Wedding Season

Most of us have been invited to at least one wedding this summer. Everyone it seems is tying the knot this year, the best friend, work colleagues, Katie Price, Chelsea Clinton, Robbie Williams and Princess Victoria of Sweden (wow was that an extravagant wedding or what?!). So all you can do is find a wedding suitable outfit or three, secure a date (much more difficult than it sounds if you’re single, as weddings scare the hell out of single men) or alternatively find a good excuse not to go. We’ll let you off for the latter if it’s a colleagues wedding, if you’ve been invited to be in the wedding party however or if it’s the wedding of a family member then you’re going to need a very good excuse not to go! There is always more pressure if you are involved in the wedding party, as a bridesmaid or family member, as this requires much more chit-chat with guests and plenty of posing for somewhat unnatural photographs. On the positive side, you get extra fuss all day and get to wear something more extravagant, which is all good by us!

Weddings are funny things, as although their main purpose is to celebrate the love of two people deciding to spend the rest of their lives together, they are also very stressful and expensive even for guests. Like Christmas, weddings seem to have had their meaning lost under all the entrées, limousines and pressure for everything to be perfect. So if you’re getting married soon, planning a wedding or going to a wedding, just try to remember the reason behind all the little things that go towards making the day special.

Top tips for wedding guests;

1. Always take a gift and a card even if the couple ask for money or have a set list, a gift makes you look thoughtful and generous.
2. Be on best behaviour and leave the embarrassing drunk uncle act to the embarrassing drunk uncle.
3. Don’t look in any shape or form like you are trying to upstage the bride. Click here to see some of our wedding worthy dresses with extra room for your boobs which will save you about three weeks trawling the shops for a dress that fits!
4. Dance! The bride and groom didn’t spend a small fortune on a live band for you to sit down all evening. So dust off your dancing shoes and join in, avoiding the sways of the drunken uncle of course, the last thing you want is beer spilt down a dress that took you the best part of a month to find.

Stick to these golden rules and you’re sure to have a great time, oh and if you’re that bothered, you can practice your catching skills too!

Beautiful Brides

Did you know that we do bridal lingerie too? If not you yourself, most of us will know some lucky lady who has been proposed to over Christmas. And as men fall to their knees to pop the question, so starts the task of wedding planning.

As the wedding dress plays such an important role in how we look and feel on the big day, just as much thought should be put in to what is worn underneath. Gorgeous and great fitting underwear will help you to feel that extra bit special the whole day and night long. So brides to be, we have a great selection of lingerie designed with your special day in mind.

The confetti collection, appropriately named, is beautifully embroidered though its delicate appearance still gives fabulous support all day long. It comes as a basque, strapless bra or as a body with matching thong or briefs in ivory or black, for any special occasion. We’re sure this collection will make you feel fantastic worn under any outfit, be it your wedding, someone else’s wedding or not a wedding at all!

If you prefer something more simple, the Zara bra is a great and versatile bra that can be worn with halterneck, cross-over or regular straps. And the push up plunge cups will boost your boobs and give great cleavage.
