Yes another wedding post...
Here is what I like so far looking online. With this being my 2nd wedding we are doing it outside I want it to be more casual. Tell me what you think. I am a plus size bride and yes I want to get some more of this weight off, but I will NEVER been a little girl so I need something for my body...
Bouns points if you can find me one I like better! haha
Here is my top pick from just looking online still have to try on...I would wear this with Orange pumps!

Re: Help me pick my dress
Can we get a body shot of you so we know what your body type is/how busty you are?
I think that the last one is anything but casual. If you're going for a more relaxed feel, that one might be a little too formal, and it may cost too much money for you to buy this one for the ceremony and change into something more casual for the ceremony.
I love the third one as J & K said it is more formal but it is simple.... I think for a second wedding it is not to much but still very much a beautiful wedding dress!!! I vote #3!
I love dress 1 and 3. I personally look horrible in dresses like dress number 1, so I wouldn't pick that one for myself. Maybe you'll have a better idea once you try it on?
But I also really really like dress 3. Pretty, elegant, and the waist looks like it would be very flattering!
I really like the 1st one if you want simple. The 3rd is lovely too but if you want it more traditional.
Not sure if you like embroidered type dresses but I thought this was beautiful because it is short but yet has that train like in the back.

Yeah, anything that falls just below the knee is a great idea!! I like this one, Duff!!
Me too!
Elegant yet Simple...
That is super cute Duff!!! Wanna be my wedding planner?!? haha
I am at work so I can not do a full body pic right now but will work on one tonight. I am def not that busty (40C) just big hips and right now belly fat.
I would be honored
Would you say pear shape?
Dress #1 - If you have great legs, go with this one. Very cute!
Dress #3 - Love this style, and I think it would look beautiful.
Yes em thats me! My colors are orange, blk and white. It's sorta a bengals (football) wedding but I dont want it to be all about football still be some what classy.
Also-- If you want a dress to hide your tummy, choose something high-waisted with a ribbon. This one would look great:

That is a nice dress too eesome.
Mandi - Cute! Do you have centerpieces, location, ect? Well if you ever want a 2nd opinion you know we will all help
LOVE
I knew I could count on you girls...The wedding girls are like oh I like them all ohh so pretty BS! haha
Like I have said before its really kinda hard for me to plan this time. My first wedding was awesome and I had everything I wanted I am having a hard time....I would be okay with the court house but its his first wedding so I am trying...
We are getting married in a park and the respection will be at the Moose lodge (free because his parents are members) They have circle tables so I am thinking mirrors (with 3 dif size circle vases with that jelly stuff and orange and blk something in them) I love gerber daisy so def need them somewhere some how. The guys are going to wear dark jeans, blk shirt and orange tie (if a tie at all) The girls will more then likely be in blk dresses.
Wow this all sounds so pretty. I can't wait to see pictures to see how it all came together. Gerber Daisies are one of my favorite too. Are you going to for sure incorporate them in your bouquet?
Def! Okay I really like this dress..... https://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Strapless-Taffeta-Gown-with-Beaded-Lace-Bodice-9SAS1224
1- Like the dress but off hand makes me think more prom/homcoming and I think the orange heels would make it look less wedding like but then you really aren't going formal wedding.
2- Makes me wonder if #2 is on the way and your not letting us know yet, also doesn't seem formal or fun to me
3- No thoughts on this one, I like it, don't think it is too formal for a second marriage either
By the way I was a colored slip bride and love the idea of colored shoes too. It was funny though my thank-you's had the slip showing and enough people who were at the wedding had no idea I had purple under my long dress

I think I really like this one ladies!!!!!!!
I tried on dress #2 when I was dress shopping a few years ago. I HATED IT! It didn't fit at all like the picture. It definitely made me look about 7 months pregnant and I was pretty fit and thin then.
I LOVE dress #1 so that is my vote. I didn't open all the other links in the post though so there may have been better suggestions.
No matter how dressy or dark, jeans are jeans. There is NOTHING wrong with your guys wearing jeans but for that reason I would put my vote in for a short or knee length dress only. I think a longer more wedding-y dress might look a little silly. Maybe a white or ivory dress with a wedding vibe? Like any of these?

I love the idea of wearing colored shoes by the way!
I def like the 2nd one! Not sure about the first one on me...
