Sweet Wedding - | Polyvore |

Sweet Wedding *-* by dear-anna-1 featuring Zara Home

We all dream of a fairytale wedding - tying the knot with your sweetheart. Sounds romantic right?

I have to admit I also am a bit of a sucker for romantic stuff...though I don't overtly come across as a ''in-your-face-lover-of-romance''. Especially since the last time I liked romantic books was when I was 13...ugh I know, I know.

So anyways, since inspiration failed to come knocking by, a wedding theme seemed OK. I felt sad putting this set together - I don't know why. The dress itself is so elegant and beautiful it is extremely impossible for me to imagine anyone who would not look good in this dress.

It's called Dapene and it is apparently a 2013 design which I found on Amazon costing a whopping £130 or around $225. Seems expensive to me, though I usually envisaged dresses to cost a breath-taking, tiara-knocking £1,000.

Made of organza tulle, it has a stunning layering detail at the front and a stunning bow tied at the back (I am resisting the temptation to call it CUTE because cute would remind me of babies or bunnies when describing this dress). It is fastened with a zipper, although quite frankly it would be better if it had a corset style fastener but no ones complaining!

The thing that stands out with this dress is how it is embellished with sequins and has a bow and layered lace and what not. Describing it may sound like it is a tasteless dress but once you go clicking through the images and zoom into the details you see how everything is done delicately and with taste. In fact, one could go on to categorise this dress as classic or classical. That's how elegant it is.

To finish off this dress, we've added heels from heels.com. Guess that's one way of never forgeting where you bought your heels from. It would go something like this:
Someone: "Oh my gosh, your heels are so super cute!" *looks at shoes*
You [casually]: "Oh I got it from heels.com."
Someone: "Is that a joke?"
You: "Oh no, of course not, sweetheart. Heels are from heels.com."

Ya. Not exactly the best script in the world.....

Did I mention the shoes cost nearly the same as the dress? Check the website if you don't believe me and compare it. Dress vs shoes.

Looking on the bright side, even though the cost of the ring is at a huge £1,212 from Allurez, the tiara only costs £15 from Debenhams.

The one thing that I think tends to get overlooked when putting together a bridal outfit is the perfume. I don't know whether it is because I am a perfume fanatic (I used up all my Britney Spears Hidden Fantasy in under a month). So I did a little research as to which perfume goes well with bridal dresses. According to Brides Magazine, one of the best bridal perfumes is Endless by Sarah Jessica Parker.

All you have to do is add a cute 3D bouquet (I hate those mushed up squishy ones where you can't even see the petals and greenery and it camouflages with your dress). Now, you're all set!

Even though I'm not sure how many people will actually rake inspiration from this dress, it was fun creating this look and I hope you've liked it as much as I have!!

P.s It sometimes gets lonely on this site and it would really mean a lot to me if you popped a small message even to say hi! ^-^ So ya hope you enjoyed this and have an awesome day/ night (wherever you live)!
