Wedding Dress Help ;)

    Hi Folks,

    I'm trying to find my wedding dress :)

    I don't really like any of the traditional dresses they sell in the Bridal boutiques.
    I'm hoping to try and find somewhere on or offline that perhaps stocks something for the more bohemian/hippie type of bride. Something simple but a bit different and I don't mind if its second hand etc.

    Not having much success so far in my local area Belfast Northern Ireland. Any suggestions would be great, I'm happy to travel a bit further if need be.

    Thanks for reading :)

    Rosie xx

    Would you not have your dress made by a good dressmaker at least then you could choose the style you want. Good luck

    I am thinking a long your lines too. It is very hard to find something. Now I have only gone to two shops in cork but I have two more places to go see on the 31st and I have two more to see in Kilkenny who are suppose to have different style ill let you know.. I haven't really come across anyshops online JJshouse had some nice different style but nothing wow

    Link was directed at OP not you. They wouldn't be my thing either, but they would be great on some women if they are looking for boho/hippy vibe.

    The lovemydress blog has links to a lot of Fab designers. I found there was no shortage of fabulous original designs actually. Tried on some amazing gowns but you have to do your research... pinterest is a great resource too.

    Sorry for talking out of sync but just saw another bride looking for someone to take in one of these dresses. Claire Pettibone dress, jes they are very nice. Not sure where would stock them though perhaps you could ask


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 mark206000

    Claire pettibone dresses are just stunning an a little like what Im looking for minus the price tag
