Thats a beautiful dress.
NOW don't be going on with the hippo stuff, you just need a dress that flatters your shape hun. Go to debenhams, get the personal shopper to help you. Seriously, you'll look beautiful - especially with the award winning smile xx
Go to a wedding dress shop and ask if they have any bridesmaids dresses on sale or if you can buy one off the peg. It's not easy to match with a coloured wedding dress but for that I would go with a pale blue or even a red!
