 I'll probably just wear light baggy trousers and a button-up top - I get really warm really easily and I don't want to be sweating before I've got my dress on! That would be attractive, walking down the aisle with my makeup sliding down my face...! I'll see what I can get for my BMs and mum, if I can get something quite cheaply then I'll personalise a top for the morning, if not, then we'll slum it! xx

 I think I'm going to wear a cotton dressing gown, it keeps you warm, it's comfy, if any make up smudges on it - well big deal and as @katy3108 said you don't have to pull it over your head when you're getting dressed so your hair and make up will be safe ;)
Plus, you can personalise them with iron-on "Bride" transfers, rhinestones etc. and it's a nice keepsake as well.

 I just going to wear vest top with Pj bottoms!! Was going to do the whole personalised dressing gowns but getting married in July so am hoping for some heat (and even if it's not hot, there will be so many people in the house it will get warm anyway) so don't want to be hot and sweaty before I go anywhere...ha ha!! Plus with the vest top I can pull it down avoiding ruining hair/make up!! Just go for something comfy hun that you can get off easily!!x

 I think I'm going to wear a pretty day dress or jumper dress over jeans - something nice looking, but simple and easy to slip off without ruining hair/make up emoticon

 @accidentallyme I have been wondering this too! I have dressing gowns which I need to put transfers on for me and bridesmaidsto wear while we get ready but they are alot shorter than I was hoping so going to have to decide what to wear underneath! I'm thinking probably vest tops and pj trousers will be fine- will have to just tell them to try not to clash too much with dressing gowns (while keeping dressing gowns as a surprise!!). Just wear something you're comfortable in and can get off without ruining your hair!! x

 One night of my hen weekend is a slumber party for which I'm getting myself and my bridesmaids satin (button up) pj's. Ivory for me and Purple for them. Also getting rhinestone transfers to personalise them so we will wear those on the morning of the wedding aswell to get the most use out of them emoticon x

 I've brought my pj's/morning outfit already, I got some really pretty pinky coloured pj's in the next sale. The top has tie up straps so I can undo them and slip the top off. Nice and loose and comfy too emoticon

 i hadn't thought much about this but i may have to actually get dressed as i'm struggling to find a mobile hair dresser that i like so i would have to go to a salon on the morning of the wedding.

I would say it doesn't matter so much what you're wearing on the bottom half as long as it's comfortable, but for the top i'd say a lose vest top or button up shirt/nightshirt would be best really. I don't think it would be possible to look a state in your preparation photos and even if you didn't look your best you'd probably be too happy to care!

  • Wedding will be on 16 June 2012
    At Wortley Hall (Sheffield / Barnsley), South Yorkshire
 I'm the same as @tinks1985 and having my hair done at a salon then got to travel up to the venue so I'm going to have to wear an actual outfit! I was thinking a pretty summer dress that I can step in and out of. If not, a top that I can pull down or undo! Not going to buy anything new though as think I might have a new outfit for the day after instead. Or as mum calls it 'my going away outfit' emoticon x
