Polly - the Bride

This fun challenge is the brain child of Danimezza...

This week's theme is Bride.

I couldn't be more excited. Weddings are my very favourite thing. I love anything to do with a wedding. So today's challenge was just too much fun.

I went with a vintage inspired theme, still traditional but with a modern feel.

My own wedding dress was pink and I adored it, still do. I wrote a post about it here and you can see it below. I still think our wedding was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. I also wrote about it here.

But it was fun planning another bride's outfit.

I couldn't stop at the bride, I had to do a bridesmaid outfit as well.
So here's Polly, the bride, and her sister Molly, the bridesmaid...

  4. Love both the dresses and love that you wore pink! I wore pink, green and red. You can see it here:http://www.everythingisedible.com/blog/family-life/wedding-dress-blog-hop/

    I secretly love that I wore colour before it was "fashionable" because I didn't do it for fashion, I did it because it perfectly reflected/s "me"!
