The mad rush is on to find the most perfect wedding gown for you.  Ellana Couture has designed to perfection Jasmine.  A vintage glamour ivory lace wedding dress which is created with super light and comfortable ivory lace.  Has the retro look of Hollywood glam!  I can see Elizabeth Taylor, as a young woman, wearing this beautiful dress!

Another gorgious wedding dress was designed by Clair La Faye.   The Parisian Princess Gown of gossamer confection is 100% silk chiffon over a layer of silk charmeuse and lined in a light china silk.

To accent your beautiful wedding gown, Myth Understood designed Ghost Bride - Fairytale Ethereal Snowy White OOAK Pearl Neckpiece with Vintage Art Brooch.  This stunning necklace is lush, etheral and romatic, a one-of-a-kind statement in soft creamy ivory white.

Have your Bridesmaid love you immensely for this gorgeous dress, Rosalie's Lipstick designed by Sarah Seven.  This silk chiffon dress pleated at the bust with a flower belt with layers flowing straight down could also be used after your wedding for other occasions.

To add more beauty to your wedding attire, make yourself into a Princess with this Queen of the Woods - Natural Crown by Which Goose.  This fabulous crown is created with a natural vine base, paired with dried leaves and a pine cone rose and topped with pearl beads.

Which Goose has also designed these too cute shoes, Garden Stroll.  These embellished shoes are amazing and have upcycled vintage heels by Stuart Weitzman.  On top of the shoes are lots of leaves and pink flowers, including matching vintage baubles on the toes (that were once clip-on earrings), how clever!

After the ceremony, the reception is the time to really sit back and enjoy your guests.  Set your lovely tables with Anchor Place Cards by Timeless Paper.  These handcrafted place cards gracefully perch on wine glasses making any table more eye-catching.

One of the most exciting moments at your reception for your guest is seeing your beautiful wedding cake.  Your guests will oooh and ahhh over it and anxiously wait to taste your sumptuous and tasty wedding cake.
