Head to Toe Princess

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

This is the second in our little mini blog series where we ask Clare Guest from The Wedding Club to pick one of her favourite dresses and then match it up with a beautiful headpiece from Sharper Millinery and of course, a pair of our girls!

Elie Saab 2011 Collection -  Auriga

This creation is from Elie Saab 2011 Collection –  ’Auriga’ – a vintage styled lace gown from one of the world’s top designers using the finest silks to create a classic hourglass silhouette.

We can’t decide between something lacy to accentuate the dress, perhaps our Lilly or a true vintage classic Duchess, from our new Pearl Collection.  Either would be the perfect partner to this absolutely stunning gown.

Sally Harper, one of our favourite, favourite milliners has chosen this understated yet truly beautiful headpiece that has been designed to say it all without overpowering an already powerful dress.

It’s official – we’re in love!

Match Made In Heaven

We’ve linked up with two fabulous local wedding professionals for a series of mini bridal blogs. In each entry we’ll show you a beautiful dress, a fabulous headpiece and of course the perfect pair of shoes to bring the whole look together.

Bridal gowns come courtesy of our friends at The Wedding Club in Harborne, a simply stunning boutique selling the ‘creme de la creme’ of wedding dresses.  For brides looking for something alternative to the traditional veil, the lovely Sally Harper at Sharper Millinery has added her choices of headpieces and last but not least, yours truly so you are covered literally from head to toe in gloriousness!

Right let’s start with this absolutely stunning dress from the Jenny Packham 2011 Collection – ‘Minerva‘. The ultimate romantic princess silk tulle gown with vintage styled flower applique detail.

With so much romance going on in this look, we’ve picked two choices – one from our new Pearl collection – the very lovely Venetia, with just a hint of colour to peep out from under the delicate layers of the dress. Or the simplicity of Eva from our Ivory collection.
