This is the type of gown I would like but in a champagne colour instead.

Will this style go with your dramatic 20 foot long veil?
Do you have the veil yet?
Can you ensure colour matching of gown and veil?

I'm going full steam ahead with my wedding planning it's helpful keeping my mind off the court case which I'm dreading.
I have found my dream dress it's a long sleeves bateau neckline with a slight train and it will be in a champagne colour instead of the ivory colour as seen in the image it's Mikado silk caddy.
My veil I already have it's bespoke and is 20 feet long edged with Chantilly Lace flowers made from silk tulle.
With my dress having no embellishments I have gone for a dramatic veil.
I am wearing satin courts with a kitten heel in champagne silk .
I have decided I will wear a tiara albeit this time round it is real a platinum kokoschnik style with round brilliant diamonds worn on top of my veil.
It's being loaned from the jeweler my engagement ring from .
I will have a simple bouquet of Cherise roses and poinsettia.
It's a December wedding.
My first wedding was a summer one I always wanted a cold weather one I think it is very pretty when leaves are falling and frosty.

Both dresses you've mentioned are very elegant.

Re a winter wedding...the day may be less frosty than wet and/or foggy.

Do you have bridesmaids or flower girls to carry your 20 foot long veil in case it is bad weather on the day?
I thought the now Princess of Wales' wedding outfit was beautiful but I'd have preferred to see her long train left to flow instead of her bridesmaid keep holding it aloft.
But the weather for Kate and William was very kind.

Leaves will long gone in December , more  likely snow falling.

I had a February wedding and it snowed in the morning.

Me and my husband enjoyed our wedding at peckforton castle. I wore a deep champagne version of  Meghan Markles gown with a 10 feet train and a 18 feet veil in champagne silk tulle edged with lace flowers. 
My shoes were champagne silk ballet flats.
My husband served in the marines and wore his uniform.

wear what you want and what you can afford. Most brides look fairly similar - your guests will only care a) that you look happy and comfortable and b) that they are fed, watered and not kept standing about for ages.

top tip if long dress - don't wear staggering heels. They won't show except in your pained face and teetering posture. (ref many celeb brides!)

Thanks. I'm sure many have been worrying/wondering what you wore over 7 months ago.
