The Wearing My Wedding Dress Challenge

It’s finally time for Wearing My Wedding Dress!

In September I set a challenge for everyone who wanted to participate in today’s #iwillwearwhatilike link up to wear their wedding dresses/outfits and share them here. You only need to know four things:

  1. The theme as always is optional – link up any outfits you like
  2. If you don’t have your wedding dress any more or you only got married just recently, it’s fine to link up any photos from your wedding day
  3. Bridesmaids dresses count if you’ve never been married
  4. It’s all just a bit of fun… Remember, no rules as such! Interpret it however you wish 🙂

I decided to share a few photos from my wedding day as well as wear the main part of my outfit for today’s challenge so you can see how I styled it on the day. I didn’t actually wear a red check shirt on my wedding day(!) – I just thought it’d be more fun to team something completely unexpected with the faux fur coat. To be honest I couldn’t find the top I wore on the day in time for the photo shoot, nor the shoes, so that swayed me as well to switch it up a bit.

My thoughts about what I wore? Looking back at the photos I still love the outfit, but it just doesn’t look right being worn now… I’m not sure what it is, I think it’s the length of the coat. I think the texture is lovely and of course I’ve worn the trousers many times since, but I think I’ll just look after and hold onto the coat for sentimental reasons. Though our 10-year anniversary is in January so maybe I’ll wear the coat for whatever we decide to do to celebrate… We’ll have to see!

I can’t wait to see you in your wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses or whatever else you link up – have fun with it! Scroll down for all the details 🙂

Tell me: What do you think about your wedding dress now? If you married a while ago have you tried it on recently, and if so what did you think? Let me know in the comments!




Coat: JFW at John Lewis | Shrug: Unknown, I’d cut the label out | Top: Oasis | Trousers: Coast (all bought in the January sales) | Bag: Debenhams | Shoes: Unknown (I already owned them) | Brooch: My something borrowed
