Festival Wedding

We absolutely love festival vibes at a wedding. Live music, homemade decorations, flowers everywhere and everyone having the best time. As the sunshine gets brighter we felt now is the perfect time to inspire you with out festival wedding vision. 

Our Claire Pettibone dress, Georgia is our lady of the moment in our day dream with her delicate lace details and beautifully fitted shape it's perfect for the chilled out vibes and easy flowing music of the big day. Effortlessly fitting in with the bright colours around her and light as a feather she is the obvious choice for the bride of the day. 

Even though it's a chilled out atmosphere you can't say no to a beautiful sparkling, eye catching pair of shoes. Emmy Shoes are perfect for this theme and help us no matter what we prefer. For those who needs heels we chose our shoes to be out something blue with Eva. For those who want to dance until the sun comes back up, we chose Carine. A super cute pair of sparkly flats. And for those who want the height but also the comfort and not to sink into the ground, we selected Leila, the ivory wedge wonders! 

Festivals are always about bright colours, standing out and the odd quirky details. There can never be enough colour at a wedding, the bouquets are bright and blossoming, a back drop of flowers to say I do against and get that perfect wedding shot, and of course, the brightest cake that makes everyone smile and say wow! And for that memorable, stand out detail...why not welcome a Prosecco van to your day, keeping the bubbles flowing while you enjoy the sunshine and laugh with your loved ones. 

Summer Vision

As we try look past the winter rain to the spring and summer we are so excited to see back, it is however a very exciting time for our summer brides. If you haven't chosen and ordered your dress already now is the time to do it in order to fit in all your fittings before your big day.

We have put together a little summer bride guide for you of what dress we'd pick, what bridesmaids dresses compliment it, hair, shoes, underwear and flowers to create a perfect summer wedding vision.

We have chosen the elegant and utterly dreamy gown, Esme from the Summer's Eve Collection by Naomi Neoh. A beautiful gown full of movement and poise, this is also a new colour to Naomi Neoh gowns as it's in Oyster. A pale Oyster gown in chantilly lace with slim plisse silk chiffon skirt and a soft silk chiffon sash in a beautiful pale peach colour. The colours and pale blush/peach colour theme of the dress inspired this to be our theme. 

Our beautiful fairytale-like bridesmaids dress is by Maid To Measure and it called Georgina. A stunning one shoulder dress in a pale blush shows off the 2 shoulder wedding dress perfectly and makes the sash of Esme pop. 

Our shoes for our summer vision are by Rachel Simpson called Marilyn with a silk bow that falls effortlessly over the shoe. A delicate detail for a delicate dress.

Our chosen underwear is by Shell Belle, a wonderful luxury lingerie brand we stock in store and the briefs are Gatsby in pink in silk satin. With bow details, embroidered front and cute patterned behind these are sweet but also beautiful for the big day. 

Our selected hair style from our pinterest board would be an up do with peonies and sage coloured leaves, keeping the coloured watered down and neutral to assure no colour over powers the dress and leaves a floaty romantic atmosphere around the gown. This ties in perfectly to our chosen bouquet of pale pink peonies, little cream roses and babies breath, a wild flower country garden bouquet to compliment Esme in every way.

Elie Saab Haute Couture

Elie Saab is one of the most beautiful and flawless designers when it comes to dresses and it's about time it was shared with our readers who haven't seen or heard of it all before. A perfect way to get inspired on a sunday and too see some beyond magical gowns. This is the collection from Fall/Winter 15/16 and how incredible are they?

The stunning attention to detail is something we will always be crushing over and not even to mention how, no matter which you chose, all eyes would be on you! The ultimate head turners and a gown that will forever be remembered on guests minds. The Haute Couture Collection is elegant, chic and mysterious all in one...maybe that's why we love it. The element of darkness is completely enchanting.
