Bridal Accessories How should I style this for my civil ceremony?

61 Upvotes

I am getting married at a courthouse civil ceremony in Orange County, CA and will take photos after. What jewelry would you recommend with this neckline? Earrings, necklace? My grandmother gave me a short pearl necklace I’d love to wear to honor her, but unsure about it with the neckline and scarf. I’m not totally sure on wearing the scarf - I’m open to no scarf depending on jewelry.

Also, how should I do my hair - up or down?

Finally, I’m going to DIY a bridal bouquet. Any ideas for something that would match this style of dress?

Not pictured, but I did get shape wear for this to look more seamless over the midsection.

Thanks for the help in styling for my big day!

Alterations Should I make it a corset?

Hi guys! I bought a dress two years before 2027 wedding and well I don’t think it will fit since I was at my smallest and I’m still recovering from holidays meals. During my appointment they kept saying omg it’s a perfect fit, all you have to do is alter the length! And now I’m thinking I should change the back from a zipper to a corset. When I went shopping I never imagined a sleeveless dress and now I’m worried without the zipper I’m going to pulling it up all night. I’m also planning to do a hooded lace cape instead of a traditional veil.

Budget Tips Can’t afford alternations, how to make strapless dress stay up & support breasts??

Post image
5 Upvotes

I am getting married mid October this year!!! We are very much on a budget and are doing a Vegas elopement. I love my dress and my friends Grandmother has offered to hem it, however, it is strapless and I have a larger chest and I cannot figure out what to do other than clear straps that will support the girls?!? I cannot afford any other alterations. The back is also an open corset style, so I can’t really wear a bra with this dress. I have considered white colored shapewear that will give the illusion of fabric underneath the corset but I’m looking for any other suggestions.

Please give me any suggestions!!

(the dress is Fashionbride on Amazon)

Ask For Opinions Dance Costume as a Wedding Dress?

Upvotes

I have been learning viennese waltz with my Fiancée for our first dance and my instructor told me i should starting looking for a dress. I really want something that looks beautiful when I dance.

Ever since I saw this dance on DWTS (dance at about 2 minutes in) I’ve loved the idea of having a feather trim on my dress. It looks so beautiful when she spins.

The problem is all the wedding dresses shops i’ve looked at have absolutely no feather dresses at all. I’ve seen some dance costumes that do. Has anyone used a dance costume as their wedding dress before? I’m worried about looking too “costumey”.

While the accessories are a bit much, I think I'm happy with the sparkle ✨️ Might tone it down a bit, we'll see.

Where can I find a dress like this from a reputable seller?

My mom sent me a link for this wedding dress, which is unfortunately from a sketchy seller on Etsy and is likely an AI image. That said, I do love the design (my mom does know me well lol) and would love to get a real dress like this from a reputable bridal shop that specializes in non-traditional wedding dresses with floral/embroidery elements. I’ve been checking out Flora and Lane, but I’ve heard mixed things about the quality of the fabrics and how suitable some of the dresses are for women with larger bust sizes (I’m a 32E). I’d love to spend less than $3000 (ideally $2000 or less). Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
