I am not a high fashion person. I’m not even a vaguely fashionable person. But damn, these hats by Philip Treacy are more like art. I don’t think I have the bone structure to pull one off even if I could afford it, but they are lovely to look at and thought I’d share! These [...]

I stumbled across the first of these dresses on Etsy, and the spent a while going through designer Elizabeth Dye’s blog and the English Department website for other dresses she’s made. She has a store in Oregon and only sells a few dresses via Etsy it seems, but I really love what I’ve seen there [...]

… I want them.

So yeah, if you didn’t catch the date or absurdity of my last post, it was in fact an April Fool’s Day joke. Mostly it was intended for my bridesmaids, but judging from their responses and emails it looks like they know me well enough to know I was kidding, whereas the rest of you [...]

Chatting with my bridal crew has gotten me thinking about bridesmaid dresses. My four lovely bridesmaids all live in Perth while I’m over here in Canberra, so going big group shopping trips until we come up with something that everyone is happy with unfortunately isn’t an option.

With such a large percentage of the populations of countries featured in wedding blogs being not quite [...]

Ah, The Dress! I’m not one of the girls who always fantisised about her wedding dress. I’m definitely not one of the girls who must have a fancy designer dress (although if you are and can afford it, go you!). Since I didn’t really have an specific ideas I was attached to, I figured I’d [...]

This morning during my pattern making class, I asked my teacher if she knew of any local dressmakers who could make my wedding dress. She suggested that I try making it myself, if the design isn’t too complicated (it isn’t). I’ll already have my basic blocks* and know-how from pattern-making class, and since I was [...]

Went shopping with The Boy to find a really nice suit for him to wear to all the weddings we’ve been invited to lately. Suit shopping is so different to shopping for dresses – the differences between them can be subtle, but it makes a bit difference to the overall look, in my opinion. He [...]
