So I am not really a bride person. I am not sure about wearing White/cream/ivory. I really want to wear a purple dress, what do you all think?

Wear what you feel comfortable in. One of my friends wore burnt orange, another wore peacock blue, another wore coffee and cream and another wore baby pink with silver. Come to think of it, more of my friends have worn colours than have worn white!

Go for it. It's your wedding. Someone will turn round and say oh I didn't like her dress but that doesn't matter what colour you wear someone will always dislike the brides dress I think it's part and parcel of the day. Just have a wonderful day xx

I know a person who got married in black, and now who married in red. It's your day. Wear what makes you feel good. Enjoy

This was mine. I had to have it made as I couldn't find a 'wedding dress' and was advised to find a bridesmaid dress!
Wear what you like- all my friends were expected purple!!

I’m wearing black and not bothered what anyone thinks! I have always said i will wear black since i was about 13 and 23 years later, I’m still going to! It’s your wedding so why do you have to conform to everyone elses ideas of what is right!

Wear what colour you feel comfortable in. You don’t want to regret it if you don’t wear the colour you really want just to conform to everyone expecting a bride to wear white/ivory.

My partner loves purple so she would deff back your choice, we watch say yes to the dress and you get to see a lot of variety and people do not always pick traditional colours

If you'd like too go for it. If you don't want to clash make sure you tell women guests what you're doing.

Thank you for all the encouragement guys you have really helped me. The thing most important is the rings but I want to be comfortable in my dress. All your comments have helped me to confirm my decision. xx
