Bridesmaids outshining the bride 2

I spoke lately about the bridesmaids and bridemaids dresses. I recently saw a multiway dress in The Gloss magazine 03/06/10. Gorgeous dress and about 15 different ways to style the top of the dress-great way to get the different looks for the girls. One down fall-it cost £399. Now don’t despair-it is only a matter of time before a company copies this and some bridesmaids manufacturers do this-but the high street will be on top of this in no time-so keep your eyes peeled-if you find any let me know!

Try to keep your bridesmaids dresses different to your own-a close copy in a different colour neutralises your distinct look-for example-if you ahve a one shoulder dress-give the girls different strap variations not a matching one shoulder-, also if there is a flower or detailing on your dress in a particular spot-don’t match this-again it makes your dress and style less special.

We recently advised a bride to mix the stlyes for her different shaped bridesmaids in chiffon dresses-drapy, comfortable and fabulous. Each dress has a slight embellishment and is individual to each girl-highlighting their best assets while complimenting the brides taste, theme and style

So when picking think of this little tip-if anyone  in particular (or all) is calling all the shots- think to yourself-would she let me wear this dress/dictate to her, annoy everyone-for her own wedding?I DON’T THINK SO!

Buy and sell once worn wedding dress?

Once worn wedding dress

Just a quick note to let everyone know we are selling once worn gowns from our store.

Why? Due to constraints on budgets lately brides are looking for mega value, gorgeous dresses without the massive price tags! From looking online there is a world of dresses to be found but a lot are abroad-sometimes the pictures are not great and you don’t want to arrive to someones house only to find it was not the dress you thought which makes everything very awkward!

So….we have now got some dresses in stock to try on, and if they suit great if not no hassle! Ican’t believe how open brides are to this idea instore and the first 2 flew out the door within a day of going on display-with no qualms by the brides to be-they got the dress they dreamed of, at a price that was right..who would know anyway?

So for any bride out there that loved their dress but wants to get some money back on it-email me some photos, designer and style number and start turning that dress into cash today!

Lace Wedding Dresses

One of the main keyword searches on our website for brides looking for their perfect wedding dress has been Lace Wedding Dresses. We have only 1 full lace wedding dress in our store at the moment which is Aline from Youlin and had our most popular lace wedding dress style discontinued. I would love if any brides out there could tell us what style of lace wedding dress they are looking for and we will start to get that style in. I am relooking for a similar style lace dress to the discontinued one-which was a slimline fit lace dress, with straps, empire line and some sequins in the lace-giving sparkle but in a subtle and elegant way rather than a christmas tree! It fitted snugly over the body and hung over the hips-it did not go out in anyway, and had a deep v neckline front and back-truly gorgeous!

If you would like to reply to this blog please do and for our next new dresses we will try to get in what brides are looking for and cannot find! So what type of lace dress are YOU looking for???
