A wedding dress for a non-traditional bride.

OK people, so I’m getting married to the man of my dreams. I live in Greece and basically the options you have when getting married is either the city hall, or the church. I’m not a religious person so a church is out of the question. City hall it is, it will be short and sweet and following that, there’s a big party planned. I don’t have such a bridal fantasy in my mind, so I’m not looking for virginal veils, long trains and some super elaborate princess dress. I was thinking of sporting a fabulous and fun party dress like this:

The second choice is beyond my humble budget. I have a very good friend who designs clothes and she could definitely help me copy something and I would throw in a cute fascinator and my best pair of heels. Recently though, I have been flirting with the idea of a long, white dress, which would have to look like this well seen white Elizabeth and James maxi that MK is wearing:

Anyway, sorry to go on like this. I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas about this. I definitely don’t want something generic, that’s why the Mary Kate dress appeals to me, as far as white gowns go, it does have very strong, non-bridal features.

Bodytype wise, I’m 5’ 7’’, around 129 pounds, a size 6. I wouldn’t mind a tinier waist, but there’s always spanx!

Thank you.
