Dresses

Having bought something ages ago from Harrods, I am on their mailing list. Most emails that come through are of no interest but the other day, there was a link to a very pretty dress which when I followed brought me to all of these - I think any of them would make beautiful wedding dresses. They range in price from £575 to £6,499.





Tiered Ruffle Gown By Chloé
Luxuriously crafted in Italy with pure silk, it boasts a sumptuous chiffon design with a floaty tiered ruffle silhouette and is accented with ladylike lace inserts. Simply complete the look with loose curls and a pink lip this season.

Sequin Balloon Sleeve Gown By Andrew GN
This dress offers a romantic tapestry of texture with heavy clusters of floral sequins and beading contrasting with delicate tulle in the semi-sheer balloon sleeves. Partner with gold strappy sandals and flowers of any colour!


Embellished Batwing Gown By Jenny Packham
This embellished silk gown sees a dazzling array of iridescent and matte sequins arranged in a zig zag pattern. Cut with a V-neckline and softly draped batwing sleeves, the floor-sweeping silhouette is as stylish as it is flattering. Delicate micro-beads and a cluster of sparkling crystals at the waist add further opulence to this head-turning number.

Floral Lace Peplum Down By Alexander McQueen
Draped in floral guipure lace with a grosgrain ribbon waistband and frilly peplum hem to accentuate the figure, this gown is elegance optimised. A round neckline and a sleeveless, columnar silhouette elongate the form, while pretty eyelash hems complete the piece. 


Broderie Anglaise Maxi Dress by McQ Alexander McQueen

Adorned with ladylike Broderie Anglaise detailing, this floaty maxi dress has been luxuriously crafted with a soft woven fabric and boasts a vintage folkloric-inspired design with a high neck and frilled finish - perfect for a vintage themed wedding.


Supernova Embellished Gown by Needle & Thread

Ruffled tiers of nude tulle layer in abundance to form this romantic piece. With an off-the-shoulder neckline and delicate self-tie straps, the Supernova gown has been intricately decorated with clusters of beads and sequins, creating a shimmering constellation effect. Lace inserts and a grosgrain waistband add extra depth and texture to the floor-sweeping silhouette. Well suited to a vintage themed wedding.



Gabriella Cut-Out Back Maxi Dress by Hervé Léger

From the elegant floor-sweeping length to the alluring open loose-knit design, it’s perfect for on your beach wedding. With cut-out detail to the back and imagined in a versatile ivory hue, it’ll have dawn to dusk covered. 


Yemanya Silk Embellished Gown by Johanna Ortiz

Oozing Latin flair, the Yemanya gown will certainly draw the spotlight! From the plunging V-neckline and cut-out wrap around bodice to the blooming floral print and tiered ruffle mermaid skirt, it promises head to heels glamour. Imagined in sumptuously soft silk, it’s calling for heeled sandals and exotic flowers.

On from yesterday

I almost didn't post yesterday's blog as I felt it was missing something. Realised in the middle of the night that it needed some wedding atmosphere to go with it! Because when I went, the day was not a sunny summer's day, I still have quite haunting images of the lake so I decided to show you two styled shoots that fit that feel. Ironically they were both shot in the UK - in Northern Ireland and Cornwall but never-the-less, they translate well. The first is from Paula O'Hara

And just so you know - no animals were harmed in the creation of this shoot – they are well cared for at the Feadon Farm wildlife center, part of the luxury holiday lodge resort, Gwel an Mor where this photoshoot took place.

I hope you get the feel and the images didn't make you feel too chilled!
