The dress countdown...

Ok so here we are dress nummber 1... the dress I have not been able to get out of me head since I first saw it, the dress at all other dresses have been compared to...


David Fielden - 7240


Oh I swoon this is not the dress I would have thought I would be crazy about but oh boy I am. That neckline is just what I want it covers my bits I don't like, but its all laid back and pretty at the same time, the tulle at the bottom still says bride even though the top looks so effortless, it even has a bow one thing that definately had to be on my dream dress. I love it and the more i look at it the more i love it!

The boyfriend will love it because I would look like me and will probably wear flats under it and wear it with a cardigan lol It's frou frou enough to keep the ladies of my family happy but relaxed enough that I would feel like a total stranger. I want!

Hope you have enjoyed my dream dress countdown, you can catch the other posts here, here, here and here. Please tell me your dream picks or which of my dresses you liked the most.

The dress countdown...

So we're almost at the finish line... Read here, here and here for the rest of the countdown.

But today we're on to dress 3 and 2

So at number 3 which is, Jewel JL307 by Priscilla of Boston

I love this dress as it is but because we are having such a tiny wedding and its going to be uber short, I like the idea of a short dress because I could wear it all day but everyone keeps telling me I would regret not having a big dress, so look at this *it's AMAZING*

I love it would be so cool lol *easily pleased* would solve all my problems. Again I like that It covers my back and it has such an elegance. I'm not sure about her shoes though lol

Dress number 2 is, Beatrix by Elizabeth Dye


Well there had to be a sort dress I'm still really undecided about a long or a sort dress, I think my main problem with a sort dress is loads of them are very 50's which I love but it just isn't my normal style or they are soooo plain! I really struggle to pick just one dress once I found Elizabeth Dye and then Sarah Seven. The reason I picked Dye over Seven for the number two spot was that I love Sarah Seven's dresses but I don't think I have the body to pull of one of her creations and I think my Nan and Dad would die if I wore and short dress with a corset top in a church lol.

So back to Elizabeth Dye all of her dresses are so whimsical I love them I had a really hard time picking my favourite. It bums me out that her dresses go to a size 12 as a lady a few sizes bigger than that. So it is not an actual option but I do love this dress and all its simple girly loveliness with a huge short veil is how I would rock it.

and tomorrow will be my number 1 dream dress!

The dress countdown....

So its going to be a 3 post day which almost never happens

We're back to those beautiful dresses see the first and second posts if you missed them but on to number 5...

This is Estela by Rosa Clara


What a beauty I'd like to say I'd be brave enough to wear black but I wouldn't be, so I'd have it in white but it's every princesses dream but still has sophistication. I love how tiny and doll like this dress makes the model look. Simply stunning

Dress Number 4, Delaney - Vera Wang

oh how I'd love to be dressed in Vera wany on my wedding day, it's a long shot to be honest and I loved all of her dresses, it's understandable that when you think wedding dress you think Vera Wang. But this was the dress of her's I could actually see myself in simple clean with that killer bow.

The Dress countdown...

Hello ladies did you have a good weekend mine was fab!

So I thought I'd just right in with the next instalment of my top 9 dream wedding dresses *9 & 8 here* so here we go...

Number 7 - Light in the box *again*

Now this dress is one of my more detailed dresses with the detailed edge and all that crafted tulle this dress is as frou-frou of a dress as I can handle * frou-frou being a term my sister created when looking for her dress* I'm not good at lots of anything but everyone keeps telling me I only get one chance to wear the big frou-frou dress so my heart picks this one while my mind goes crazy. lol

Number 6 - Monique Lhuillier - Grace

Would you just look at that dress. I am very uncomfortable showing my back due to still being a teenager and spots being the enemy and am planing to wear a cover up with the strapless dresses but this dress has that covered. But I've got large shoulders and am afraid this would draw attention to that. I am so In love with this dress it's one of the last ones I found and I imagen it would make me feel like Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn. Again not sure that is the veil I would wear.

