Wedding Dresses

Choosing a wedding dress can be either really exciting or really daunting and for me...well as soon as I got engaged I was dreaming of a vast princess style wedding dress and set about looking for my dream dress on the internet when I soon realised I had no idea about the different styles, materials or even the designers and the things to consider before you hand over your budget for the dress such as :- Where you will be getting married What colour dress you will want How comfortable the dress is The budget that you have The style of dress that you want When we booked our wedding venue I knew I could start looking for my ...  Read the complete review

St Patricks Day 2006 was a special night for me. I went out with my boyfriend and returned with my fiancé. The proposal wasn't the most romantic...but was probably the funniest. He tripped over the kerb after a few pints of Guinness. We had just got a takeaway and was walking home. I looked down at him with his onion rings and asked if he was hurt...he replied "well while I'm here I may as well...." So he looked up at me with an onion ring in his hand and said "will you marry me" I was stunned and then he put the onion ring on my finger. A few months later he bought a real ring and asked me properly. He really is a sweetie and ...  Read the complete review

When planning our wedding 7 years ago i found a lovely little chain of shops called simones bridal wear. After visiting a few other shops i decided on simones not because they were cheap by any means but because they offered me just what i needed and with a wedding budget of £20,000 i could afford to be picky after all this was going to be the biggest day of my life.

Shopping for your wedding dress is one of the biggest days other than the wedding day itself. I found I had alot of expectations before I went which is not necessarily a positive thing. A great excuse for a girly day with as many or as few people as you wish. Make sure that you wear good underwear - if you think strapless is the way you want to go with your dress wear a strapless bra. It may not be the perfect bra for your dress but the assistants will advise on this when you find your dress. I found that I got a feel for the shops and assistants before trying dresses on. Most make you feel like the only bride out there and do not rush or pressure ...  Read the complete review

Girls dream about them, brides fuss about them, parents weep at them. Wedding dresses are the thing of dreams and most girls seem to have an idea of what makes the perfect dress. Some brides-to-be will pour over magazines for months on end in search of the "perfect dress" ordering the same to be specially made many months before the big day in search of perfection. Others whether through constraints of time or money will seek a dress "off the peg", new or second, hand. All, with few exceptions, will look equally stunning or as my father so eloquently put it in a very out-of-character moment "the dogs b8llocks"! For all, ...  Read the complete review
