signing out as Miss to become a Mrs

My own wedding is next week, so you would have to excuse my recent lack of posts. To make up for that here is a link to a wonderful blog, with plently of photos of period wedding dresses for you to drool over. Enjoy, I shall be back after the honeymoon…

The Bridal Blues

Most brides wear a blue ribbon garter as their 'something blue' but why not use this old tradition as a way to introduce a colourful edge to your Bridal look? Pale blue lacey lingerie is pretty, flattering, and a nice departure from the usual cream or white bridal sets. This blue bra from TopShop is a gorgeous blue and comes with matching knickers in two styles.

As you know, I'm no fan of white satin shoes. You have to be a brave bride to pull this off, but why not go bold and blue on your footwear? You could stick to pale blue satin or really rock things up with these amazing blue suede heels.

If you and your husband-to-be plan to exchange gifts on the day, you could do worse than hint that these stunning Butler & Wilson pearl and topaz earrings would make the ideal wedding day gift. They would look wonderful with almost any period of retro dress, and they will give you joy for many years to come.

On the other hand, if you want to keep your 'something blue' down to a few quid, you could choose blue nail varnish as an alternative to the usual French manicure. Anything from metallic Royal blue to high-shine Cadillac turquoise could do, but I rather like this pale lilac-blue from Model's Own.
