Love My Dress Soiree

In the summer we got an invitation to the LoveMyDress Soiree. Love My Dress Blog is a great inspiration for us wedding people and brides. It's a great source of ideas and great to keep up to date at all times. The Soiree was to be a big get-together of all wedding suppliers in the UK. We are a quite close knit group, we are all active users on Facebook and Twitter. I feel so very very lucky to have such supporting and talented colleagues.

The event was amazing. The amount of organisation which must have gone into every detail of the decoration of the place, the entertainment, burlesque dancers and the musicians, the costumes, everything was out of this world.

The dress code for the Soiree was "Very Vintage and Very Glam" none of us would be one to miss an opportunity like this. With lots of help from my fabulous staff, I made my own dress in silk chiffon, its a double circle skirt, and silk satin as the lining. The bodice is covered in Chantilly lace which i dyed, a mix of French Rose and Reindeer Beige (that doesn't really sound that glamorous, but it was.. see for yourselves!). It was laced up at the back and had a ruched halterneck. All us girls went for a "period" make-over, and it was much fun