So again please tell me what you think and if you have pictures or links to your dresses please let me see.

Glorious Saturday For...

...Dresses!

It's currently very beautiful here in Essex I'm sitting under an open window, feeling the breeze and the warmth of the sun while sorting out my music collection on the laptop, because it really needs it.

I woke up singing 'forget your troubles come on get happy'... which is almost unheard of.

So I thought we'd carry on with things I'm loving and it gets even better because the wedding planning is now ago. We are doing this, people will always try to get you down admittedly you hope it won't be your family but in this case it is I spent last weekend with my parents and things have smoothed out and they have agreed to help on set things. So the next few posts with be... Wedding Dresses

I'm going to show you the 9 dresses I've managed to get it down to lol. This is a vast improvement if I'm honest. I won't show you all of them at once. I have shown The Boyfriend all of them because I'm rubbish at keeping things to myself and I needed to show someone.(although "they all look the same" was not the response I was going for) I'm not saying that the dresses I'm showing you are going to be drasticlly different but they are the ones I'm honestly considering.

In reverse order - Watters - Sydney

I like this dress it's not one of my top 5's but it did make it to the number 9 spot. I don't want something to grown up I will only be 22 when we get married I like this dress it's fun and a very fairytale dress, I'm not sure I could pull off that veil though.

At Number 8 - Light In The Box


This dress is from a chinese company Light In The Box that do their own takes on big designer dresses. It's good because brides can put up pictures of their dresses that got from the sight and people leave amazing comments so get a feel of good quality. My Mum is buying my dress but has said I have to pick my dress then we will get in made from a website like this (so if you have any recommendations please let me know.) I'm a curvy girl and I like the way this dress really shows of the waist which mine is quite small for a girl of my size. I would have this dress in ivory I think it would be so easy to wear.

Thats the two for today check back Monday for the next two.

The dress search is on...

I find it super difficult to spend money on my self and I love to have a style. Maybe not up-to-date fashion sort of styles more my own personal style. I have tried many different styles, I have been an emo with involved so much hair dye my hair looked like straw. Hippy styles where I wore a lot of sun dresses and then there was the phase where I was crazy about junk jewellery. I’m pretty sure most people do this in they teenage years.

Then I went through a stage of have no money, none what so ever. I got clothes from charity shops (which in no way is a bad thing there are some real finds out there) or family members would see the holes in my clothes and buy me some new ones. While I was unemployed I put on weight like crazy by not exercising and eating pretty much everything. But I’m starting to build up a collection of clothes, I’m starting to lose weight slowly and in a health way (more balanced meals, cutting right down on junk food, no fizzy drinks and smaller portions).

The reason I tell you this is the dreaded wedding dress search. Now I have mentioned before that I haven’t had the best start with the wedding dress hunt. My Mum offered to buy my dress for me… as long as I lost a certain amount of weight, and she wouldn’t even start talking about the dress let alone looking for it until I had lost the amount of weight that she would like. On top of that we had completely different styles of dress in mind.

My Mum kept pointing out big over the top wedding dresses and with crystals and sparkles galore. Which I can totally understand people wanting you only get one chance to rock the fairy princess dress but its just not my style. So I very politely told my Mum that I would but my own dress and she could buy something amazing to wear, she was quite happy with this.

So I have simple tastes and the type of dress I’m looking at is this one but with a white sash…



I saw it and knew that it was just right as it’s a small short wedding it's big enough to rock at a Cathedral not to much that I’m going to feel silly wearing it in the Cathedral hall after! Only problem is its from Aria Dress which means its American and I’m worried about buying my dress online. By the way I didn't even know of this company until it was featured on Rock n' Roll bride! I love wedding blogs! Has anyone done it? Any tips? Because I love it! If not I think I might look into having a dress made but where do I start looking for someone. I’m sure this will be a recurring topic.

Tell me what you think, what dresses do you have in mind?

Love
Simone
