Like no bikini matched with doc martens

Im sure there are some brides who have married in a bikini, just cant think of one off the top of my head.

I think the world would be grateful if I spared it the sight of me in a bikini at a wedding (-:

I read all this thread yesterday, so pleased you found something, love monsoon so I bet you will look fab

Could I have some advice please, hope you don't mind Aliasojo. I've had the same problem finding a dress that fits for a wedding this weekend, thankfully I found a one at the last minute. It's spot patterned, black, beige and chartreuse green. I'm going to look today for some high heels, the dress was a bargain so think I'll buy a nice pair of shoes I can use again, I like these in black, but just seen they have nude too, which might be nice?

The dress is just below the knee and my legs never see light of day so I'm going to have to wear tights. If I get the black shoes would you say natural or black tights?

I like the nude shoes and I would wear natural tights. if you fo with black shoes, I would still wear natural tights rather than black tights.

Just my opinion of course..

I like shoes and tights to match, I think it makes your legs look longer.

Within reason of course, I'm not sure I'd have red legs if I had red shoes.

I was thinking of the 80's I used to have every colour tight to match what I was wearing, even yellow to go with one outfit, goodness knows what I looked like :rotfl:

Great shoes! I like the nude ones for now, but the black would probably get worn more in the winter. Nude tights with either colour shoe, as it is summer (unless you have very fat legs, when I'd go for black tights) Can you tell I've been spending a lot of time discussing wedding attire lately?!:p

I love the shoes, but would probably go for the black with natural tights.

Glad you managed to find something op! Wondering if I can cut in for advice! I have bought this to wear to my friends wedding on Saturday http://www.yoursclothing.com/P/Cream_bird_print_lace_trim_dress-(18061).aspx and am wondering whether to wear it with nude tights or black leggings? I have a little black shrug to wear over my shoulders as well.

Got about a week ago and it's now nearly half price in the sale although out of stock in my size now.

Definitely tights, I don't think leggings are really appropriate for a wedding, too casual.

The dress is lovely though, are your shoes black?
