Second hand designer gowns

——————————————————

Every bride deserves to walk down the aisle in an amazing dress on her wedding day.  Sadly not everyone can afford the crazy prices that most of the best designers and wedding dress boutiques offer.
Until now…

Recently I launched a new concept with regards to “previously owned” wedding dresses for sale ‘privately’.

I have noticed how many brides try to sell their dresses after they have worn them once to try and get some of their money back, most are unsuccessful as there is just not enough time to put into marketing the dress properly + most potential buyers are wary of a private sale – not to mention the safety concerns.

Recreating a picture

While I was looking for photos for my classic film star table names, I came across this beautiful one of Ginger Rogers, and just fell in love with it!

Isn’t it lovely? I want to ask my photographer if there’s any way she can recreate this pose and sepia feel for one of my wedding pictures. I would looove to have a photo of me like this one hanging up in my house!

Anyone else find a great photo, a pose or just a “feel” that they want to recreate in their wedding photos?


Uniquely You

What fun details are you incorporating into your wedding celebration to make it more “you”? Fun themes, colour schemes, favours, decor touches, and so on can all be something special to you.

Mr Honeysuckle and I love movies - I’d go so far as to use the term “Movie geeks”, so we’re doing a movie theme, with an emphasis on the classics. I cleverly got Mr Honeysuckle to think he’d thought of the idea of using our favourite classic stars as table names, so on each table there’ll be a framed photo of them with their name on a clapper board next to the photo - because, heck, few people are going to be able to recognise what table they’re at just by the photo! We are having eight tables, possibly nine, so we each got to pick four actors or actresses. Funnily enough, I picked the girls and Mr H picked the guys! (With one spare in case of that ninth table). Here they are in one pic - a virtual bouquet to anyone who can name them all! Go on, I dare you. ;-)

Pink and ivory wedding

For my wedding, I had a pink and ivory ”vintage-romance” theme with silver and crystal accents.  The whole venue was draped and had fairy lights, so the decor really fitted in well.
