London W1A 1AB

I was at Selfridges yesterday and they didnt have any bookings for fittings for the whole of next week. I even had to wait to see the other rack as they were using one side of the shop as a dressing area. I saw a few women giggling and chatting about and it made me sad not to have a sister.
I must say that the Vera Wang dresses are just exquisite! The first two I saw on the rack were the exact two that I wanted. However, the prices are quite steep as I saw them priced at around £4,000 (roughly $8,000) ! The good news is that the sample sale has prices starting at £995 and the saleswoman said there will be items from last season as well.
I’ve also been looking at some wedding dresses by Reem Acra and Monique Lhuillier. Here are my favourites, we can look and sigh…

oh the dresses are quite pretty! when choosing a dress, its also a good idea to keep in mind what sort of hair, makeup and jewelery you’d like- just to get an idea of whether it would compliment or clash with the dress

Hi Sobie, Thank you for your suggestions. I’m hoping to have my hair up with my hair parted to the side. I’m also hoping to buy some drop down diamond earrings because I think it would look very elegant. I tried on the dress with different hair styles yesterday.
