Ah, the weather is heating up, my hayfever is kicking off and that can only mean one thing.
Wedding season is upon us.
Of course, just to be difficult, I got married in November, I also wore red. I wore a Vollers corset from Fairy Goth Mother and a burgundy silk skirt from The Frock Factory with a black net underskirt and a black chiffon shawl. I also sewed some black chiffon into the top of my corset as it was a little low cut and I understand showing your nipples to the Registrar isn’t good etiquette…..
My difficult and petulant nature aside, April to September are by far the most popular months for weddings, meaning that around this time the UK is full of brides and guests with some very specific fashion choices to make.
For Brides to be the distinction between white, cream and ivory is something they now know. Choosing a dress is a major decision, and often a major part of the budget and modern Brides have such a huge range of choices.
From the huge Hollywood Dreams, high drama, high price wedding dresses costing £1500 upwards.
To a simple and elegant off the peg dress from Debenhams
The choices are greater than ever! If you want something *really* different you could make your own, commission someone else to make one for you to your design, or you could go vintage….
This is a 1930s lace column dress from The Vintage Wedding Dress Company.
Dresses from The Vintage Wedding Dress Company cost upwards of £1000 and can be tailored to fit.
Posh Girl Vintage is based in the US, but has beautiful vintage dresses that would be great for an understated modern civil wedding.
This beautiful 1950s dress costs $545
