do it properly or not do it at all, really don't fancy having it in a football/rugby/jubliee/social club so may knock it on the head and enjoy spending time with the guests who come out with us xx

    Hey September Bride - we're in very similar situations, we have 14 adults and 3 kiddies going. We've decided to concentrate on the guests who are going, rather than worry about the guests who aren't! Sounds abit harsh but it's got to be done, esp when we've given enough notice like you!

    I really wanted a party when we got back, but H2B says - we should spend the money that we'd spend on a 'party' on our actual wedding and not hold a party just for other people who haven't come!

    Good luck with your planning and I hope you have the most amazing wedding day ever!

    PS, what r ur thoughts now on your dress?? xx

    Wow.... some amazing dresses. And I think it is important to go with the dress that feels right rather than trying to fit it to the venue / place you're getting married. My dress is below.......



    It's from Ritva Westenius and called Exquisite.

    Thanks - I love it. It is Claire Pettibone, Orange Blossom. Should be in the shop in May, wahoo. I am not adverse to a little dress envy myself and I do go a bit gooey when I see Naboo's.

    Edit: ha ha, mutual dress congratulations.
