Vera Wang at Browns, London
Hiya! It's been awhile since we met. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of dresses, trips to Paris, and showing my bf my life here in London. During her time here, I tried on my first wedding dress.
I have been engaged for a little over 6 months now and have been extremely reluctant to try anything on. You see, over the years I have been to a number of weddings and all the dresses I have seen in person / online etc. have been absolutely gorgeous, but none of them had that 'me' factor. I was discussing dresses with a friend, Nasiba (please check out her amazing blog here, I literally want her entire wardrobe / life!) and she introduced me to my wedding dress designer, Emilia Wickstead. Of course, I was a little skeptical because designing a dress from scratch means not having a prototype to try on and amend to your liking. However, after meeting her and her amazingness at her London atelier, I was more than convinced.
Emilia's dress / wedding (she also got married last year in Tuscany!) was featured in Vogue UK last year in the fall. Absolutely beautiful...I might even try to copy her entire wedding flower by flower. :)
As a ode to how great she is, Kate Middleton wore one of her dresses from her latest collection to a Queen's Jubilee lunch this past weekend. Now there's another girl I love; pose, grace and class. All that said, I won't be trying to copy anything from her wedding ;)
Back to real life now...I have more guests this week / next. This time from Vancouver! Aren't I a lucky girl :)
