Help! What can i wear to my wedding??

Megan, on August 2, 2018 at 3:49 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

So my and my soon-to-be husband have started looking at what I should wear to my wedding because I don't like dresses, although he wants me to wear one. I've tried googling my problem and the other option is a jumpsuit. I don't like these either because they make me look like an oompa lumpa as I don't have the height to wear one and I don't have the body shape for them. At this point I'm well and truly struggling, so if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated.

    Would you consider a long skirt? What do you usually wear to formal events?

    Have you tried on different wedding dresses? You may want to try some, different fabrics & silhouettes & lengths to make sure you don't like any of them.

    What about some flowing pants paired with a tighter fitting top. It’ll lessen the frump factor of the pants suit and give you a lot more option when picking out the top separately.

    Yesssss all of this! Or even a white jump suit. I recently went to the wedding where the bride wore a one shoulder jumpsuit with like a cape but it actually looked like a train when she walked down the aisle. It was so pretty and different. You coilsnh even do a nice white jumpsuit with some back action!

    Usually I would wear a blouse and tight trousers, and it’s also hard because white isn’t my colour, I always wear black where ever I go.

    No one says you have to wear white. You could wear any color you want. One of my good friends is getting married in a couple months in an absolutely gorgeous black dress.
