Anywhere in Ireland that stocks black or colourful wedding dresses

    The whole bridal look isn't for me and I've been thinking of wearing something more vibrant or perhaps black on my wedding day instead of the traditional white dress.

    I found a brand called Adela Designs but struggling to find stockists other than wed2be who only have one or two of their more ordinary designs.

    Anyone know of anywhere that stocks black/alternative colour wedding dresses?


    I looked at JJs house but I'd be worried about the quality and the lack of an opportunity to try them on.

    Is it just the colour you object to? If that's the case, you could look into whether it would be possible to dye a wedding dress.

    If you also don't like the typical wedding dress designs, then you can get a dress from anywhere that you like, it wouldn't have to be a bridal shop.

    Some dresses will come in different colours, but they tend to be close to white - gold, cream, pale pink or champagne would be the common other colours.

    There seems to be a wedding dress shop in Sligo called Simone's that stock a black dress - eg https://www.instagram.com/p/CfqdM8JtD-E/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    There's a lady on Instagram, based in Dublin I believe. Miz_Rio is the name.

    Some beautiful alternative dresses there

    Thanks! I saw a news article about that shop and I thought it was funny that a black wedding dress made the news 😆

    I like the idea of a ballgown style or maybe mermaid but just the colour. I could buy a secondhand white dress and dye and embellish it with lace etc. Apparently dying lace appliques can be a bit hit or miss.

    I'd almost consult with a dressmaker, tbh. It depends on your budget of course, but getting a dress custom made might be a good option. I've heard it's not as expensive as you might think, but of course that depends on how complex the dress is. Equally, as you can, you could buy a second hand one and use a dressmaker to customise it (potentially).
