Since I’m wearing a short dress there’s going to be a lot more emphasis on my shoes. This is hard, because I’m not a crazy shoe person who will go out and buy Louboutins or whatever is hot right now for several hundred dollars. I definitely want something nice though – probably in a bright [...]

A few weeks ago I entered a competition on Polka Dot Bride to win a Henry Roth wedding dress – and the voting has just begun! The entry involved something that I’ve been doing a lot of anyway – making an inspiration board for my wedding! Pulling back my ideas to a chic city wedding [...]

I got a haircut! Okay, generally this isn’t a big deal – I get my hair cut shortish every year when it starts getting warm – it seems that when you’re getting married it is. There’s a bit of an expectation that when you get married you have to have a bridal updo, which requires [...]

I took this photo at Floriade today, and I’m sort of enamoured with the colours. Obviously they’re a bit strong and girly on their own, but used sparingly with some white/cream/beige/brown/grey neutrals I think it could look really pretty.

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. Luckily I’ve come up with an awesome idea [...]

It’s perfectly healthy to think about dresses to take your mind off other things (like impending wisdom teeth extraction and subsequent costs) right? So The Boy looked at my last dress post (yes, he reads this blog and I ask him opinions on things – hi babe!) and said he likes the look of an [...]
