Wedding Belle

This is high wedding season and if your like me you need your money to go further without compromising on looks.  When I was single there was such a buzz about weddings and the possibility of meeting someone. Now that I'm married it's a lovely reminder of how special our own day was, a chance to get all dressed up and share in some else's joy. Whatever your looking forward to I'm sure you want to look your very best!  I've pulled together a little selection of great dresses at very reasonable prices that are sure to make an impact if your attending a wedding over the summer and if your not, they're still great dresses!
I must tell you that all these dresses reflect a few of my personal beliefs regarding being a wedding guest.
1) There are always the overdressed or under dressed guests, don't be either of these! 
2) Don't outshine the bride, it's her day for goodness sake!
3) Unless the invite says so, don't wear white! 
4) Less is NOT more! You don't want to be remembered for the wrong reasons so dress respectably!
OK, enough preaching. Proceed and enjoy!

This would look amazing with gold or turquoise jewellery!

I love the shape of this vintage style dress!
Change the belt for a ribbon or add a large flower brooch.

I just thought it was so beautiful I had to include it.
I think it's just stunning!
Only about €63 including shipping!

There is lots of great stuff on the high street but one of the things I love about shopping online is that it's highly unlikely someone else will show up with the same outfit!
Hope you saw something you liked, wedding guest or not! :)

  2. Oh! The black maxi reminds me of a gorgeous blue one in TopShop, it has a lace back. Sooo stunning! I hope its in the sale as its a big steep at £48 for me I think, knowing full well Topshop always have sales.

  3. Oh my god, that wedding dress is STUNNING!
    Half tempted to buy it now and save it for if/when I get married (even though I'm only 21!) :-P
    That'd be an interesting thing to say on first dates... "by the way, I already have my wedding dress" :-P
