A UK wedding blog with the aim of inspiring brides to create a day which will make them and their guests beam with delight.....whilst of course with a glass of champagne in hand.
Winter Brides
Winter brides can keep cosy in bridal shrugs and here are some of my favourite ones. Whether you decide to splash out or be more conservative with your spending there is something for everyone out there.All you need is a pair of uggs to keep your feet cosy.
Headpieces by Debbie Carlisle
A headpiece could be the thing that you are missing for your day and these ones from Debbie Carlise cater for vintage sparkles and flowers in both statement pieces and more delicate ones. Whether it’s for all day or just to lift you ‘evening look’, these headpieces are the perfect accessory.
These images are from the 2013 collection and my personal favourites are Violet and Lottie.
Debbie Carlisle also designs jewelled bouquets which are worth a look if you want something different.

Bracelets
I am a timeless fashion girl at heart but I love any bride who can retain their personality and a certain degree of ‘coolness’.
Whether that is with some awesome shoes or some statement jewellery.
This post is all about wearing a statement bracelet. For any brides who would prefer to keep their jewellery to a minimal then how about a statement piece for your bridesmaids?

Bridal bling
Like many women I am a bit of a magpie when it comes to things that sparkle and I’m discovering that your W-day is the perfect excuse to buy/borrow/plead for your favourite jewels.

Cathedral Veils
I never thought that I would be a ‘veil girl’ and if I did have one then it would be a short simple one.
Well, all that changed when I started trying dresses on…the long veil always seemed to ‘complete’ the dress I was wearing. I sweated it our for a bit (they do not come cheap) but alas, my love was cemented when I saw the bottom right picture. Bam, cathedral lace edged veil it has to be! So the search is on…..

Sparkling Headpieces
Jenny Packham offers these b-e-a-utiful headpieces as a brilliant alternative to the traditional veil.
They range from £235 - £505 so they don’t come cheap but I think it’s always worth a look on sites such as Preloved to see if you can pick up a bargain. Alternatively, justify your spend by either selling it after the wedding or sharing it with a sister/daughter/friend.
When it comes to buying something you love, I can always justify it for you!
