  • Twilight Wedding Dress Replica Out Now!

    Monday 28 November 2011 - Fashion - Tags: twilight, celebrity, film, alfred-angelo, carolina-herrera

    Belleza Bridal announced yesterday that it will be an exclusive stockists of the Alfred Angelo replica of the dress worn by Bella when she marries love interest Edward in this year's Twilight: Breaking Dawn. The original, designed by Carolina Hererra was designed to "reflect the personality and style of the bride." Herrera told Vogue.co.uk, "Bella's dress is romantic and filled with a timeless sophistication, very similar to the character. In a way, this dress served as a symbol of the character's coming of age and introduction into womanhood."

    The Alfred Angelo replica is made from satin sheath and lace applique, and the full-length sleeves, v-neck and classic silhouette create a timeless style while the cut-out illusion back and button detail adds a little sensuality to the gown.

  • Cover up with a Cardi!

    Monday 14 November 2011 - Fashion - Tags: None

    Cardigans are a pretty way of keeping out the cold during the autumn/winter months. Try a bold colour to make a fun and feminine statement on your big day, matching the colour to your bouquet and his buttonhole.

    Wearing a short, waist-legth cardigan over the shoulders is very 50s, and very lady-like (coowee!). To go the full hog wear a diamond or pearl clasp to hold the collar together. If you're going for a colourful cardie however, keep the detail to a minimum, you don't want the cardigan to overshadow your dress! Some pearl buttons would give it a glamourous edge but keep it simple!

    If you are wearing a sheath dress, your cardigan can be a little longer, but your best option is to keep it to the waist if you are wearing a traditional dress. If your dress is a-line you could get away with ballerina-style wrap around (see above).

  • Wedding headpieces and veils fit for a Princess

    Wednesday 11 May 2011 - Fashion - Tags: birdcage-veil, wedding-headpieces, wedding-hair, bridal-hair-accessories

    wedding tiaras headpieces
    Headpieces by Stacey Hannan Designs

    After that wedding last month, tiaras are officially back in vogue. Whereas for many brides tiaras are seen as being a bit too traditional, Kate showed us they can be worn with sophistication, simplicity and class. If you are still airing on the side of caution, hair-wise, you can easily do a take on the tiara with gorgeous pins, headbands, and slides. Now few of us can hit the stores and find ourselves a vintage Cartier fit for a Queen, but not to worry, there are so many brilliant Irish designers creating delicate pieces to adorn the crowns of brides today that we needn’t lose any sleep!

    And what better way to see these stunning pieces than on the brides themselves?!

  • The Royal Wedding Guests

    Friday 29 April 2011 - Beauty, Fashion, News, Photoshoots, Real Weddings - Tags: royal-wedding, royal-wedding-guests, hats, kate-and-william

    The biggest fashion show on the planet took place today inLondon. Bright colours, flamboyant jewellery and over the top hats were the uniform of choice.

    Queen

    The Queen looked particularly elegant in a cheerful primrose-yellow double crepe wool coat and matching wool dress byAngelaKelly, with hand-sown beading at the neck in the shape of sunrays.

    Harry

    Harry wore a Blues and Royals' officer's uniform with a forage cap. The prince wore aiguillettes, a cross belt and gold waist belt with sword slings, but no sword.

    Bc

    Mother-of-the-bride Carole Middleton opted for an elegant and subtle number from Catherine Walker, a French-born designer based inLondonwho was a favourite with Princess Diana.

    The Duchess of Cornwall wore Anna Valentine -- the woman who designed her wedding outfits and is credited with revamping her image. She wore a champagne silk dress and a duck-egg blue and champagne coat with hand-embroidered detailing, teamed with a hat by her favourite milliner, Philip Treacy, and shoes by Jimmy Choo.

    VB

    Queen of fashion Victoria Beckham made an elegant arrival dressed in one of her own autumn/winter creations, specially altered to take account of her baby bump. She cut a demure figure in the knee-length navy number, matched with a pillbox Philip Treacy hat adorned with her hair slicked back in a ponytail. She wore 6in heels customised for her by Christian Louboutin with a large platform to reduce the effect of the heel height, making it easier for the star to wear the shoes for the long day

    Her husband David played it safe in a grey tie and morning suit by Ralph Lauren.

    Princess

    The Queen's granddaughter Princess Eugenie wore an unsuccessful aqua-blue number and small feathered hat, while sister Beatrice went for a summery pale peach, teamed with a statement hat.

    E

    Elton John and David Furnish both wore matching bespoke black morning suits. Elton brightened his with a yellow waistcoat and purple tie.

    q

    Zara Phillips, who is the next royal to get married, was beautiful in a grey suit and dramatic hat

    Chelsy

    Chelsy Davy, Prince Harry's on-off girlfriend, wore a glamorous off-the-shoulder turquoise two-piece, with a playful bow on the back.

    o

    PM David Cameron's wife, Samantha Cameron decided against the traditional hat opting for a feathery barrette teamed with a short-sleeved, figure-hugging teal-green Burburry dress accessorised with orange scarf and nude heels. David Cameron wore a morning suit.

    Wed

    Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria, arriving with husband Prince Daniel, also went for the colour-blocking trend in an orange wrap dress with matching platform shoes and a wide-brimmed hat 

    TP

    Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, socialite and friend of Prince Charles, sported a bright royal blue dress and matching daring teardrop-shaped pillbox hat by British designer Stephen Jones.

    q

    Fancy headgear was the name of the game for female guests at Westminster Abbey today, with pillbox, wide-brimmed beribboned styles and dramatic feathered fascinators making an appearance. Britain's Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's wife Miriam wore what looked to be a Flamenco-inspired hat.
