I need some help with finding a "dress".

[AnimalBride]

I am getting married in a Zoo, and everyone seems to be wearing a zoo themed outfit but me. I am trying to find an animal print gown but I can't seem to find one for me, especially since I am a plus size woman. Will someone please help me. I would appreciate it. Thanks, Animal Bride

are you the bride? you can always google "animal print prom dresses" and you'll get LOTS of answers ;)

if you are a guest, then you can pretty much wear anything animal print...
there's alot here, and i've added a few, including a zebra striped one with a cute little train ;)

Yes I am the bride. Thank you for showing me the website, I like that gown.

If you still wanted to wear white, you can always find an animal print pattern that you like and have it made as a sash to attach to a white gown (either by you or a seamstress) kind of like how people will put color on their gowns with a sash

You could also add feathers to your hair or in your bouquet.

Thats a REALLY good idea!! :)

A zoo theme is awesome! you will have to show us what you decide xx

Oh this sounds like fun! You so gotta stick around so that we can see what you decide! Are you more interested in a print dress, or a solid with an animal flair? Like a sash that's animal print, or a dress with animals on it (like the ever famous butterfly dress: )

See, we can go nuts with ideas, but we need an idea as to what you're looking for :)

I really like the idea of feathers in your hair. You could pick feathers that were white/cream to go with it, or add a pop with your wedding colors. I also think you could add Peacock feathers to keep up with the Zoo theme (which I love BTW). You may be able to have a material that gives a feather-like appearance (such as feathered lace)along the neckline of your dress. That will make it even more animalistic, and it's a simple thing to do.

We decided I will match my fiance' to an extent and stay in a traditional white gown and maybe add some animal flair to it like a sash or something, since he is wearing Zebra Print. The Girls I am letting to prtray a different animal and their matches must wear the same animal print. So my maid of honor and his bestman are Jungle Jane and Tarzan on a date. My bridesmaid is dressing as penguin colors along with the other groomsman.

I am still having a hard time looking for a banana bouquet, but I think I found a solution. A banana flower open filled with beautiful tropical flowers. and bridesmaids carrying fake banana bunches.

This is going to be over the top for under budget hopefully. I still need ideas
though I can't come up with everything nor can my maid of honor.We're dumbfounded right now as to how far this Zoo theme can go.

The flower Girl dress more than likely, but sleeveless.

We have more ideas coming in soon.

Thanks for all the advice and keep shooting me ideas I appreciate it.
Blessed Be
