As many of you know, I've been engaged since April 2012 and I have some exciting news to tell you all. As of yesterday evening, me and my partner James have placed the deposit down on our wedding reception. I'm beyond excited and I seem to have gone into wedding overdrive. I'm not getting married until 2014, but it's great that we're so prepared and we can have a gradual planning session rather than doing the whole 'Don't Tell The Bride' thing of booking a wedding within 3 weeks. Of course, being a really girly girl, I'm so excited about trying on wedding dresses in the near future, so I decided to celebrate by showing you some of my favourites online.
My wedding theme is 1950s/60s. Me and my partner can't choose with decade we really prefer, so we're going for the turn of the decade. Think Dreamboats and Petticoats and early Beatles. I'm looking for a dress with plenty of elegant lace and quite big. This top dress is from the Maggie Sottero range. I love the beautiful lace top half and how the lace trails along the bottom. I have slightly bigger hips so I like the fact that this dress goes in at the wait then out again.
This second dress still has the lace elements that I really like, but it's much more slimline. I'm not overly keen on the gloves, but the dress looks beautiful. It's simple, yet incredibly elegant.
The final dress is known as the 'Snow White' dress. I love the floral decoration on the top and the fact that it looks so retro. Right now if I had to choose one dress, this would definitely be it.
Whilst we were discussing wedding plans at the hotel last night, we were told that the hotel is pet friendly and that guests are allowed to bring dogs if they are struggling for accommodation. Words cannot describe how happy I am to hear that my little yorkshire terrier, Ozzy, can be a guest at my wedding. Of course he isn't allowed in the reception room, but he can be in my wedding pictures and have a lie down upstairs whilst we all party. I definitely need to look at dog tuxedos...
Which dress would you choose?

I'd choose dress #2 then maybe #1. I'm a big lace fan!!!! I think I'm a little more of a fitted silhouette. Congrats & happy planning!!!

I love the first dress! I got engaged in December so it's early days but I think I'd love a lace dress, maybe not so big. Congratulations!

Congrats again and yay to booking! :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough engaged myself (my wedding not till dec 2014/jan 2015-haven't decided yet!) my best friend is currently planning her wedding (oct 2013) so I'm well in wedding planning mode with being maid-of-honour! :)
I love the second dress for the lace and straight cut at the top.. I'm wanting for myself somthing similar, but with the lace going upto my neck..
I can, however, imagine you in the 3rd dress.. with dainty white gloves..
I'm sure you'll look a beaut in any. :)

Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are beautiful. I was very tempted by the Disney range myself, the Snow White being one of my favourites. x
Congrats on your engagement and best wishes with your marriage. For me it's a toss-up between the 1st and 2nd. I think I'm leaning towards the 2nd. I like the lace neck area of both of them.
