The dress is beautiful. She should wear the dress she wants to wear. If she wanted to compromise I suppose she could make the dress in cream instead, and still use the gold and red trims.

I hope she sticks to what she wants. If the family say they won’t go to the wedding that’s their loss.
I wonder if they would object if she told them what they should wear.

It’s beautiful and she will look stunning I’m sure. No ones business but the brides ?

JWW did more than one painting of Ophelia. Maybe the family thought she meant the one where she’s wearing a white dress? Anyway, I love the paintings and I love the dresses, so good for her.

I went to a goth wedding in the 80s. The bride had her black, traditional style dress made for her. The 2 bridesmaids bought their dresses from a charity shop and dyed them black.
They all looked fabulous ?

Bride's day, bride's choice methinks.

Exactly., especially if paying for it themselves, and in this case, even sewing it. Bravo.

No ones blooming business if she wants to get married in a bikini up to her

I once saw a beautiful all black wedding dress at an exhibition, but my daughters were horrified when I suggested black for their weddings, but like has been said, Bride`s choice.
When daughter 2 went shopping for her dress, her fiance went with her, as, in his words "You`re not walking down the aisle in something I don`t like"! And she actually bought his choice!

Since most of the brides who wear white aren't virgins anyway, I can't see that there's anything wrong with wearing something more unconventional.

Yes, it's the bride's choice and the dress looks lovely. I'd fantasise about wearing something like that, too. What a shame the family are spoiling everything.

I must admit I had to google the painting, but it is a beautiful dress. Just the medieval style I used to fantasise about wearing when I was a young girl.
Why on earth would anyone object?

Surely the bride to be should have the choice?
